💜 Meet team member Laura - Shine Bright Yoga
Hi, I’m Laura! I am a mum of 2, yoga teacher and complementary therapist. I have a particular passion for supporting women and families through my pregnancy yoga, mum and baby yoga and postnatal classes, along with general yoga for all.
I have practiced yoga for over 20 years and set up my business Shine Bright Yoga 9 years ago after moving to Chester following the birth of my first child. Becoming a mother has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. My yoga practice gives me balance and it always amazes me how much longer the benefits last ‘off the mat’.
Apart from the obvious benefits of improved flexibility and relaxation, yoga has helped me stay grounded, improved my sleep and my ability to better cope with the challenges of life and motherhood.
My core teacher trainings have been with the wonderful Katy Appleton - apple yoga (240 YA hatha & vinyasa flow, 95 hr pre and postnatal yoga), Anna Ashby (Restorative yoga); Sarah Lo (yin); Birthlight (baby yoga, postnatal yoga, Aquanatal yoga); Rainbow kids (kids yoga); Chair yoga.
My pregnancy yoga classes provide a welcoming space for mums to be to connect, learn stability exercises, breathing and relaxation techniques to support the body and mind through pregnancy and prepare for labour. They are suitable for all mums to be with no previous yoga experience necessary.
My mum and baby yoga classes are fun, playful and interactive. The classes include movements for baby that aid overall development, sleep and digestion. They also include gentle yoga for mum and social time. A friendly and welcoming space to bond with baby and meet other mums and babies.
When you are ready to attend a class away from baby I have a monthly mums yoga class, mini retreats and general yoga classes plus fun family yoga sessions.
