Originally, Lauterbach hails from Walla Walla, Wash. She graduated with her B.S. and masters degrees from the University d of Idaho and studied for a period with dance instructor Bill Evans in Seattle, Wash. Lauterbach has started applying yoga to her everyday stress, and has found that it has helped her in every aspect of her life. She says, Now I can go throughout a very stressful day and not feel the stress in my muscles as badly as I normally would. She says many performers have come to her and asked her to help them with the stress that they have to deal with in their performances. Whether you are a singer or a dancer, breathing right is a big part of giving a good performance, notes Lauterbach.

Assistant Professor of Dance Terri Lauterbach has found what she thinks to be as close to a fountain of youth as possibble. Her love of yoga has become her lifeline to a stress-fre- e environment. Lauterbach traveled to the Greek island of Lesbos this summer for a three-wee- k workshop under the direction of Angela d Farm and Victor Van Koten. Both are yoga instructors, having spent at least 20 years working on this art form. Lauterbach became interested when she found herself becoming tense before performances, and she has talked to several other dancers who were bothered by the same problem. It is almost impossible to dance properly when tense, she says, but that learning to tune into her own body really helped with her discovery levels of awareness as to how her body was reacting to different stresses. Learning the technique of aligning the body just the right way is an important key to performing at a peak level, she says. Lauterbach loves visiting the Greek islands, and says it is her favorite place on Earth. The sand, water and people were all delightful, she says.
