(43 reviews)Hi, my name is Laura. I teach mostly mindful flow classes, breathwork and meditation. I believe time on the mat can give us the opportunity to get to know ourselves better, to move and feel better and to have a little time to refocus and reconnect in an otherwise hectic world.
I teach with a combination of alignment details, options and the space to explore.. playing with a dynamic balance of clear instructions and the space to feel the poses and the breath.
My classes build strength & mobility and are friendly, welcoming and open to all - just come as you are.

Hope to meet you soon! X

🔆 Private classes available - 1:1 or with family/friends.
A great way to practice and progress at your own pace with customised classes. You'll have direct real-time support from me - ask me all your questions :)

Awesome class - exactly what I needed this morning with a great ratio of challenge to relaxation.
As always, Laura did a fantastic job of guiding me through a sequence that built up some heat and strength, but balanced it with keeping a focus on breath, mindful movement and playfulness! Thank you Laura!

Some people teach yoga, and then there are teachers like Laura, who truly embody everything yoga is about.
For the past two years, I've had the privilege of learning from Laura, and I can honestly say she has transformed not only my practice but also my understanding of yoga. Her knowledge is extraordinary, yet she shares it with such humility, warmth, and genuine care that every class feels like a gift.
I've had my fair share of injuries and physical difficulties over the years, and there were times I wondered if certain things would ever be possible for me. Laura never saw limitations—only possibilities. With her incredible understanding of the body, she's always found ways to adapt and guide me safely, helping me progress in ways I never thought I could. She has an amazing ability to know exactly when to encourage, when to challenge, and when to simply remind you to trust the process.
What I love most is that Laura teaches yoga as it was always meant to be taught. Every class is about so much more than the poses. She brings yoga philosophy, history, breathwork, and mindfulness into each practice so naturally that you leave not only feeling physically stronger but mentally calmer and more connected. There's always something to reflect on, and somehow her words seem to stay with you long after you've rolled your mat away.
Laura has created a space where everyone feels welcome, supported, and accepted exactly as they are. Her passion is infectious, and it's impossible not to leave her classes feeling mentally lighter, physically stronger, and grateful.
Thank you, Laura, for the last two years of patience, wisdom, encouragement, and inspiration. I genuinely couldn't ask for a better teacher, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found you - I look forward to continuing learning from you.
If you're considering practising with Laura, don't hesitate—you'll be learning from someone truly exceptional.

Excellent workshop today where Laura really took the time to talk up through some poses that I find particularly challenging giving helpful tips and advice throughout that has made it so much more achievable! I loved her explaining the background and mythology behind the poses too! Her instruction, as usual, is second to none! Thank you Laura!

I've been attending Laura's classes for a month now, and I absolutely love them. The morning sessions leave me feeling energized and ready to start my day, while the evening sessions help me unwind and sleep better. The time flies by in every class, and the practice is a great balance of movement and strength-building. I truly enjoy every session and always look forward to the next one!
