I reached out to the lovely Laurella Fox- Pitt minutes after Vigour and Skills first launched. I knew from the first few lines I read of her story and what I saw of her work, that her message and her way of tapping in to the works and depths of her yoga practice was something I wanted to share on the V+S platform.
There has never been the wrong time to showcase her brilliant work yet something deep inside made me think that there would be no better way to get focused and start 2021 – with her distinctive voice and natural grace to both herself and any one around her, I am excited for our readers and follwers to learn how to bring this sense of peace and deeper understanding into thier lives.
In 1999, Laurella was at drama school where Yoga was part of the classes morning rituals and with this an understanding of the physical body, breath work, conscious awareness and ultimately how energy can shift perceptions and change your story began.
Now after 20 years of practice and learning from teachers all over the world, from Sharat Auror at the Himalayan Iyengar Yoga Centre, to years spent practicing and studying the dynamic vinyasa at Jivamukti and finally discovering a more anatomical training at the Contemporary School of Yoga focusing on the Myofascia alignment in the body, Wild Laurel has started her own sacred studio space in Brixton, teaching Prana Vinyasa Yoga, Pregnancy and Post Natal Yoga as well as Well Woman Yoga therapy for fertility and wellbeing at all stages of life.
There is little in life’s encyclopedia of physical and spiritual discoveries that Laurella shies away from; The Five Rhythms Dance, meditation or the pulse of Vinyassa Yoga which ultimately rooted her foundations to create her own bespoke practices and pushing her to delve in to the Divine feminine by paying attention and learning from the seasons, the monthly rhythms of the moon and the journey of pregnancy and motherhood.
Please find a moment this weekend to give yourself a little space and time to enjoy the lovely lesson Laurella has kindly shared with us at Vigour and Skills – the perfect way to begin this intangible yet long awaited year!
