Yoga with Laura Grace
Laura Grace teaches in a way that encourages you to develop your own yoga practice. That empowers you to practice on your own and liberates you from the confines of only going to a yoga class. Taking time to explain the fundamentals of a yoga practice such as the breathing elements, the Bandha, the drishti. The real magic happens when you apply the synchronisation of all of these aspects to the movements. Taking time to go over the details and explain the reasons behind them, you will leave with a sense of purpose and a new understanding of how and why we move the way that we do.
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.....
After nearly 14 years of practice, Laura Grace left the Ashtanga Vinyasa 'label' of practicing yoga. Still following the method and sequence but as set out by her inner teacher and not an external one. After the Ashtanga world was rocked, after injuring herself over and over by trying to force a method that did not work for her body, after being hurt by adjustments that worked against her body and not with it, after giving her authority away one too many times..... she left. Quietly and contently. She went her own way......
When she realised that you can still keep practicing and following what you believe in. When she realised it was her practice and no-one else's. When she understood that she knew her body and what was going on with it better than any other teacher. When she reclaimed her yoga practice exactly as it was....She finally realised that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.....
Laura Grace is now a certified non-traditional, non-dogmatic, non rule orientated leader of her own yoga... and she teaches people to do the same. To BE their own teacher.
Black Lotus Yoga
The black lotus flower is a symbol of the rebellious spirit, a symbol of the one who moves off on her own, who follows the path that opens up to her and refuses all pressures to conform. Her sole authority is the voice of her heart, and she follows that voice wherever it leads. This is how she stays aligned with her truth, and nurtures the unfoldment of her being—she relates to herself openly, in her own unique way, and she has her own dance with darkness. To do anything else, she knows, would be a betrayal to her soul.
Black is the color of sorrow, and the rebellious spirit knows sorrow intimately, for sorrow is the pith of human life, and that is what she eats for her nourishment. As the black lotus flower pulls the darkness up from the mud, and spreads it out upon its petals, so the rebellious spirit drinks deeply from the well. She allows the darkness to rise through her, and she holds it up to the light, where it shimmers with every color on the spectrum. In doing this soulful thing, she sustains a sense of her wholeness. There is nothing more natural to her being.
