Yogalaurent

The classes were fun and informative. I regularly practise fast paced Vinyasa at home so found Hatha yoga to be the perfect change for a relaxed retreat, with Laurent paying special attention to every participant (and their respective injuries) and making us all feel very comfortable. The classes were fun and informative and despite being a regular practiser I learnt a lot about refining my poses.

I particularly liked the way he came at well known postures from a different angle It is clear from the way Laurent teaches that he has done lots of work on his own practice and explored the way his body moves from within, and hes keen to help you find your own way too. Like many Scaravelli teachers, he is more interested in finding how the body feels on the inside and moving from a very deep place, than he is in finding the perfect shape to the posture.Unlike some Scaravelli teachers, though, Laurent is not averse to a bit of flow, and a bit of dynamism, as a contrast. I particularly liked the way he came at well known postures from a different angle, which meant I was able to experience them in a different way, rather than just going through the motions as can sometimes happen with classics like Adho Mukha Savasana (downward-facing dog) or Marjarayasana (cat pose).I also liked how he integrates pranayama into the postures, rather than simply separating it out at the end. I found Laurents class to be playful and exploratory, caring but fun, intense and deep but without being serious or severe. Its a really nice combination, and at the end of our class I felt relaxed but well exercised.

My most favourite moments were the morning sunshine drenched classes. It was my first yoga retreat and I was feeling slightly nervous about my level of yoga and also the idea of spending a week in a house with a group of people Id never been with before. After the first day both of these fears quickly vanished and I felt as a guest in a friends home.My most favourite moments were the morning sunshine drenched classes which felt as though they became slightly more challenging as the week progressed but even for a beginner like me they were really enjoyable and left me feeling relaxed and full of energy at the same time. Especially when followed off with a refreshing dip in the pool.I know I should think of some things that didnt go so well, or could be improved but I honestly cant. it was so well organised and I felt very looked after

A big thank you for all your hard work in CFBL yoga clubs (And sport lessons). You have a natural ability with teaching children which is truly inspiring. Thank you so much for your energy.

We cant thank you enough for all of your inspiration, insight and being such a great teacher. I wouldnt normally get out of bed so early if it wasnt for you.

Thank you for your excellent work in all our classes this year. I really appreciate your teaching style, always paying attention to the detail of the process and never end-gaining. I feel very fortunate to have met you so early in my yoga journey.

It is clear from the way Laurent teaches that he has done lots of work on his own practice and explored the way his body moves from within, and hes keen to help you find your own way too ... at the end of our class I felt relaxed but well exercised.

Laurent puts you at ease in every class. Often peppered with laughter, each class will see Laurent completely understanding your level, limitations and potential.
