Yoga With Laura Marchetti

My aim as a Yoga teacher is to facilitate each student's personal Yoga journey. Anything I teach is adapted to suit and benefit the individual and I particularly enjoy the challenge (and rewards!) of working with students of different ages and abilities, including those with health conditions, limited mobility or injuries. The natural environment for this subtle, student centred approach is a small group or one-to-one setting, which is what my teaching has gradually evolved towards.

I teach a subtle form of Hatha Yoga, which is based on the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli. This is a gentle, yet very effective approach, as it uses the natural propensity of the body to move - and breathe - in certain ways, without imposing any forceful techniques. In other words, we try to restore natural body mechanics, rather than superimposing a system which might never remove the root causes of physical imbalances.

In this approach to Yoga, the Asanas (postures) are a means to an end, rather than the end.
