Soul Sanctuary Founder, Laura Clayton
Having experienced burn-out in the corporate world, yoga saved me, so I made it my mission for the past 12 years to share the tools of yoga with as many people as possible. I created Soul Sanctuary, our beautiful studio, I lead 200 hour yoga trainings and work as a corporate wellness consultant for clients such as Shell, HSBC, CBRE, Deloitte, DPD and more. We make the principals of yoga down to earth and accessible to everyone, incorporating psychology, self development and yoga. Yoga gives us the tools to live a healthier, happier life; it is a privilege to be able to share those tools with others.
