Yoga for living in a human body
Yoga for awareness, not just physical exercise
Learn something about yourself in practice that you can take into life.
I’m not really interested in yoga as a fitness regimen. I’m interested in yoga as a practice for becoming more aware, and that awareness starts in the body.
I teach as I live: through a poetic lens, noticing the connections between bodies and place.
Yoga isn’t about movement, but movement can be yoga.
Yoga isn’t about stillness, but stillness can be yoga.
Have you ever sat completely still in a daydream, deeply immersed in a distant memory? Have you found yourself in shavasana, thinking about what you will eat for dinner?
That’s not yoga!
But have you ever run along a forest track at daybreak, or played a game of beach frisbee, watching the coloured disc descend from above in slow motion, your breath, the frisbee and the sky becoming one?
Yoga isn’t running or frisbee, but running or frisbee can be yoga.
I’m Laura, writer and yoga therapist with a background in nursing and public health.
I pay attention to what it means to be a human body in a particular place, and I use yoga, writing and embodied practice to explore that.
I teach yoga classes and workshops, and I write Words & Yoga, a monthly memoir-style letter about how we move through the world and what it means to inhabit a human body.
Words & Yoga
It’s free to read and arrives on the first Saturday of every month.
If you’d like to support my writing you can become a paid subscriber. You’ll also receive a 45-minute companion practice each month. It’s a way of taking the month’s theme off the page and into the body.

"
There is always hope, there is always a future. By sheer coincidence I found myself participating in a yoga group that teaches yoga without actually teaching!”
"I like the playful relaxed atmosphere. Laura is very down to earth and relaxed, and she has a sense of humor."
