Laura Proppe 'Strong, Determined Woman' Teaches Yoga To Seniors

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY — Without community leaders, Rockville Centre wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions. This submission comes from Dawn Quaresima, who nominated Laura Proppe.

How do you know the community leader? Body & Brain Yoga and Tai Chi

What does the community leader do? Teaches health and wellness classes for senior citizens

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored? As a retiree in her 60's, Laura Proppe was losing her balance, strength, and vitality. She found the Body & Brain Yoga and TaiChi practice at a local library and was able to fully recover her health and sense of purpose. Ever since then, Laura, who is now 75 years old, has been dedicated to sharing the tools she received for her longevity and peace of mind with as many seniors as possible in churches, nursing homes, libraries, community centers, AARP meetings, health expos, and public parks!

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero? Laura Proppe is a strong and determined woman, dedicated to sharing her loving heart and bright spirit with as many senior citizens as she can meet!
