Spiral Yoga & Wellness Accolades

"The space at Spiral Yoga is perfect: simple, warm, grounding, and also inspiring. This is partly because of the design elements – brick building, cork floors, intriguing art – but also because of the teachers. Walking in, you just have the sense that starting wherever you are and bringing whatever you have is, well, perfect."
-- Kellie L. Teter

"I met Laura in 2002. She was my first yoga teacher and to this day she continues to mentor, inspire and expose me to the potent teachings of yoga and mindfulness! Laura teaches yoga in a style that is technically skillful yet accessible, deeply intuitive and consistently creative. I’m continuously struck by Laura’s deep connectivity with her students, herself and with spirit. Along with her expertise in yoga instruction, Laura is a healer by nature. I am indebted to Laura for her countless hours of listening to me, believing in me and for gently facilitating ways for me to inquire into the archive of my own heart for answers to life’s many questions. Laura truly walks the talk. She is a model of someone who lives with purpose and intention. Because of Laura’s leadership and friendship I have found more potential and joy in my own life. Laura inspired me to pursue the path of teaching yoga and I am thrilled that she has created Spiral as a safe place to facilitate positive shifts in the lives others in the Colorado community!"
-- Leah Pearson, MA, RYT in the Anusara-Inspired method

"Laura Wade Jaster has the reputation as the best prenatal teacher in Denver."
-- Tina Porter, Power Yoga teacher

"I have been a student of Laura's for the last couple years. She has provided mentorship, guidance, support, and compassion through my yoga teacher training program, prenatal yoga, prenatal yoga teacher training, and now through baby and me yoga. Laura creates a safe space in her classes free of judgment where you can share your experiences while developing a community with other women. Laura has been an inspiration to me both on and off my mat and I will always be grateful to her for encouraging me to embrace the grace that lies within."
-- Sara Guenther, Yoga teacher

"Laura's prenatal yoga class was an excellent way to workout and connect with other moms-to-be during those 9 months. I used the breathing techniques I practiced in her yoga class during labor but more than anything I felt so strong and centered during my pregnancy and throughout childbirth. Laura has a way of guiding class that feels challenging, supportive, spiritual, and educational. I looked forward to her class every week as I do now for baby and me yoga.
Thank you Laura for all you have done in your classes to support my process of becoming and being as a mom, both physically and emotionally."
-- Kate Zeschin

"As a student of Laura's prenatal yoga classes I looked forward to each class and was sad to miss out on any of them. Each class had such a different tone as was set by Laura's "topic du jour". It was wonderful to be in a room of women at various stages of pregnancy openly and honestly sharing the wonderful, and trying stages of our 40 weeks. It felt ok to cry if you needed, as you were seldom alone, and it was ok to vent your anger or fear and allow it to resonate or hear your voice confirmed. I learned so much from our group. To then turn that shared sentiment into the foundation of practice or as the release in practice was wonderful. Laura's classes were a place where I felt safely instructed while still "allowed" to be a strong and active woman. I look forward to attending these classes again when I get around to kiddo number 2!"
-- Erin Rolf

"Laura introduced me to the calming power of yoga just when my body needed it most - during my first trimester of pregnancy. She encourages women to become even stronger during pregnancy, both through our yoga practice and open, heartfelt discussion about the joys, challenges, and new experiences we face as women and mothers. Laura truly has a gift for reaching out to others, asking us to look inward, and encouraging us to bloom as women and mothers."
-- Danielle Varda

"You two and your gem of a studio are such a wonderful part of my life. I love it at Spiral -- even if I can't get there all that often. Thank you so, so much. You have been a huge, monstrous blessing in my life."
-- Gayle Joyner

"To the amazing people at Spiral - consider my soul stirred! I will definitely be back - the space has such an awesome energy, and Katrina's class partnered with the amazing music provided by DJ Solomoon was by far one of the most creative and inspiring yoga classes I've ever taken. As a yoga instructor, I love learning from other teachers and exploring new places to practice, but I believe I've found a home at Spiral - from the depths of my heart, thank you!"
