Meet Laura: Children's Yoga Teacher at BEAM ACADEMY

About Laura

Hey everyone, I’m Laura! I’ve been teaching yoga to adults for three years now, and starting teaching to kids just over a year ago. I’ve studied trauma centred yoga approaches and am studying psychology to become a yoga therapist in the future. I’ve also studied English Literature and Creative Writing, so I’m a massive bookworm as well. Outside of my yoga worlds I mostly write and draw.

My favourite yoga pose is a tough one, but I think I would choose natarajasana, dancer pose. Because it makes me feel strong and combines a back bend and a balance which is always fun.

I have been practicing yoga for seven years now I think, I started after I left university and moved to Australia and I’ve never looked back.
