Laura West

Laura is a student embodied yoga and meditation teacher who will graduate from her 200hr yoga teacher training and chair yoga teacher training in June 2026 with Aruna Academy Ireland. A lifelong yoga nerd, she begins her advanced 300hr training in September 2026.

Laura began her yoga journey in 2015, in search of peace and reprieve from stressful college life, starting off as a student and later a committee member of the Maynooth University Yoga Society. From her first yoga class where she giggled through most of it, to beginning her yoga teacher journey 10 years later, yoga and meditation has been transformative for Laura in all stages of life so far.

Laura's classes and personal practice centre around mobility, stability, and strength. Rooted in a blend of yoga styles, her embodied approach encourages students of all abilities to turn inwards and tune in to their bodies, minds and souls. A calm and grounding presence, with a little bit of joy sprinkled in, Laura creates a space to help students release stress and to find bliss through movement.
