LAURA MATHESON

Yoga underviser

I primarily teach yin and restorative yoga, together with yoga nidra (often described as yogic sleep) — practices that have supported me in cultivating stillness and inner spaciousness for almost two decades. Over the years, these slow and attentive forms of yoga have become the ground I return to, both as a teacher and as a student of my own life.

My intention is always the same: to create a space where students can land, soften, and listen. I invite them to explore their own experience rather than strive for a particular shape, and to tune into what their bodies are quietly asking for. Each class is designed as a gentle refuge from the pace of the outside world, where props are welcomed, slowing down is encouraged, and being — truly being — is enough.

I first stepped onto a yoga mat in the late 90s, in the basement of a small church in Alberta, Canada. Since then, my mat has travelled with me from city to city and country to country. Across all the moves, changes, and reinventions, yoga has remained a constant — a safe haven that helps me reconnect with myself no matter where I am. It’s this sense of homecoming I love to share with others.
