〰️ In my 20s, I wanted to change my body. In my 40s, I want to take care of it We spent years surrounded by messaging that taught women to control and perfect their bodies- and as a former model, that mindset was everywhere- and it was very deeply unhealthy for me. I now sometimes see this creeping into wellness too. We are told to optimise and perfect everything and somewhere along the way—certainly for me—that stopped feeling like being well. I believe wellness is less about control and more about partnership. Feeling strong enough to carry life. Mobile enough to move well. Calm enough to think clearly. Energised enough to enjoy the people and experiences I love. Less punishment. More intelligence. More support— without adding stress.What are your thoughts?Laura xx by @theyogaclass.co

〰️ A NEW SERIES… notes from me - that are hopefully interesting ;) - Laura, TYC Founder, on some things I feel very passionate about within the world of wellness 🕊️I’m not interested in punishment disguised as wellness. I’m not interested in pressure, guilt, and shaming in the name of wellness…. I’m interested in movement and wellbeing tools that help people feel stronger, more energised, more regulated and more connected to themselves. Sustainable wellness was never supposed to become another form of self-criticism. I believe wellness should work with your body to support you and your wellbeing.. not against it. This is 100% one of our key pillars of TYC overall ethos.Life is for living! Let’s embrace it!Let me know your thoughts? Laura xx by @theyogaclass.co

〰️ SUMMER IS FOR LIVING ✨ For slower mornings. Sea air. Late dinners. Sunset drinks. Long conversations. More joy… more presence. … + your wellbeing doesn’t need to disappear just because routine changes. It really doesn’t need to be all or nothing. Sometimes it looks like a full class. Sometimes it’s 10 minutes of Pilates in a hotel room, or a quick yoga flow before dinner, or breath-work before sleep. That’s exactly why we created the Travel Series inside TYC app- short, effective sessions designed to support you wherever summer takes you. We are here for all of it- whether you have 45 minutes, 15 minutes, or barely 5. More living. Less pressure ✨ Laura xx…loving our retreat reminiscing content tooooo x all by our girl @wattsbethany by @theyogaclass.co

〰️ When everything feels hot and overstimulated, the body often craves the opposite ☀️ In Traditional Chinese Medicine, summer is associated with the fire element- energy, heat, movement, expansion. Beautiful in many ways, but too much fire can also leave us feeling overstimulated, restless or depleted. Therefore we bring in Yin- inviting the balancing energy of water 💧 Cooling practices like yin can help regulate the nervous system, soften muscular tension and reduce internal intensity. Through longer holds, softer breath and less effort, we shift out of doing and into being. Actually being a cooling practice! Sometimes balance is found in slowing down- especially on these heat wave days. Try each pose on both sides for at least 3 minutes〰️ Dragon〰️ Sleeping Swan〰️ Shoelace〰️ Stirrup〰️ Spinal Twist Stay cool,Laura xx by @theyogaclass.co

〰️ You are allowed to want results. + softness. + strength. + peace…Save this simple 10-min plank workout, anytime anywhere- no mat required. 10 reps x 3 of each set. Drop the opposite knee if you need :)…. It’s just become so apparent to me that many women in their 40s, including me, and especially those carrying a lot- work, children, stress, hormonal shifts, emotional load- that adding more stress through workouts isn’t always the answer.That doesn’t mean giving up on strength. It just means training more intelligently + building strength, muscle, tone and resilience in a way that supports your body rather than depletes it.This is one of the reasons I created our 21-day Sculpt 3.0 series inside The Yoga Class app. Low-impact, enjoyable, intelligent movement designed to fit into real life. Available anytime, anywhere.…also reminiscing on our beautiful Morocco retreat 🦋Laura xx by @theyogaclass.co

〰️ Take notice of what light does ☀️Summer opens us. It draws us outward, into warmth, movement, connection and aliveness.Today, the Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, and also my favourite day of the year! Carrying the energy of fire: growth, vitality, abundance and transformation.Everything in nature is expanding toward the light.Pause. Breathe. Realign. Then ask yourself, what would letting more light in look like for me…Laura xxx by @theyogaclass.co

We first crossed paths with Laura back in London through an event, and we were immediately drawn to her mindset and the depth of her work.She is a certified yoga and meditation teacher, and founder of @theyogaclass.co — a digital yoga studio born out of understanding what busy people actually need: accessible movement, meditation, and presence, anytime, anywhere.She understands that scent is one of the fastest ways to signal safety to the body, which is why we have worked with her on her retreats across Menorca, the Dolomites and Morocco, and why she has integrated AMNIENS into the wellness offering at @mo_mayfair. But beyond the teaching: Laura is a hard-working loving mum, a lover of food, wine, and travel. She believes in longevity, not just looking good, but ageing with strength, grace, and a body that feels good.When Laura talks about wellness, she’s not selling perfection. She’s offering compassion and consistency. The belief that yoga — and life — is for everybody.This is why we love her and why we wanted to feature her in our ‘Get to Know’ series.Swipe to get to know Laura by @theyogaclass.co

Low impact, effective, and cortisol-friendly movement - perfect for travel days, hotel rooms or busy mornings when you want movement that feels effective, energising and realistic. No mat required.
