Let’s be honest about the purely physical side of yoga.

Sweating through a strong flow, building core strength, and feeling that physical post-workout high is an incredible feeling. 🤸‍♂️✨

But here is the uncomfortable truth that modern fitness culture tends to skip over:

Yoga was never meant to be just another gym workout.

When we treat the mat as a purely physical checklist to burn calories or tone muscle, we are only scratching the surface.

True, lasting physical health and deep mental clarity don’t happen by just moving the body faster.

They happen when we learn how to slow down, link the movement to traditional breathwork, and sit with the discomfort of a quiet mind.

Quicker, faster, instant-dopamine habits teach our brains to avoid discomfort. But true physical mastery and deep mental clarity only happen when we learn how to slow down, breathe through the frustration, and trust the process of a traditional lineage.

At our studio, we love the strong, dynamic, physical challenges of Vinyasa. But we infuse it with authentic philosophy, safe alignment and energetic meaning.

We build the foundations first so your practice lasts for the next ten years, not just the next ten seconds.

In our age, we’re getting more honest, and so is our Yoga Teacher Training program.

We believe that you don’t need to put your life on hold or escape to a sunny island to get a proper yoga education. Real practice is about learning how to anchor yourself right in the middle of everyday life.

That is why this training is structured to fit around busy UK schedules. We meet face-to-face inside our studio for 15 intensive days, spread out across deliberate blocks between June and August.

Not a single minute of your studio time is wasted.
By taking 30 hours of Anatomy & Physiology online at your own pace, our time together in the room is entirely interactive and focused on the real craft of teaching.

We won’t be sitting in a circle reading passively from a manual. I don’t teach from scripts, and I won’t expect you to memorise one either.

Instead, we dive deep into: Patanjali’s yoga, subtle body energetics, and the science of Vinyasa Krama. You will learn how to read the energy of a room—recognising when students are heavy or scattered—and use physical movement and subtle body practices to help shift them into pure clarity.

It’s a funny thing—historically, many people have joined my trainings saying they have absolutely no intention of ever teaching. But by the time they graduate, they are out there running their very own classes. Not because they had to, but because they become so quietly confident and inspired by the material that they simply couldn’t wait to share it.

The 2027 Dates:

▽ June 2nd: Orientation Week—Setting the Foundation
▽ June 9th–13th: Opening Week Immersion—5 days of deep Philosophy & Alignment
▽ June 26th–27th, July 10th–11th, July 24th–25th: The Integration Weekends—3 blocks of Refining your Voice, Cueing, and Teaching Mechanics
▽ August 5th–8th: Closing Week—4 days of final live Teaching and Graduation

The Logistics:

Applications are open which means, interest-free monthly payment plans are available to help you spread the investment comfortably across the next 10 months.

Our first dedicated student has already secured their space and I’m keeping the group intentionally small, so spaces are genuinely limited.

Are you ready? Let’s go

2026 Portugal Abundance Yoga Retreat

This one was special.
In ways words and images will never explain.

I’ve been fortunate enough to teach retreats for 9 years, leading my own for 8, and they never disappoint.

I never tire of connecting with like minded souls who are curious about yoga and that say yes to life.

In words of one my Abundance Retreat yogis, “just 6 days in this immersive experience has felt better than months of therapy. It’s pure medicine for the soul”.

Next year we are returning, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Sometimes, the practice of yoga calls us back to the ultimate truth: simplicity is where true abundance lives. 💫✨

It is so easy to get caught up in the pressure of life, the doings and must haves. But this week, my heart has been flooded with reminders of why I started teaching ten years ago, especially being here in Portugal on my annual Abundance Retreat ✨

In yoga philosophy, we talk about Lakshmi,
the goddess of abundance, beauty, and light.

She doesn’t show up in a packed schedule.
She shows up in the sacred, simple things.

She is in the sound of collective laughter
filling the room before practise starts.
She is in the deep, lifelong friendships
born on adjacent mats.
She is in the quiet exhale of a student
finally letting their guard down in savasana.

Over the last few days, my inbox has been overflowing with replies from our lovely community booking their spots to come back to the mat after a break.

Trust, connection, and shared energy, that is true wealth.

We don’t need a complicated, fast-paced life to feel full. We just need a space to slow down, move together, and remember how much we already have.

The studio is ready for you this week with the lovely Lou covering our Monday evenings classes tonight while I lead my annual Abundance retreat in Portugal this week and I’ll be back this Saturday for class at 9am.

