Class Types
“Blended” classes are our new normal, where every class I will blend together teaching in-person and live-stream via Zoom at the same time.
In-person option – this is for someone who wants to attend the studio in person – is on a first-come first served basis.
Live-Stream/Zoom option – this is a virtual option only where you can sign up for one or many drop-in live-streamed and/or recorded via Zoom. Limitless spaces! Access to the internet is required.
*It is a highly unpredictable time and I need to be proactive in our approach to the sessions so that I can continue to serve you. My priority is to keep you safe and supported.
I will reserve the right to switch in-person sessions to live-stream if:
· I become ill or need to self-isolate
· You become ill or need to self-isolate
· Using track & trace method I will notify you if anyone you have been in contact with at the studio has become unwell & therefore we all need to self-isolate
· Government lockdown is implemented so that we have to formally close for a time.
Across the variety of sessions there is a perfect class for you, so explore below and click to book!
All classes are now live to book on www.RuralSoul.co.uk

The class covers pranayama (breathwork), asanas (postures), relaxation techniques and yoga concepts. I also use essential oils in relaxation to help create a deeply restful state of mind. Modifications and use of props help students to find ease in postures.

Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga as exercise, incorporating principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with asanas (postures) that are held for longer periods of time. For beginners, asanas may be held from 45 seconds to two minutes; more advanced practitioners may stay in one asana three to five minutes.
This is perfect for deep stretching, relaxation and de-stressing and for anyone who is just starting out in yoga and likes to take it steady.
Meditation & Yoga Nidra
This practice is suitable for ALL. It is also vital for our mental & physical wellbeing. Check in with yourself in a gentle and easy introduction to meditation followed by a delicious and relaxing Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) where you are deeply resting and contacting your subconscious to restore & renew your body’s vital energy. No experience required. Come and try and you will not look back!
SoundMoves Yoga
Soundmoves is a form of yoga therapy using specially designed music to guide the breath. Developed by Australian yoga therapist and teacher Noah McKenna, the therapeutic benefits include a calmer and more focused mind, a happier disposition and a reduction in stress levels.
It is completely safe for all age groups and is recommended for anyone interested in yoga. Wherever you are at on your yoga path Soundmoves will help to deepen your practice.
Resonant frequency breathing is a subtle yet powerful tool which orients the nervous system toward the state of stability and security. By harmonising the cyclic cardiac signals of sympathetic and parasympathetic systems calm messages ascend through many levels of the mind both unconscious, subconscious and conscious. The effects improve emotional regulation and focus in the right hemisphere and re-calibrate energy levels in the left.
The music is designed with many magical properties to help induce a state of absorption. With isochronic beats, theta waves and key signatures based on complex fibonacci series. The richness and multi-layered sound on its own has amazing benefit but combined with soundmoves breathing, somatic techniques and aromatherapy it becomes deeply beneficial.
“As a relative “newbie” to yoga, I had tried several different Pilates-type classes and not got on well with them, I then discovered Lara’s class & am a complete convert! These classes do challenge us, but in a positive, non-competitive style which, even as a beginner, I found both achievable and enjoyable. Highly recommended!”
“I love the mindfulness incorporated into the classes and the breath work makes me feel really calm. I have also found the emphasis you put on protecting our backs and using our core really useful. I’ve noticed that I’ve started using my core now when I lift at home!”
“I have attended Lara’s classes for several years. She has very positive energy and a genuine love of teaching. Her enthusiasm for yoga is inspiring and she is an encouraging and supportive teacher. No two classes are the same. Each week I learn something new, whether it be an asana, the theory behind it or breath control. I leave Lara’s classes feeling refreshed and energised, even after a hard day at work”
“Lara is an excellent teacher with gentle encouragement and devotion to her yoga makes her classes really special. I look forward to her class every week and come away feeling wonderful”
