Chip and Laura Fieberg
Being first exposed to yoga in 1998 in Los Angeles, Chip struggled to find a form of yoga that felt appropriate and grounded. After sampling from the many styles available in southern California, he was introduced to Forrest Yoga in 2002 by friend and mentor Brian Campbell.
Chip connected immediately to the strategic cues and careful alignment that Forrest Yoga possessed. Feeling a pronounced shift from pain to pleasure in the low back, Chip identified with the systemic approach as being highly relevant to his well being. He was trained by Ana Forrest in 2003 to teach and started teaching part time soon after.
In 2009, Chip made the shift towards teaching full time while diving deeper into his own yoga practice. Part of the motivation to do so was the discovery of AcroYoga. This exhilarating practice gave another layer of meaning to Chip’s yoga practice.
After a full life of high-impact sports and activities, Laura Fieberg was ready for yoga. She went to her first class in 2003, and felt so good after that she’s been hooked ever since. She is now a certified yoga and AcroYoga instructor, a proud team member of the Yogaslackers, and a part-time masseuse.
Laura loves her job as it helps others to feel better in their bodies and minds. She will encourage students to relax one day, and then throw them in the air and just play another. Laura became a certified yoga instructor after attending the Ana Forrest teacher training in 2009. She completed the AcroYoga teacher training and received her certification in the summer of 2010. Laura has a Thai Massage certification from the Shiatsu School of Massage in Santa Monica, has trained with a Chinese masseuse and practitioner, and has many hours of experience giving massage.
Over the course of the first few months of being exposed to AcroYoga, Chip & Laura both knew that they wanted to become AcroYoga teachers. During the summer of 2010, they were selected to join over 30 other AcroYogis in beautiful Santa Barbara to train to teach AcroYoga.
Chip & Laura progressed rapidly in AcroYoga and now teach a wide variety of classes and workshops ranging from introduction classes to intermediate workshops. Chip and Laura’s first AcroYoga teacher was Jason Magness of the YogaSlackers. Quickly Chip & Laura resonated with the YogaSlackers’ philosophy and life style. After spending about a year as full blown YogaSlacker groupies, Chip and Laura were named official YogaSlackers. Now, Chip and Laura host retreats with other YogaSlackers teaching yoga, slackline yoga, AcroYoga, rock climbing, and meditation. Chip is also an active part of the YogaSlackers’ impressive media team, generating print media as well as online and video.
