The Bandhas
Unlocking the power of the Vagus nerve
The Bandhas are a key technique for hatha yogis, detailed in the 15th Century text Hatha Yoga Pradipika. Here we explore the traditional use of the bandhas as a physical technique and as a tool for pranayama; alongside a more current investigation of the bandhas as a way to manage the nervous system through the vagus nerve according to polyvagal theory from Stephen Porges.

I share an evidence based approach to yoga, based on the current research into body and mind. This is integrated with yogic wisdom and a trauma sensitive framework. My teaching style has evolved over the last 30+ years of practice and 20+ years of teaching.
My asana teaching and practice is playful and creative. I weave elements from many traditions together. Yoga has always been based on truth and this gives us ways to integrate movement science, pain science and neurology. I share yoga as a way to move from self-limiting beliefs, and to find greater ease in this life, through acceptance of ourselves and each other.
"Laura strikes the balance beautifully between profundity and humour. If you want to experience the true meaning of yoga this is the teacher for you." recent trainee, Lesley-Ann Eaton.
