Laurie has the gift of bringing us into Presence so naturally, making all movement and rest so potent! I am encouraged to move at my own pace and I feel gently supported throughout by teacher and class x

I whole heartily recommend

Laurie is such a wonderful thoughtful and caring  and super holistic yoga teacher. I especially love the variety, and the fact that she clearly really thinks through and plans her classes. Laurie constantly adds new things which I love, so it is always interesting. She creates a safe and friendly environment in every class.

Thank you!

Laurie’s classes are wonderful. She has always provided a safe welcoming space. Her knowledge and dedication to learning has always made me feel I am in the best hands, and has helped me progress over the years within my own practice.

I look forward to my Friday practice to have that time (guilt free) for self care, and always leave feel more relaxed but energised, as Laurie is so in tune with what we need on the day.

I would recommend Sage Yoga to anyone who is either a beginner or experienced with yoga as laurie would guide you to have the best experience.

I will always be grateful to Laurie for everything she provides for us all, she is one of the best people I know’.

Laura Porter

When I started Laurie’s classes I felt my soul was poorly, but the sessions have really helped me develop my practice in ways that have had such positive effects on my health and sense of wellbeing.  I love the linking of yoga practice and the body with the natural world and its seasons and shifts.  The classes are always a welcoming and safe space where I can continue to learn for myself when I need to feel nurtured or challenged, or to just be.  And in all of this fabulous stuff – Laurie manages to give a sense of fun and lightness throughout the class.

‘I would not hesitate in recommending Sage Yoga, Belper. For anyone contemplating starting yoga as a beginner this is definitely the class to choose. A calm atmosphere, friendly welcome and Laurie’s guided instruction makes it non-intimidating and suitable for all abilities. This class has changed my mind set and wellbeing, I am much calmer, mindful and flexible now and it’s all thanks to Laurie’.

Jeanette Lewis

Absolutely the best yoga class I have ever been to.

Laurie makes us feel welcome and comfortable in the special space she has created.  It is easy to follow her instructions and she explains the significance and purpose of the different poses – not all teachers do that, and it really makes a difference.  She also sprinkles a bit of humour as she goes along, which I like.

She makes it possible for people like me, with creaky, stiff old joints, to find an appropriate level of challenge without feeling pressurised or uncomfortable.

I would recommend Laurie’s class to anyone.

Going to Laurie’s yoga class is the highlight of my week . I feel so much better for going . There is no pressure to do anything and it is a wonderful , non competitive , non judgemental experience . Laurie explains everything really clearly and no two sessions are ever the same . I am always learning something new . I feel revitalised and grounded after every session . The atmosphere is calm, inviting and welcoming . I have been going for just over a year and it has been noticeably good for my health .

Laurie had created a little haven at Sage Yoga. It is more than a place for classes, it is a community full of care & support. It restores me every week.

Laurie’s practice is informed & safe – she is so conscientious & takes great care of everyone who walks through the door; with a smile & a laugh too. How lucky we are to have this space in Belper’

I love Laurie’s yoga classes at her beautiful studio, they are a highlight of my week, a true break from the stresses of everyday life. The classes are friendly and down to earth with something for everyone and there’s always room for a bit of humour. She gauges the room perfectly and adapts the class to your needs. I run and swim a lot too so her classes provide me with mindful balance and also highly important stretching techniques”

Denise Rice

From my first session I have always felt I have found my yoga home – complete balance of spiritual, mindful, and physical practice. I always come away feeling uplifted and having learned something about myself and or my body.

Paul Vincent

The Sage Yoga experience is completely nourishing. Laurie’s care for every individual is exceptional. She fosters a totally replenishing atmosphere. How ever I feel before the session I leave feeling uplifted and glowing.

The Sage Yoga Studio is a very special place. Whether it is a yoga session for adults, a baby or toddler yoga group or a live kirtan performance, the studio has an energy that lends itself perfectly.  When I’m there for any of the above I feel grounded and at the same time also free of my everyday life, worries and concerns.  Everything feels possible when you’re in the Sage Yoga space!

Laurie has a natural affinity with people. From your first lesson you feel part of something bigger and connected to the sacred practice of yoga! I have been attending classes with Laurie for more than 4 years and it has become a touch point in my week to check back in with myself and both let go of the outside world and at the same time feel more connected to it than when I entered the space.

Anon

Laurie’s sessions are light-hearted and full of playfulness! She takes the practice of yoga and her deepening studies into yoga seriously, but never takes herself too seriously, so that her sessions are like a breath of fresh air, where we giggle and try out things for the fun of it, as well as because it’s good for your body and mind.

Anon

I love the mix and balance of different styles of yoga and other complementary practices.  During a yoga class, we experience Laurie’s knowledge of acupressure, Zen yoga, Qigong, yoga nidra, as well as more classical hatha yoga.  The mix creates a really engaging and well-balanced class.  I love Laurie’s ability to bring complete relaxation at the end of a session through her skills in yoga nidra!

Victoria Harrison

Laurie is simply amazing, very genuine,  warm and kind. Her experience and knowledge of yoga shines through. Using a completely holistic approach for body and mind, the wonderfully calm and relaxing atmosphere at every class is exactly what I was looking for. She was highly recommend to me and I have recommended to so many people too. Laurie’s compassion and wise words stay with me every week, be gentle!

Anon

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laurie’s Yoga classes. After a long break from Yoga it has been a gentle reintroduction. Her classes suit all abilities and I love the Sage studio where it always feels warm and welcoming. Not only is it rewarding physically, but I also feel the benefits to my mental well-being. Laurie’s guided meditations and breathing techniques help me switch off and unwind, helping my body and mind relax. I always leave the sessions rejuvenated and energised.
