About Laura

Laura has a great appreciation of yoga’s importance in living a spiritual life. Her life is rich in experiential wisdom having grown up in the 60s to 80s in Africa in a Black and white family when it was against the law. Crossing race lines led to her imprisonment at age 15. These experiences enriched her questioning of all that is given as ‘truth’.

Laura life is about working with nature to heal, her mother was diagnosed with cancer at her birth in the 60s. Her mother followed a natural approach to healing, outliving all expectations and shared this journey with Laura which included meditation, yoga, and other spiritual practices alongside a healthy diet.

Laura came to England in the 1980s as a single mother with a passionate desire to change the world. She was attracted to Greenham Peace Camp where she met Swami Ambikananda. Laura began to realise a spiritual path was changing the world and yoga was a revolutionary act. Swami Ambikananada introduced her to Traditional yoga and Vedanta ancient books of knowledge on yoga. Then in 1996, Laura had a serious motorbike accident. Yoga became pivotal/central in her taking responsibility for her own recovery and future.


Laura completed her training in 2006 and since teaches the over 50’s in a community setting, runs her own private classes and one to one. Currently, over 100 students attend her yoga and meditation classes each week. She regularly trains to widen her experience of yoga.

Laura plans yoga retreats and day retreats in the UK and worldwide which will include an African Game reserve. She is a trained Bowen therapist and appreciates the interconnectedness of the body. Laura will again be participating in the World yoga festival to share her wisdom.


Quote from Laura:


“Any Yoga posture if done with awareness, without a struggle, without an ego, can release patterns fixed in our muscles and in ourselves that keep us captivated mentally and physically.”

What my clients say...

“Laura is a genuine person who thrives on helping you progress at your own pace, a rare find. She goes out of her way to improve your quality of life.”

“I was lucky enough to find Laura as a yoga teacher over a year ago at Open Age in Pimlico. She teaches a ladies group there twice a week and is very popular and well-liked by her pupils. Not only is Laura an extremely proficient teacher, she makes the lessons fun and varied as well. She takes particular care to demonstrate the exercises well and to help people achieve them safely and correctly. I am finding all the exercises that we do very beneficial and can certainly feel my flexibility and overall well-being improving. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Laura as a yoga teacher.”

Mandy - Student

“I loved the whole day retreat (even lunch) but I especially enjoyed the Yoga Nidra (Release). I love that Laura lets us go at our own pace.”

Diana - Student

“I am the Honorary Treasurer of the BBC Club’s Yoga Section, and Laura has taught our two regular classes for the last couple of years, having been personally recommended by our previous teacher. Laura is a lovely person with an approachable manner and an appealing style of teaching traditional yoga. She will always tailor a class to the level of the students and is careful to find out if anyone has an injury or health issue that would preclude particular postures. Laura is very reliable and always turns up as expected, even when at times BBC security can make this rather difficult! I have no hesitation in recommending Laura as a friendly professional Yoga teacher.”

Graham Wood - Honorary Treasurer of the BBC Club’s Yoga Section

“Laura is a talented compassionate teacher, I have been following her classes for 10 years her teaching is deep, brings to the students serenity and awareness, is also fun. I strongly recommend her classes, especially to total beginner so they will have a nice introduction to yoga.”

Sara

“I really enjoy the classes! There is a different focus for each class and all levels are catered for. I can't stretch enough how important it is to have individual approach. I have done yoga for long time and it always amazes me how many particularly new students often approach it as an exercise and without a guided approach this leads to injuries. So having Laura's experience is paramount to all students progressing at their own level. Of course you get the physical benefit out of it too, but the mind must come first.”

Gabi


“Laura has a great attitude, is genuinely out to help people. If you looking to learn Yoga or if you are suffering from any type of pain, I recommend you call her. Well done Laura - Wishing you lot's of success!”

Ahmed

“Authentic yoga teacher for all abilities highly recommend Laura. Try these classes they help us grasp what yoga can really offer us physically mentally and spiritually. Laura is a highly experienced teacher.”
