For Laura, yoga is not simply a practice; it is a way of meeting life. Her understanding has been shaped by decades of lived experience, personal challenge, healing, and a lifelong search for deeper truth. 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.  She learned early that accepted beliefs are not always true. These experiences nurtured a questioning mind, an open heart, and a profound respect for the resilience of the human spirit.

 

From her mother’s journey with natural healing following a cancer diagnosis soon after Laura birth, Laura learned that wellbeing is not merely the absence of illness but a relationship with the whole of life—body, mind, emotions, nature, and spirit. This understanding became the foundation of her own path.

 

After arriving in England as a single mother in the 1980s, Laura was drawn to traditional yoga and Vedanta philosophy, where she discovered teachings that echoed what life itself had already begun to reveal: that peace cannot be found by controlling the world around us, but by understanding ourselves more deeply. A serious motorbike accident later reinforced this wisdom, transforming yoga from a personal interest into a practical pathway for healing, recovery, and self-discovery.

 

For more than two decades, Laura has shared these insights through her teaching. While her classes improve strength, balance, flexibility, and wellbeing, students often discover something more enduring — a different relationship with themselves. Through movement, breath, meditation, and awareness, Laura encourages people to slow down, listen to their bodies, question limiting beliefs, and reconnect with an inner steadiness that is often lost in the busyness of modern life.

 

Today, more than 100 students attend her yoga and meditation classes each week. They are drawn not only by her knowledge and experience, but by her ability to help people feel seen, supported, and capable of change. Her teaching reflects a simple yet profound understanding: that life becomes richer when we meet it with awareness, and that true wellbeing arises when body, mind, heart, and spirit are brought into harmony.

 

As Laura often reminds her students, growth is not about becoming someone different. It is about remembering who we are beneath the habits, fears, and stories that life has placed upon us.
