L.P. @YOGANEST and Estelle yoga | Retraite 2025 Beau-Site

A retreat that combines dynamism and gentleness with a duo of experienced teachers with complementary skills. They guide us in understanding our physical, mental and spiritual bodies. The perfect place, the magic of these days of retreat, disconnection and self-care in an enveloping atmosphere to let go and recharge our batteries.

Michael @YOGANEST and Estelle yoga | Retraite 2025 Beau-Site

Estelle and Laurence, I particularly loved your teaching. You each have your own way of teaching and your own practice, and I loved the way they complemented each other.

ClassPass @Let's yoga | Studio SoHam, Geneva

This Vapa Kaia treatment was like an internal journey. I loved the fact that several senses were stimulated at the same time, it was incredible. I enjoyed the instruments used, the smells and the acupressure massage on my back. The sound vibrations were very powerful, intense and very soothing for me!

ClassPass @Studio SoHam, Geneva

Our bodies have innumerable possibilities for feeling good, relaxing and/or letting go - we just need to think about them! Thank you to Laurence for having thought of this workshop, an opportunity to refresh our memory and a very pleasant moment of sharing and exchange.

Never did restorative yoga before so I wanted to try it out. Not necessarily a workout but definitely a great and much needed de-stressing and relaxation session (Restorative Yoga)

ClassPass @Studio SoHam, Geneva

Laurence, ever mindful of our well-being and full of resources, is now offering us the Vapa Kaia individual treatment. I let my mind, body and senses travel to the rhythm of sounds, vibrations, scents and pressure. In this brand new cocoon of gentleness at the bottom of the garden, with kindness, Laurence took me...

Had a wonderful class with Laurence, yin yoga with massage balls. I was my first time and I didn't know what to expect but Laurence was very kind to explain the concept of yin yoga with it's focus on deep relaxation, slow movement, breathing and letting go. After the class, I feel like I had an hour of both massage and meditation. Thanks you Laurence (Yin & Balles)

ClassPass @Studio Soham, Geneva

Perfect slow relaxing stretching practice! I'm 7 months pregnant and I found it a perfect way to release muscle tension without exhausting myself (Yin yoga)

ClassPass @Let's Yoga | Shanti Club, Geneva

Fantastic class. My entire body felt much relieved after this practice. Strongly recommend as a complement if you perform sports on a regular basis (Restorative Yoga)

ClassPass @Let's yoga | Shanti Club, Geneva

Before I started joining Laurence’s yin yoga classes, I was of the believe that the only way to reduce stress and find a balance is doing intensive workouts. But there was always missing something. It only took a few lessons with her to realise what a calming and soothing effect yin yoga has on me. She taught me how to better connect with me, my body and my mind. What I appreciate most (beside her great teaching skills) is her ability to treat everybody for what he/she is; an individual. She understands the different needs, capabilities but also physical limitation and always offers different option to do a pose (reminding us to listen to our body). I could not have had any better teacher than Laurence to start my “yin yoga journey”.

Nadine Bagnoud, student @ Swiss Club in Singapore

I discovered yin by chance just over two years ago. Since then, Laurence's class has become a weekly appointment that's not to be missed under any circumstances: the practice gives me physical well-being and serenity, and helps me to manage stressful situations on a daily basis. I particularly appreciate Laurence's ability to...

Emma Hamilton @ Alphabalance

Wow! LOVED the Yin yoga session I've just been to with Laurence from AlphaBalance at the Polo Club. What a great complement to the sweatest Taba and Vinyasa sessions! We used the wall and the whole session was lying down. My whole body and mind feel light and airy now. Totally recommend it!

Student @ AlphaBalance

Great class, she was very communicative and friendly (Yin & Restorative yoga)

Student @ AlphaBalance

Perfect ! Slow motion but powerful sequence. Very precise explanations about the ways to do the different poses (Hatha yoga)

Student @ AlphaBalance

The yin balles class was excellent , I would recommend it to everybody to balance more active yoga and get to deep stretching alignment and relaxation (Yin yoga & Balles)

Student @ AlphaBalance

Great class! Nice and slow, with plenty of time to really benefit from each asana. Lots of useful props available and suggestions of how to use them, if required (note that props are optional - no need to use them if you prefer not to) (Yin & Restorative yoga)

Student @ AlphaBalance

Hi, this evening I had an amazing restorative class with Laurence. Throughout the whole class I felt as though I were practically asleep but I wasn't. I managed to follow instructions and move into the next poses when it was required. I want to experience it again.

Student @ AlphaBalance

Lovely class and teacher. Was just what I needed at the time.

Student @ AlphaBalance

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...

Emma Hamilton @ Alphabalance

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!

Camee Gergely, Roll & Release workshop @ AlphaBalance

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.

Student at AlphaBalance

Love Laurence's class, such a lovely way to unwind and reset mid week.

The practice of yoga is adapted to the physical condition and needs of its practitioners. Yin yoga (nidra, restorative, yin), for example, is gentler, focusing on deep stretching of the body, breathing and letting go. Yang yoga (vinyasa, ashtanga yoga, hatha), on the other hand, is dynamic. It is practised around sequences of asanas (Sanskrit yoga postures) to work on strengthening the muscles. What's more, each class and each exercise can be adapted to suit the yogis present and their wishes and abilities.

The benefits of yoga are many and everyone can experience them: relaxation of body and mind, greater self-awareness, relaxation, control of breathing, mental calm, flexibility, general well-being.

Whether you're looking for an introduction to yoga or to start a regular practice, you'll quickly discover the benefits of yoga and regain your vital energy. Perhaps the testimonials below will inspire you to take up yoga too!
