“Every time we come to practice Yoga we’re unpacking the intuitive wisdom within. We’re listening, we’re learning the language and modes of expression unique to each one of us majestic beings.
Because this body of ours is an extraordinary alchemical vessel, a cauldron filled with so much somatic, psychic and emotional data that is ever-awaiting the fire of our presence in order to integrate, metabolise and transmute into the Gold our true nature.
With an attitude borne of awe, and breath as our guide, we begin the journey of illuminating and articulating the inner world; becoming poets and artists of the vast and untamed territory of our wild inner ecology.”
~ Lara
Lara has been exploring this art and science as student and teacher for over 15 years. In her own practice, the process of mapping the mysteries of body and mind, with an awareness borne of boundless curiosity, has been a profound portal into healing and liberation. She feels privileged for the chance to be able to share this inner alchemy with students.
Lara has become globally known for her fluid and dynamic teaching style, delivered with heartfelt poetic prose, inviting students to savour the texture of every sensation and the flavour of every breath as a portal into revelation and dynamic moving meditation.
Through slow, breath-guided movement and compassionate Tantric self-enquiry, each practice with Lara is an invitation to sensitise back to your wild, untamed, original nature. As you savour and digest every intense sensation, surge of emotion and spark of inner information, she holds space for you to get to know yourself, perhaps on levels previously maybe never thought possible.

When in Australia, Lara teaches public classes from Temple of Rose on her property in Federal, and at BodyMindLife Byron Bay studio.

“It is no exaggeration to say that Lara’s teaching of yoga has changed my life. She has a very rare ability to speak to EVERY facet of yoga – from the physical alignment, to the energetics underneath, to the bhakti (heart).
She has helped me understand how to make yoga a way of life, a way of relating to myself and to others, that has enriched my life immeasurably. Whether you have never done a downward dog before, or whether you have practiced for decades, Lara has the ability to guide you towards the fullest, brightest, and most vibrant version of yourself that you possibly can be.

“It’s hard to put into words what Lara has taught me through her extraordinary yoga classes, which I am gratefully continuing online despite being physically on the opposite side of the world.
Sometimes even through the most simple shapes, Lara guides an incredibly profound and expansive experience.
I urge anyone and everyone who wants to touch bliss, move through undigested pockets of pain and feel their body in motion as the greatest expression of joy - no matter what it has faced - to try Lara’s classes. It’s like stepping into the sunlight and giving yourself permission to bask in the glow of your own dazzle.”
