Originally from Finland, Laura found yoga in her late teens after finishing her contemporary dance studies and fell in love with the strong, graceful, precise yet flowing movement of Ashtanga Yoga. She continued to practice this style on and off for many
years and in 2008 after moving to London, began practicing with Norman Blair.

It was Norman who first introduced her to Yin Yoga at one of his 3-hour workshops – the first
hour of which she remembers as being ‘agonisingly slow’.

With encouragement from her
teacher, Laura embarked on a 7-month Ashtanga Vinyasa & Yin Yoga Yoga Alliance
accredited 200hr training, with Norman & Melanie Cooper at Zolder Studio in London,
completing the course in November 2015, and has been teaching both Yin & Ashtanga
ever since in and around South East London and the City.
