My Story

Lorri L. DeVore, RYT200, Reiki Master, Certified Meditation Practitioner

• Lorri discovered yoga later in life after sitting at a computer for thirty-two years and her body had lost most of its flexibility. She had always been drawn to holistic healing and the mind, body, spirit connection resonated deeply within. She wanted to try yoga for years but always thought only young flexible people could do it. Riddled with pain and inflexibility at the age of 55 she took the beginner’s series class at the House of AUM directed by Melissa Herzog. That class changed her life! Learning to listen to and honor her body was her first step in a journey that led her to earning her 200HR teacher certification just shy of turning 56 years old!
  
• Once completing her certified yoga teacher training (CYT-200) specializing in restorative deep stretch yoga, Lorri felt called to deepen her practice of healing herself and others by becoming a Reiki Master. In performing Reiki, she can identify areas of the body which may hold stuck or negative energy and help her clients relieve stress, achieve energetic balance, better clarity and a deeper sense of calm. After retiring in December 2019 Lorri added Reiki Levels I and II to her offerings. In addition, Lorri has taught in-person workshops and in 2023 earned her certification as a meditation practitioner/teacher. Lorri holds firmly to the belief that if she could learn yoga, anyone who wants to, can! Join Lorri in 2024 at the Springfield, Ohio United Senior Services Center (USS) where she will be teaching restorative gentle stretch yoga classes.
  
• Lorri is also a contributing writer for HeldintheHeart.com and published her first book titled Ramblings, A Simple Book of Poetry and Lyrics found on Lulu.com. In addition, she enjoys homesteading and spending time in nature with her animals.
