Laura Turner
Laura was born in Norfolk and is now based in London. She grew up with a huge love for music and dance (closely following TOTP dance routines!) At college she studied Performing Arts and then took a step into the fitness industry in 2006. After teaching group fitness for over a decade she found a new love for yoga. Laura is passionate about people finding exercise that they enjoy, something that makes you feel alive and powerful. Rajadhiraja Yoga will help you to focus your mind and work with the body too so that you feel great and can really put your mind to what you want in life. Laura has achieved many things in the past that she puts down to mind over matter, pure determination and dedication. For example: She completed the London Marathon, someone’s passing comment of “you don’t look like a runner” was great fuel in completing this! She also passed her lifeguard qualification after years of thinking she couldn’t swim. Therefore you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to, work hard and and give it 100%.
Life is to be enjoyed. If you're not enjoying it, change it. No matter what.
