Hi Laura, tell us about your massage and yoga training, where did you train?
I completed an 18 month yoga training with Yoga Campus, London and then trained for my btec level 5 sports and remedial massage with NLSSM.
What got you into yoga and massage?
My nan’s friend Betty was a yogi! When I would visit she had me doing downward facing dog in her front room, I found the names of the poses hilarious! I came back to yoga later in life and became hooked on the benefits of a regular practice.
I’ve always been interested in anatomy, and when I became a yoga teacher I noticed so many different movement patterns I became really curious to find out what was going on. After reading everything I could get my hands on I decided to study sports & remedial massage to learn more about soft tissue and how it effects movement.
What’s your favourite stretch/yoga pose?
– Savasana 🙂
– Arm balances, Astavakrasana (eight angle pose) is fun.
– Parsvottanasana (intense side stretch) is a great hamstring and gastrocnemius stretch.
Tell us something about you no one knows...
I have a degree in graphic design from Falmouth University, and love photography/ illustration.
What do you dig about working at Fix?
There’s a nice atmosphere, good people! Everyone here really knows their stuff; it’s a very satisfying job, being able to help people achieve their goals whether it’s reducing pain or running a marathon.
