Hello, I’m Lara, originally from Johannesburg, South Africa. I began my yoga journey in school to move through pain from a car accident.

Since then, I’ve done yoga on and off, trying a variety of styles. My teaching journey began because I wanted to help others discover confidence through movement. I’m trained in Aerial Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga. But I’ve always wanted to learn more, more about the body, more about movement, so much more 😊

In my own yoga practice, I noticed imbalances in my body. I realised I needed to add in some strength training. Along the way I discovered Yoga Detour and so began the journey of learning, unlearning, relearning. The Detour Method has helped me to see things more clearly. It's reignited my curiosity and got me asking more questions than I have the answers to.

I can’t remember where I heard this definition of yoga, but it’s always stuck with me: “Apply a stimulus to the body and notice what happens”. In a Yoga Detour class sometimes this causes laughter, other times you feel cramping, but all are opportunities to learn something about yourself.

I describe my classes as a supportive environment for you to playfully challenge the patterns of your body and mind.
