Welcome to my passion. I’m so excited to share my thoughts and experience working with both the voice and yoga. As I start to share more on this topic I invite you to play along, try out some of the exercises and explore your voice. It’s a great way to release stress, learn some new skills and take hold of the power behind your breath and your voice.

My three legged dog and I have quite the exciting journey ahead!

I’m super happy to be heading back to Canada to teach Yoga AND Vocals at which is a white water rafting, yoga and glamping resort centre. For those who know me personally, you know this is a perfect fit for me… it’s almost comical.

I’ve decided to dive into my “niche” if you will, using Yoga (asanas and pranayama) or movement and breath work if you will to help strengthen the voice. These practices are aimed to help public speakers, performers, coaches, fitness instructors, and.. really anyone who what’s strengthen their voice, gain confidence and express themselves with a holistic vocal wellness technique.

I Had the amazing opportunity to work with the talented . As you’ll see in the next few posts, she not only captured some beautiful shots but also the raw feeling.

In class we go through a progression. Some asanas feel amazing and natural, and some feel like you’re walking for the first time again. That space of unfamiliarity is where you grow. Take a chance today, be vulnerable.

Morning flow on Portobello Beach featuring Winston ! 😂

Sometimes as our practice depends as yogis, we get caught up in achieving the complicated asanas or hitting a milestone in flexibility. Remember to have fun, give yourself time to laugh. Challenge yourself and if you fall out, shake it off and try again. Not everything is going to go as planned. And that is why we practice yoga, so that when things don’t go right in life we can breath through it or have a little giggle and move on. This morning I had a vision for a perfect morning Yoga session . It wasn’t perfect but rather “Wabi-Sabi” a Japanese term that translates to the thought of finding beauty in every aspect of imperfection in nature.

Have a great day 🤍

About Laura:

Up to this point, I have dedicated my life to singing professionally around the world. I started my career as a singer in the cover scene, fronting a rock/pop band. Improper breath control, dehydration and late nights in crowded bars gave my vocal cords a beating eventually leading to a nodule (blister on the vocal cord). I had to rehab my voice or my career was over. I was petrified. Thats when I started to study breath work. I dove head first into breathing excersises and vocal techniques and through it, found Yoga. I had no idea how much using yoga postures (asanas) and breathing exercises (pranayama) could not only strengthen my voice and help my technique, but also change other aspects of my life and performance. My confidence, posture, technique, stamina and most importantly, my frame of mind were all reaping the benefits. life has thrown me a fair share of hoops to jump through, and after all of the loss, love, anger, and happiness. The need for grounding was real. As I went on sing and dance in production shows on cruise ships with rigorous physical and mentally challenging schedule, I always found solace on the mat. Yoga was something that regardless where I was, brought me home. I can proudly say that since practicing yoga and proper pranayama regularly I have never missed a show or lost my voice. Proofs in the pudding. Weather your here to strengthen your practice of asanas and pranayama, work on your mindfulness, build strength and flexibility, you’re welcome with open arms .
