ABOUT LAURA


Laura’s teaching is rooted in the understanding that true wellness is not a fixed goal, but a living, evolving relationship — with the body, the mind, the Earth, our communities, and the environments we choose to inhabit. It’s a conscious, loving commitment grounded in kindness, discipline, honesty, respect, and passion.

Blending the depth of yoga, the precision of Pilates, and the insight of philosophy, Laura’s approach supports students in cultivating strength, clarity, and soulful connection — both on and off the mat.

She began her journey in 2009 with her first 200-hour yoga teacher training and has since immersed herself in thousands of hours of practice, study, and teaching across multiple disciplines. Today, she is the founder and lead trainer at Mahara Shala, home of her signature online Course Mastery of Alignment & 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training — a transformational journey designed to awaken depth, purpose, and embodied understanding in both aspiring and experienced teachers.

With over 1000 hours of advanced training and more than a decade of teaching experience, Laura draws from a rich tapestry of lineages and is deeply honoured to share the wisdom of her teachers through her classes, trainings, and mentorships.

 

A beacon for those craving a connection to this ancient tradition and timeless wisdom, Laura has anchored herself as a global teacher, mentor, practitioner, teacher trainer and workshop facilitator, writer and eternal student.

Renowned for her sold-out classes and flawless hands-on assists , Laura has contributed extensively to the Gold Coast Yoga Scene.

Lauras is considered a "teachers teacher" and has a passion for mentoring other teachers to advance their skills and refine their craft. Her exceptional hands-on and verbal assists are built upon a deep understanding of alignment of hours spent on her own mat which is evident throughout her classes and are the backbone of her signature offering "Master of Alignment ".
