Slow practices for self-care
Yoga, breathwork + creative practices for everyday life.
I create spaces where self-care feels a little more attainable and a little less overwhelming.
I'm Laura, founder of Maitri Method. Through gentle yoga, breathwork and slow practices, I create welcoming spaces where you can feel at ease, and remember that self-care doesn’t have to be another thing on your to-do list. Whether you're joining a class, Mother's Space or a workshop, you'll be welcomed exactly as you are.
Mothers Space
Nurturing the mothers who nurture everyone else.
Motherhood can be beautiful, exhausting and everything in between.
Mothers Space offers an chance to slow down, weaving together gentle yoga, breathwork and creative journalling, creating time to move your body, and scribble down the beautiful, messy and memorable moments.
Come as you are — messy hair, tired eyes and all.
Leave feeling a little more grounded, a little more supported, and reminded that motherhood was never meant to be done alone
Hello & Welcome
Welcome! I'm Laura, a yoga teacher, mother (dog mum too). Through yoga, breathwork and meditation, I share little practices for slowing down — ways to pause, reconnect and take care of yourself that can weave into everyday life.
Growing up with a mum who practised Reiki, I was introduced to the idea of slowing down and the different ways taking care of ourselves can look. Those ideas stayed with me, and eventually led me back to yoga in my twenties.
Since then, yoga has supported me through some of the most challenging seasons of my life — motherhood, grief, burnout, career changes... and the ordinary days in between too. Over time, my understanding of yoga has shifted. It's become less about something to improve upon, and more about having a steady space to return to.
After practising for more than 10 years, I qualified as a teacher in 2018 with the wonderful YogaCampus / The Life Centre in London. Alongside teaching, I continue to work in design, a background that influences my creative and thoughtful approach to classes and experiences.
Maitri Method was born from a desire to share the tools that have supported and brought me joy. My intention is simple: to create welcoming spaces and little practices that help you slow down, breathe, reconnect and take care of yourself — without adding another thing to your to-do list.
My Approach
The name Maitrī Method embodies my approach. Maitrī is a Sanskrit word that can be interpreted as friendship, kindness, and compassion toward yourself and others.
These values run through everything I do: inclusivity, warmth, and openness. However you might be feeling, and wherever you’re coming from, my aim is to offer practices that support you and help you leave feeling a little better (or a lot better) than when you arrived.
