I hadn't had a period for 4 months, had just been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and was feeling a lot of unhappy energy in my womb region! The medical advice I had been given was to take synthetic hormones for this, which I really didn't want to do. Laura taught me some yoga positions both restorative and more active, which I then practiced at home and three days later my period came!!
I was unsure about yoga therapy before but this was a really amazing experience for me, I feel more in touch with my body! I was so happy, relieved and also felt quite empowered and proud of the amazingness of mind-body connection. Thank you so much for making me feel comfortable and for helping me to channel my energy in this way, I can't even express how much I appreciate it, this has really made a big difference to me!

Thank you for your time being a yoga pioneer in Norwegian football with Molde Football Club, MFK.
It was a new way of recovery for the footballers; the benefits of restoring range of motion and reducing tension in the muscles, combined with the positive effects of calming down the nervous system after strenuous games through yoga. The boys really appreciated your focused presence and calming voice.

I have been a regular participant in Laura's yoga classes for several years and I am still impressed by how varied and exciting it has been. What a knowledgeable yoga teacher! A constant journey, not a single session has been the same. Yet, at the same time, all classes have had enough familiar elements that there was not too much new.
Laura is playful and has an infectious sense of humor and laughter, and suddenly the whole yoga class tries to stand on their hands, even those who "knew" that they "NEVER" would make it happen - they try too! And yet there is room for all bodies and all ages, no matter how stiff you may be or what injuries you have sustained. All the positions can be adapted and Laura knows how.
For me, it has been a perfect mix of challenges on strength, balance and softness, while she has plenty of time to show, explain and help, never any stress. And THE long relaxation at the end, which resets the whole system. But what has given me the most, seen in retrospect, is that she has made me curious about the philosophical and spiritual foundation on which Hatha-Yoga stands. There is a lot of exciting things to discover. I'm very grateful she opened that door for me. It is sad that she moved.
Some years ago when Laura still was in Molde (oh how I miss her here), I was attending her yoga class regularly. This was really my best yoga ever. A teacher like Laura, competent, caring, empathetic and easy to follow - is really not easy to find.
I recommend with my heart to follow her teaching in yoga. I know that teaching is her passion.

Working with Laura on Yoga Therapy has been incredibly helpful in my journey towards self discovery. She is able to tune in with my needs and interests and honours them in every session we have together.
She is a phenomenal teacher who not only is very experienced but also deeply cares about her work."

I have had the pleasure of attending several of Laura's yoga classes, both active dynamic classes, beginner, restorative, for pregnant women and postnatal yoga. Laura is a very holistic, inspiring and warm person. This is felt from the beginning of the class to the end. It is like entering another world - a time of gathering, resting and using the body.
She communicates very well what she thinks, knows and wants with the lessons, and is aware of the needs of the participants. Her charisma is in itself relaxing and the time soothing. She has a holistic understanding of yoga, it is both physical exercise, and also a place for all of you - body, mind and soul.
As a pregnant woman, it was a long-awaited time to take care of a changing body, postnatally a place to recover, build strength and make the body aware. Laura and her yoga are 10 out of 10 points. - Yes, actually 11!

I worked with Laura a couple of years after having had a mastectomy due to breast cancer. I had a lot of challenges with movement, pain and a lot of restriction due to cording, but the biggest challenge for me was the anxiety I was experiencing.
We did a lot of different things in my yoga therapy sessions, things to reduce my pain and improve my movement, which helped a lot, and we did some new things for me that was to help with my anxiety and I cant believe how well it worked.
I had been seeing a therapist for a couple of years and even in just a few session with Laura she noticed and asked me what I was doing that was different. I had done yoga classes before but doing yoga therapy was such a different and wonderful experience, thank you so much!
