About Yoga Love Collective
Yoga Love Collective is a founder-led yoga studio and learning space rooted in practice, philosophy, and community. It was created as a place to slow down, come back to what matters, and remember that yoga is not something we perform — it’s something we live.
Here, yoga is approached as a living tradition. One that supports the nervous system, invites inquiry, and unfolds over time through honest, embodied practice. This is a space for those who want yoga to meet their real lives — with warmth, depth, and integrity.

About Laura
Yoga Love Collective is personally led by Laura Barrett.
Laura’s relationship with yoga didn’t begin as a neat, instant awakening. Like many, she found her way to the practice through exhaustion, curiosity, and a quiet sense that something deeper was calling. What began as a physical practice gradually revealed itself as a way of living — one that offered steadiness, perspective, and a return to self in the midst of a busy, demanding world.
In 2016, Laura travelled to Goa to complete her first teacher training — an experience that profoundly changed the direction of her life and continues to inform her teaching to this day. Since then, yoga has remained a steady companion: through growth, burnout, devotion, doubt, and deepening trust in the path.
Yoga Love Collective was born from a desire to offer yoga in a way that feels honest, relational, and rooted — free from performance, pressure, or pretence.

Laura’s Teaching
Laura’s teaching is philosophy-led, embodied, and grounded in lived experience. Her classes and trainings are shaped by traditional yogic teachings, alongside a deep respect for the nervous system, the intelligence of the body, and the reality of modern life. Philosophy is not treated as something abstract, but as something to be felt, questioned, and practiced — both on and off the mat.
You can expect classes that weave together movement, breath, meditation, reflection, and moments of stillness. Space is held for inquiry rather than instruction alone, and for community rather than comparison.
Above all, Laura teaches yoga as a practice of relationship — to self, to others, and to the wider world.
Alongside group classes and trainings, Laura also offers small-scale mentorship for those who feel called to explore the practice more personally, over time and in relationship.

A Note on the Space
Yoga Love Collective is intentionally small, personal, and community-rooted — designed for depth, not volume. Whether you’re attending weekly classes, joining a retreat, or stepping into teacher training, you’re entering a space that is held with care, integrity, and trust in the unfolding.
There is no expectation to arrive as anything other than who you are.
