Laura trained as a pregnancy yoga teacher with Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, and organised and translated the Womb Yoga-Womb Wisdom retreats with Alexandra Pope and Uma Dinsmore-Tuli at the Tibetan Buddhist Centre Kushi Ling in Arco (Trento, Italy).
In collaboration with Jane Bennet, Laura completed her program for mothers and daughters on the passage into puberty marked by the onset of menstruation, Menarch, called œCelebration Day for Girls. Laura was one of the first intake of women to complete Alexandra Pope’s pioneering œWomen’s Quest, Women’s Leadership Apprenticeship Training, a programme of feminine empowerment through awareness of the menstrual cycle.
Throughout her career, Laura has continued to deepen her understanding and practice of yoga, meditation and psychotherapy. This has led her to offer regular classes of Womb Yoga for pregnant women, post natal yoga, seminars with mothers and daughters called œCelebration Day for Girls (http://celebrationdayforgirls.com) and she offers the Menarche Ritual as one-day workshop for women.
Laura has also created a nine month program called œCerchio Rosso (Red Circle), which she runs regularly in Italy to promote the practice of the female cyclic nature based on the awareness of the menstrual cycle.
