Anyone can practice yoga because the asanas (poses/ movements) are adaptable to all levels of fitness or flexibility. During a class I will demonstrate variations for many of the asanas to help you find the right level for your body to work at. I am happy to provide alternative postures if you need them.

Please let me know if you a suffering from any medical condition or injury, so I can adapt the practice to suit you. Most injuries or medical conditions will not prevent you from practicing yoga, although some asanas (poses/ movements) should be avoided in specific circumstances. I will provide alternative poses in these circumstances.(*)

Since we will be moving our bodies please wear something comfortable and non-restrictive such as shorts, leggings or loose/ stretchy trousers and a t-shirt, vest or similar. Natural fibres such as cotton tend to be less slippery, which can help you achieve a better posture in some asanas (poses/ movements). Most people prefer to practice barefoot but non-slip socks are a good alternative if you prefer. You may wish to bring warm clothes to wear during relaxation so you don't feel chilly.

Most people prefer to bring their own yoga mat, but I do have a limited number for my students to borrow. You may wish to bring your own blanket/ shawl or cushion to use during the relaxation but this is a personal preference.

Please feel free to bring a bottle of water with you to class and sip from it when you need to. It is better to take small sips than a large drink while you are practicing.

The key to effective yoga practice is to listen to your body at all times. As long as you are practicing mindfully yoga is safe for anyone to practice. As with any exercise it is possible to sustain injury during yoga practice. Never force your body into a position that is painful; pain is your body warning you to stop. If you ever experience pain during a class please let me know at once so I can adapt your practice to suit your body.

I am predominately based in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk, although I am open to enquiries regarding places nearby. I also provide One to One classes for those who want tailored sessions

My classes are currently held at Southgate Community Centre (map) and Hazelwood Dance Studios (map). Please see below for dates and times. For private classes please contact me for availability

"I joined Laura's yoga class to improve my flexibility and after only a few weeks I can feel a significant difference. This is particularly noticeable in my shoulders and neck, where I often store tension after spending too long sitting at the office desk. Laura gives clear guidance and so, although I had never done yoga before, I was able to join in all the poses from my first class.The classes are local, held at a convenient time and there's plenty of space to stretch out without tangling with class neighbours!"

"Great Results! Laura has been focusing on helping me build up my core strength due to my back problems. She designed a programme of exercises which she works through with me on a one to one basis. Since beginning working together I have felt much healthier both spiritually and mentally and my back problems have reduced greatly."

Namaste Yogis, My apologies for the continuing lack of classes. Until transmissions start dropping I don’t want to bring you all together in person, in an enclosed space. I would like to start teaching online, but we have had issues with a builder & I don’t currently have the space at home. Please join my email list if you wish to be emailed when classes are likely to start – contact me for a sign up link. Stay Safe in 2022, Laura Close This Message
