Meet Layla

Yoga Teacher. Lifelong Student.

I have been a yoga enthusiast for over 20 years practicing in India, Thailand, Egypt and the UK, with some inspirational teachers.

After years of practicing and trying different styles of yoga I wanted to finally take the exciting leap into teacher training, driven by a desire to share my love for yoga with others as well as personally develop. Now being a certified Yoga Teacher I am really excited to bring all of my experience and knowledge to you.

My background is in sport and I have a passion for ensuring we all stay strong as we get older. I want to be able to get out of a chair myself when I am 80 and want to support others to be able to too!

“I love Layla's classes, she teaches with so much joy and care for her craft, it really makes the experience is enriching and her content is always varied and interesting. I come away feeling like I've done so much in each session, every time."

Laura

"I had the pleasure of attending Layla’s classes while she was training, and I can honestly say they were some of the most enjoyable and thoughtfully designed yoga sessions I’ve experienced. Layla creates a welcoming, supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable, regardless of their level.

Her teaching style is calm, patient, and encouraging, and it’s clear she puts a huge amount of care into planning each class and the flow of movements. Whether you’re completely new to yoga or have been practising for years, she adapts the sessions so everyone can get the most out of them.

I always left her classes feeling more relaxed, balanced, and positive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Layla to anyone looking for a brilliant yoga teacher."

Liz

“Layla is such an enthusiastic teacher, full of passion and warmth. Her flow work is challenging, yet inclusive and she creates a safe, joyful environment to practice. My daughters and I have loved her classes.”
