About Laura:
Laura’s journey into Yoga started in 2002 and typically focused on Asanas (the physical aspect of the practice). Seeking out a place to practice in each country that she lived in, from Thailand to Honduras, she began to develop an awareness and appreciation of the inner peace that Yoga ultimately brings to your life.
In 2008 she travelled to India where she completed her first teacher training course in the Sivananda ashram, in Kerala, where she would eventually stay for eight months-an experience that opened her to the study of scriptures, Kiran and Karma Yoga, as well as teaching Asana.
Her belief that as teachers we must continually evolve and learn, once again led her to Mysore, India in 2009 and this was where, in June 2011, she completed her Ashtanga Yoga training with her teacher Ajay Kumar. This included an in-depth study of the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga system as well as learning safe adjustment techniques for students at all levels of practice. She now returns yearly to continue her development as she practises and assists Ajay in his teacher trainings.
She has also studied Pranayama and Mudra with BNS Iyengar, and practices with Stewart Gilchrist when in London. She completed her FRC training in London in March 2020 and her Kinstretch in 2021. Laura’s experience is reflected in her ability to fuse the philosophical teachings of yoga into movement, making it retable and relevant for all levels of practioneer.
After starting her training and teaching in India from Jan 2008 until August 2011, Laura settled in Dubai in September 2011. She taught studio classes at Zen Yoga until 2021, and then taught at Matcha Padel Club from October 2021 until Jan 2023.
She now lives in Southern Spain but continues her offerings with weekly online classes, workshops and worldwide retreats, as well as twice yearly trainings.
Giving Thanks:
I would like to thank my Guruji Ajay Kumar for sparking a light inside me, for sharing his knowledge with me year after year, for dispelling the doubt and the dark that I sometimes allow to creep in, and for granting me the possibility to spread the lineage further.
