Laura, certified Hatha and Vinyasa yoga teacher, Utrecht

Hi, I’m Laura,

a certified Hatha and Vinyasa yoga teacher.

I hold a deep belief that yoga is for every body. Awareness, intention and the quiet courage to know yourself a little better are the most important things you can cultivate. After all, what we practise on the mat is always preparation for what happens beyond it: the steadiness, the curiosity, the compassion.

It is all about love, really 🧡. For ourselves and for each other.

I teach yoga as a practice of awareness that begins with the body and extends into everything else. As a genuine sense of presence in our own bodies. The pose is the vehicle. The awareness is the point.

I care deeply about alignment — not as an aesthetic, but as a feeling. That particular balance between effort and ease that makes you feel grounded and open at the same time. I guide you toward feeling a little brighter, a little lighter, a little more like yourself.

My classes are for everyone. Whether you need detailed instruction to feel fully supported, prefer to find your own rhythm within a structure, or simply want inspiration and encouragement, there is a place for you here.

What other people say:

  • Yoga can be totally different depending on the teacher, and Laura’s class was a good mix of calming and challenging. She had me using muscles I didn’t know I had. And I felt so good after.

    — Milad

  • Laura created such a welcoming and supportive environment from the very first class. She took the time to understand my needs, offered gentle guidance and provided thoughtful alternatives throughout. Her attentiveness to each individual really stood out. Her natural ability is clear.

    — Alison

  • I am quite new to yoga, but had a great vinyasa yoga lesson, which was tougher than I expected. Laura made it very approachable by giving good adjustments in my posture, as well as in the flow itself. I felt very seen for that.

    From the session itself, I liked the flowy movements the most. The best thing was that I was very stressed and busy in my head beforehand and Laura got me to lower from my head into my body in no time!

    Laura is so sweet, knowledgeable and inspiring! She is a very caring and professional yoga teacher, with a lot of knowledge about what yoga is. Next time, I am going to try her hatha yoga session. I am very curious what that will look and feel like.

    — Nando

  • My yoga sessions with Laura have been nothing short of amazing! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Laura’s patience and attentiveness made all the difference. She really took the time to focus on me and my needs as a beginner.

    The first session was beautifully structured, allowing me to learn the basics while also encouraging me to push my limits gently. By the end of the class, I felt significantly more relaxed. It was a transformative experience.

    — Adrianna

  • Laura's yoga comes with a kind of peace of mind that doesn't feel forced. The poses challenge you but without overexerting yourself. If you are unable to do certain poses she takes care to give you an alternative or make it a little easier for you. Altogether a great way to work on both your body and your mind.

    — Rooz

  • My boyfriend and I did a root chakra yoga session with Laura and it honestly felt really special. From the start, she created a very calm and safe atmosphere. Laura gave super helpful alignment tips throughout, which made it easy to really get into the poses without overthinking.

    I also loved all the small details: she brought things like lavender and incense, and you could tell everything was thought through to match the root chakra theme. It made the whole experience feel very intentional rather than just a regular yoga class.

    After the session, I genuinely felt more grounded and more in touch with my roots. It stayed with me even after, which I think says a lot.

Where this comes from 

Yoga found me 7 years ago. I didn't always show up perfectly for it, but it always showed up for me. It kept calling me back. Eventually, I committed fully and flew to One Bhakti in Sri Lanka, for a 200-hour teaher training.

There, our teachers took the whole person seriously: the poses and anatomy, as well as the breath, the nervous system and the quality of attention you bring to your day. In February 2026, I came back a Hatha and Vinyasa teacher with a profound appreciation for how a thoughtful yoga practice can genuinely change the way you inhabit your life. And I've been deepening that practice ever since.

For me, yoga has been a path toward wholeness. A slow realisation of what I am, how I am, and why. It has taught me to look outward and inward with equal honesty, to expand my awareness and to honour the control I do have over my reality. Day by day, a little closer to the Truth.

That is the practice I bring to my teaching and the one I invite you into.

Desk to Flow

Yoga & mobility for startup teams

Energy & focus reset · Desk back & neck pain release · Stress resilience · Decision making clarity

  • Sitting at a desk for hours compresses the hips, tightens the shoulders and drains focus. Workplace mobility sessions counteract exactly that: improving posture, reducing tension and giving the team a genuine mental reset, so they can bring their best selves to work.

  • A 30/60 minute guided session is done in your office or meeting room, in regular clothes and is accessible to all fitness levels and adaptable to any space. Mats are optional. You can seamlessly slot this in as a lunchtime session or a mid-afternoon break - whenever your team needs a focus boost.

  • Both options exist. A single session works well as a team event or perk. A recurring bi-weekly program is where the real benefits start to compound: less fatigue, better posture, stronger team culture.
