Our Studio
Aruna Yoga…
It all started with a dream of creating a purpose-built yoga studio in a quiet, calm setting where students could practice yoga in a peaceful environment and get away from it all. 12 months after the dream and lots of hard work, I like to think that we have created something special, where students will really feel relaxed and can come and enjoy yoga in a place designed specifically for yoga practice.
The studio is in a rural setting, surrounded by trees and wildlife. In the mornings, you can feel the sun flooding in through the windows and in the eveinings, on a crystal clear winter’s evening, you can look out at the stars - all from the comfort of the warm studio.
We love it. We hope you do too.
Aruna Yoga Academy
After years of teaching, doing advanced teacher trainings and learning, Laura had the itch to share her knowledge. She has a background in training her past life and had thoughts, opinions (a lot of them!) and knowledge to share.
Aruna Yoga Academy is the Yoga Teacher Training leg of Aruna Yoga. It is a Centre of Excellence in Yoga Teacher Training.
Laura is passionate that yoga is for everybody - and unfortunately not every teacher training gives yoga teachers the skills to adapt and adjust a yoga class to suit everybody, and so Laura knew she had to create a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training that was different - one that was routed in Embodied Somatic Principles, one that emphasised functional anatomy, one that looked beyond the alignment of the poses and one that had a family/life friendly schedule - and that’s exactly what she did!
As the years passed she started training yoga teachers in her specialties - Embodied Somatic Yoga, Chair Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Yoga for Teens.
Laura firmly believes in teaching from experience and so every training she creates combines science, theories but most importantly the things she learnt from teaching. Laura loves constantly learning and developing.
