Lovely class and teacher. Was just what I needed at the time.
I love the instructor for your Yin yoga class (Laurence). Only wish is that she teaches more classes after work hours and at more convenient central location. The class was small and intimate which was great. Laurence explained in great details and have good knowledge of body anatomy. I think even for beginners, the class was not intimidating as Laurence tries to help and give a lot of options. Laurence has a very soothing voice which really relaxes you. The mat (very sticky so I really like it) and props are all great. Only thing is I wish there was an option to use therapy balls (hard ones) instead of soft tennis balls.
Would just like to thank Laurence from AlphaBalance for another great Yin session this morning. If you’re looking for a class which challenges your body and mind in a totally different way and is less sweaty(!) then check out her classes – she’s fab!
Today’s workshop was great! Many thanks for teaching me all the techniques using the Therapy balls. I enjoyed the calm atmosphere and the rhythm of the entire workshop. I felt much more envigorated after the workshop. The time has passed so quickly and that’s thanks to you skilled coaching methods. Not one dull moment.
Laurence is very selfless and shared many useful tips, I really appreciate the session.
I have been taking yin yoga classes with Laurence for over 2 years. I never miss her class unless I am traveling. Yin is a wonderful way to start my week! Laurence ensures that each class has a variety of poses with each class being different than the previous. Laurence leads us through a series of poses and calmly explains the purpose of each pose so that I learn something new each week. In summary, I love the variety that Laurence creates. Furthermore, Laurence has a lovely voice that calms me and allows me to focus. This may sound trivial, but sometimes an instructor’s voice or accent can be distracting. Finally, I would add that Laurence takes time during the practice to adjust and advise without judging. She knows her « yogis » well and always enquires about injuries or general wellbeing. She uses a variety of props (blocks, strap, bolster) to individualize the poses for me as required. A wonderful attention to personal abilities! In short, I can highly recommend Laurence as a yin instructor. I truly enjoy her class!
I obtained exactly what I wanted from the workshop…. To gain sufficient technique in order target my own problem areas, which will allow me to focus on & incorporate this form of therapy in day to day maintenance of good health.
Loved it! My shoulders are less tense after 1 session of yin yoga. V effective, v patient and professional instructor – Laurence. Thank you!
Good luck Laurence for the next chapter. I will always remember your yin classes. I’ve never found one quite so beautiful.
First of all, the first yoga session was very welcoming, I immediately felt good and calm, which is why I decided to continue. Laurence does her work with a great deal of professionalism and a great deal of humour. The atmosphere is great and you feel at ease in her classes. I highly recommend attending a class. She has a good vocal temperament, very gentle and relaxing.
