About LPM Joy...               About me...

Hi, I’m Laura Mushenko, founder of LPM Joy. I’m someone who’s spent a lifetime walking the path of transformation, not because it was trendy, but because I needed it. And I know what it feels like to want more from life, to long for wholeness, freedom, joy, and real connection.

​

My journey started at sixteen, when I first discovered the power of mindset and inner work through inspirational cassette tapes. That spark turned into a calling, one that led me to study deeply, live intentionally, and keep choosing love, even through the messy parts. I spent twelve years at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, teaching yoga, guiding workshops on living with inner peace, compassion, manifesting and empowerment, and assisting some of the most powerful teachers in the world.

 

But titles and trainings aside, the heart of my work...

​I hold space with deep compassion and nonjudgmental awareness. I’m not here to fix you or elevate myself, I walk beside you. Because everything you’re looking for? It’s already within you. My job is simply to help you remember.

Whether it’s through coaching, retreats, workshops, or mentoring, I create spaces where people feel safe enough to exhale, open up, and rediscover what’s been there all along.

​

On a more personal note, I’ve been married for 30 years, a love that’s grown with time, rooted in respect, laughter, and friendship. I’m also a proud mom to two extraordinary young adults who live with heart and purpose. My family is my foundation, my joy, and my why. Along with being a Mom, I am blessed with 3 siblings and an abundance of nieces and nephews who I treasure. Each relationship offers me many powerful teachings. Relationships can be our greatest opportunity to continue to learn, grow and evolve 

​

Everything I offer is grounded in love, shaped by lived experience, and devoted to helping you feel fully alive, on your terms.

Because in the end, this work isn’t about becoming someone else.

It’s about returning to yourself.

And it’s always, always about a feeling.​

My Lineage & Influences

​

The work I offer today is grounded in decades of whole-being training, deep presence, and lived experience. I’ve studied with world-renowned teachers, facilitated life-changing breathwork, and held space for transformation in thousands of lives. But more than anything, my path is about awakening what already lives within you.

​

I am a 1000-hour certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher and completed a 4.5-year Acharya training in the Kripalu lineage, where I was given the Sanskrit name "Radhika." I’ve trained in YogaKids (310 hours), became a transformational breathwork facilitator, and was part of a powerful Stanford University study that immersed me in a full year of Tony Robbins’ programs, training and his teachings. 

​

I’ve assisted, held space and co-created experiences in multiple ways. Assisting gifted teachers like Dr. Joe Dispenza, Caroline Myss, Deepak Chopra, Bruce Lipton, Byron Katie, Gabby Bernstein, the Kripalu Ashram teachers and multiple conferences and trainings during my 12 years at Kripalu. My work is shaped and inspired by the teachings of an abundance of powerful teachers including Carolyn (Vidya) Dulluomo, Devarshi Steven Hartman, Sage Robbins, Abraham Hicks, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Alison Armstrong, Jay Shetty, Dr. Shefali, Marie Forleo, Sir Richard Branson, Matthew McConaughey, Jim Kwik and many others that have both touched and inspired something within my Soul.

​

One of the most formative experiences in my path was assisting and facilitating breathwork during the Kripalu Energy Intensive for over a decade with Jonathan Foust and Richard Faulds. This powerful immersion wove embodied yoga, active meditation, and energy-clearing breathwork in a way that touched the soul.

One participant once said the breathwork felt “more powerful than 20 years of therapy.” That kind of transformation still fuels my deepest work today.

 

Many of my private retreats are rooted in that same structure, for those seek the deeper experiences...

​

At the core of it all are my parents were my greatest teachers. My father, a decorated World War II Marine hero, taught me to trust my instincts, speak my truth, stand in my power and find beauty in the mess. My mother, endlessly loving, kind and selfless, taught me the importance of self-care through her own deep giving. They showed me how to feel life fully and love beyond measure.

​

Their legacy lives in everything I offer.

This is not about my story.

 

It’s about the stories waiting to be reclaimed within you.

My work exists to help you reconnect to your light, your truth, your power and your own extraordinary life. Because in the end, it’s not about credentials or achievements.

​

It’s about a feeling.
