Hello 😊
If you have just found me, it is so wonderful to meet you. I am Laura Nicholson, teaching inclusive Yoga classes in Suffolk.
When I say inclusive, I mean it. I welcome every type of body into my classes. Yoga for All isn’t just a slogan for me, it’s the heart of what I do.
Yoga isn't one size fits all
If traditional yoga spaces mostly serve the fit and able, then we’re missing a huge part of the population, and I believe every body should experience the benefits of Yoga.
I have hugely benefited from the impact yoga has had on my mental wellbeing and want to share that magic with others. I completed my 200 hours Yoga Teacher Training in 2020, while on maternity leave with my first child, so I could impact the wellbeing of a diverse community through an adaptive style of yoga.
I’ve taken the time to learn the skills needed to support those with chronic pain conditions, limited mobility, and even wheelchair users. I am able to guide those in bigger bodies through a practice based on comfort rather than strain. And, I have studied children's yoga, working with SEND and getting out into the homes of people not able to come to a group class.
meeting the needs of a diverse community
My classes are a beautiful mix of people with different stories, looking for ease, calm, or strength through yoga and their needs are all being accommodated.
I absolutely love introducing yoga to complete beginners, showing them that they are capable of 'doing' yoga. It isn't about performance, abilities or how zen you present yourself to be. It's about learning the skills to adapt to every day life. I know that what our bodies and minds are capable of can change from one day to the next. Our limits, comfort, and energy shift constantly, and I believe yoga should always meet us where we are at.
My goals for bettering people health doesn't stop on my doorstep. Anyone can access my teaching for free on YouTube and get weekly classes via an affordable online membership through Patreon.
Everyone has the opportunity to seek a sense of belonging and enhance their quality of life through yoga.
Come join me 💚