I’m also going to be releasing my retreats for 2027 this week so if you want VIP access before anyone else, DM me your email address and you’ll get special access ✨🙏🏽

And ps…Lakshmi is right here, if you’re willing to see her.

Listen we get it.
Life is full on cra’ right now.

Heatwave.
School holidays.
Tighter pockets.

And getting enlightened is probably
the last thing on your priority list 😮‍💨

We all know that summer will be over quicker
than you can say one-hundred-and-eight-sun-salutations backwards so…

…we are just a yoga studio standing in
front of a yoga student asking them to love us 🫣

So here’s our proposal.
No strings.
No messy break-ups.
No triangles.

Just a Summer Fling to help you get back
on track and prioritise yourself for a hot second. 🙌🏽

2 months. 10 classes. £108 (£10.80 a class)
To make it easy on the pocket, it splits into
two monthly payments of £54.

But seriously.
If life has been chaotic of late and you’re in
need of a kick up the bum to get
yourself back on track, consider this your
cue to ‘engage your glutes’ and get back to your mat.

10 dates with yourself.
Your non-negotiable.
A summer fling
Where you’re end up heart open
not heart broken (last pun I promise 😂)

🔒 The Studio Rules:
To keep our space beautifully calm and spacious, I’m strictly capping this offer at 20 spaces (and 3 of them have already gone 🫢)

⏰ The offer ends at 9pm on Friday 31st July.
Whether you’re joining us for your free HOME class this week, or locking in your Summer Fling, we cannot wait to see you.

📲 Want in? Comment FLING below and I’ll DM the private booking link straight to your inbox! (Or click the link in our bio to grab yours now)

Can’t wait to see you soon 🙏🏽

The studio is feeling like a sunny sanctuary this week. 🌞 🧘‍♀️🌺

If your summer days have been a bit hectic, or your usual routine has gone out the window, your mat is right here waiting for you.

Taking just 60 minutes for yourself to breathe, move, and reset is the ultimate act of self-care right now.

We have a few spaces left on the schedule for this coming weekend.

Can’t wait to see you in the studio!

It’s real.
It’s honest.

it can also change your life.

Smṛti {remembering}

This month’s theme at Yoga Love is smṛti ~ often translated as remembering.

It’s not about remembering
facts or information.
But remembering something
much, much deeper.

Yoga suggests that so much
of our suffering comes not
because something is missing,
but because we’ve forgotten.

We’ve forgotten the steadiness
that’s still here beneath the busy mind.

We’ve forgotten that peace
isn’t something we have to earn.

We’ve forgotten that our worth
isn’t measured by productivity,
achievement or other people’s approval.

Practice isn’t about
becoming someone new.

It’s about gently remembering
who we already are beneath the noise.

Every time you step onto your mat,
pause for a breath, or simply notice
what’s happening within you
without trying to change it,
you’re practising remembrance.

Not adding.
Not fixing.
Just returning.
Over and over again.

It also gently reminds us
that even when we have an
absence from our practice,
we’re only ever one moment
away from returning.

If life recently has been well and
truly ‘life-ing’ and you’ve
been away from your mat
here’s your gentle reminder
that it’s only ever just one breath away.

Last year we gathered for a day dedicated to supporting yoga teachers.

The conversations we shared, the questions that were asked, and the sense of connection in the room were so inspiring. It reminded me that qualifying as a teacher isn’t the end of our learning. It’s just the beginning.

Teaching can be such a rewarding path, but it can also feel surprisingly isolating. So often we’re holding space for everyone else, navigating challenges on our own, and trying to figure things out as we go. Over time, that can lead to self-doubt, disconnection and even burnout. I truly believe we teach best when we feel supported ourselves and come together in community.

It was from those conversations, and the shared need for connection, that the Teachers Room continued to evolve.

This August, we’re gathering again.

Quarterly Gatherings are an opportunity for yoga teachers to come together to reconnect with their practice, continue learning, ask questions, share experiences, and feel supported and seen by a community that understands the path.

Each Gathering has its own theme.
Our first is Hands-on Assists.

An afternoon of practical exploration, discussion and confidence building, with plenty of space to learn from one another.

The afternoon can also be logged as 4 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Whether you’re already part of the Teachers Room, or joining us for the first time, you’d be so welcome🤍

The Teachers Room // Quarterly Gathering

🗓 Sunday 2nd August
🕐 12–4pm
📍 Yoga Love Collective, Darwen

△ Teachers Room Members: £25
△ Non-members: £55

Places can now be purchased on our schedule via the website 🙏🏽

I can’t wait to gather with you and continue growing something really magical.

Laura 🤍
