Laurie Tallie is our beloved Office Manager. Laurie is a retired teacher who started taking yoga in 2005 and found a home and community at Blue Pearl Yoga. Practicing yoga has helped her to age gracefully, to keep her body limber and strong, to stretch her limits while “stretching her soul, ”as the philosophy behind yoga rings true for her. In 2008, she joined the team at Blue Pearl as Office Manager, keeping the studio in order, distributing brochures, as well as whatever else needs doing. She will begin taking registrations with the August session, and hopes to meet and greet the students at each class.
