The Thai yoga therapy was the best deep tissue massage I have ever had. Laura Armenta holistic approach and vast knowledge is awesome. She is very professional, skilled, strong and able to actually penetrate the muscles for a genuine deep muscle massage therapy. I completely enjoyed this unique experience. The calm and relaxing atmosphere throughout the whole treatment make my Thai massage therapy such a wonderful experience. I had a very good night sleep after one session with her, and my shoulders, neck, joints and legs felt so much better. I’m Looking forward to my next appointment.

Laura taught us an intro to movement arts and what it means and its benefits. She was relatable, knowledgeable, and made the class the right balance of information and hands-on work. It was really fun and a great remind about the mind-body connection we often forget and/or neglect. I immediately saw a difference in my confidence and attitude afterward.

Always uplifting and positive atmosphere. I think people get the sense of feeling not only welcome but as part of a family.

Laura has done an amazing job of creating online courses so we can keep movement, positivity, and fitness in our daily lives during this time. I highly suggest taking her classes online and then when she reopens taking her in person classes. Your life will be changed !

Armentality has so much to offer, and Laura is an amazing instructor! She makes you feel comfortable and energized. Over the past couple years Ive especially enjoyed Contemporary Dance (level 1 and foundation level) and her improvisational movement workshops. Besides providing excellent fitness, her classes have helped me feel more in touch with myself and just a more whole human being. Highly recommended!

Laura is an excellent teacher. Her knowledge of human anatomy is clear as she makes adjustments for each student. It is a pleasure to practice with her.

Lauras Thai Yoga sessions are AMAZING! For years Ive been plagued with back problems and the only thing I can really do to combat the degeneration issue is to keep moving and increase flexibility. After every session I am left feeling rejuvenated and more limber. If you experience any mobility or flexibility issues, especially Id highly recommend a Thai Yoga session!

Recently, a group of friends and I went to Armentality for a Girls Night Out party and it was AWESOME! Laura (the owner) was very flexible with scheduling--trying to find a day and time that meets a group of 10s needs is no easy feat! When we got there, Laura was waiting for us and she was very gracious. Once we arrived, most of us admitted that dancing and staying on rhythm was a challenge. Laura assisted us with identifying a routine that would fit our needs--it was fun, eclectic, and semi-easy enough for us. As she led us through the routine, Laura felt like a friend and we had never laughed so hard or had so much fun! Yet, by the end, she had our group looking quite good! We had ladies ranging in age from 25 to 55 and we all had a blast!! Laura even took pictures and videos for us! We will definitely be going back! If you want to have the most fun youve had in a while with your girls, while also doing something healthy, Armentality is the way to go!!

Laura is very knowledgable about what she does. She explained to me about the art and science of Thai Yoga Massage before the massage. I had an incredible experience, and my body feels less tense.

What started out as a New Years resolution in 2016 has become my permanent Monday night routine. Lauras restorative yoga class is the perfect way to relax and unwind - to ease into the work week.

I recently attended her yoga for the skeptical man class. I was very impressed with her teaching style knowledge, and skill. I not only learned the fundamentals of yoga, but also a deeper appreciation for what it is to be a Yogi. Thank you Laura for the training and experience. I highly recommend Armentality for any type of dance or movement training.

Today was my first time experiencing Thai Yoga Therapy and I’m so glad it was with Laura of Armentality! Laura is a delightful person and has a way of putting you at ease. I left the session feeling very relaxed and Laura also sent me with practical tips and stretches that I can easily do at home. This is self-care at its finest.

Laura is an incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and intuitive Thai massage practitioner! She was able to find my stress points & work them out. Afterwards, she discussed with me those areas with suggestions of how to keep my body in tune. I highly recommend her & will go back.

As a total novice with dancing, I have enjoyed and learned much under Laura’s teaching and modeling of global dance moves and routines. She is so passionate about her art and encourages everyone to perform to their highest ability. It is always fun...plus it is a great workout. Equally fun and challenging are the yoga routines and the Thai Yoga therapy. I highly recommend Armentality Movement Arts Center to students of all ages and abilities....

Laura Armenta just gave me an amazing 2 hour Thai-Yoga massage. It was the best Thai massage Ive ever received! Laura showed throughout the massage that she was talented and very knowledgeable about her craft. I highly recommend her masssage.

Laura is great! My fiancé and I went to her to have her choreograph our first dance and she did a great job! She was very good at matching the flow of the song we chose and our talent (which was very minimal!) to make a beautiful dance. Would highly recommend for all of you looking to do something different for your first dance!

I wish there were more stars because Armentality Movement Arts Center is the best place to get happy, healthy, and fit! After over 2 years of consistently going to Armentality, Ive tried all her classes (the dance ones are my favorite) and have seen the positive changes in my life physically and emotionally. I have so much more confidence in myself and my posture has improved!If youre looking for a fun way to work out, definitely check out the variety of dance classes offered. You will feel like a professional dancer in a supportive environment without the pressure of perfection, and dancing is a great way to express yourself and/or destress during the week!If youre looking for a calmer sense of balance, there are yoga classes appropriate for all levels. If youre new to yoga, try the restorative class!Whatever you are into--dance, yoga, fitness--and whatever experience level you have, Laura Armenta has the expertise to guide you safely into the world of movement!Seriously, the best movement classes Ive ever taken.

This is a one stop shop for the dancer in all of us. Not only have I been able to dabble in a variety of dance styles like belly dance, contemporary, bollywood, salsa, and hip hop, its a place for yoga and fitness classes. I have seen all shapes, sizes, and abilities within the classes, and never felt uncomfortable or judged. Laura Armenta has the skill, expertise, and passion and loves to share it. This is a great place to go to experience and enjoy dance, especially if you thought youd never be able to try something so unique without already having the skills instilled in you since childhood. Armentality gives the opportunity to us adults to embrace the art of dancing.

Laura Armenta is a wonderful dancer, talented choreographer, and gifted teacher. I have been a student in her contemporary dance class on Tuesdays for over 3 years. She is gifted enough to encourage and improve your dance ability whether you have never danced before or want to dance at a professional level. Her Femmes World Jam class ( Saturdays at 11) features a variety of dance styles and is welcoming to those of us getting older and wiser. Her students are fun, creative people of all ages 18+.Come check us out!-Deborah Hoskins
