“It takes discipline to be a free spirit.” Gabrielle Roth
Laura is a qualified Personal Trainer, Yoga Teacher and XTEND Barre Instructor. Originally from the UK, she moved to the Gold Coast in 2019 and is now here to stay! Graduating from The Lakshmi Rising School of Yoga in 2018, Barreworks in London in 2019 and XTEND Barre in 2020, she takes a holistic approach to movement and aims to make her students connect with their bodies, increase their confidence and remove self-limiting beliefs.
With a focus on form and alignment, Laura’s ethos is to create safe, fun and challenging practices for her students both in her Yoga and XTEND Barre classes. She believes that we all deserve to feel the best we possibly can but should aim for balance. Saying that it is what we do consistently that matters and that creating routine and ritual around our daily lives helps keep us focussed and encourages clarity.
