Laura was a gymnast and dancer growing up so movement is embedded in her DNA. She started practicing yoga nearly 20 years ago, as a teenager when her dance teacher put on a yoga class (and insisted they all went along!). After resisting, she dove into a more regular practice in her early 20s. She loved how a challenging and creative class helped to focus the mind and how she felt after a practice.

After finding a teacher and class style she loved, Laura completed her 250hr training with Nikki Ralston in Auckland in 2018 and then over 2019 completed 4 additional 25hr weekend trainings in yin yoga, meditation, and advanced sequencing. As Laura dove deeper into the spiritual side of yoga, she found Classical Tantra and completed a Direct Realisation Training with Kara-Leah Grant.

Laura is a kiwi very new to Revelstoke and is excited to be teaching classes at Balu and the opportunity to learn from some incredibly experienced, knowledgeable and embodied teachers. If Laura’s not practicing, she’s enjoying a good flat white, cooking, or exploring the outdoors!
