This personal website is a platform for me to share my thoughts about life, love and the pursuit of happiness.

Much of my time is spent serving in the capacity of Director of Serenity at the Inns of Aurora on Cayuga Lake.

I founded and still own a design and marketing firm — Coburn Design, Inc. in 1992. While I am still involved it is in the able hands of Chris Madden and Natalie Kimbrough. I also teach yoga under the brand Eka. You can find out more about my teaching at Eka's web site.

The more I practice (yoga) the more I know.

May 30, 2015  /  Laura Coburn

The more I practice (yoga) the more I know. I know myself. I know that I and everyone I come in contact with is more than the sum of our parts. We “think” we are the things we have accomplished or perhaps we think we are the body that we are in, but I know we are something else. We are good. We are good, not from achievements or acts, or even our appearance. We are not good because we are pleasing to others or ourselves. We are good because we are. I believe at our very core, our essence, we are love itself. We have a treasure inside us that can not be scarred by time or tarnished by deed. This goodness inside each one of us may emerge at anytime and, if fully charged, will emerge with light and power that can bless and heal, love and elevate. It is so strong and powerful that we may be overwhelmed when it is uncloaked. I believe it is when it is uncloaked that we may feel a spontaneous burst of joy that may appear as tears or acts of great courage. Recently, I have witnessed this more acutely in others as I believe it is inherent in me. Yoga has cultivated this awareness in me. I believe it appears more readily in direct relationship to the amount of time I practice being still. It is in the stillness that the well of true knowledge can bubble up and break the surface. This knowledge may uncomfortably disturb the “stories” we tell ourselves about our reality. This knowledge is our truth. We are good. You are good.
