Yogaroma
Yogaroma was set up in 2004 to take you on a deeply transformational journey through the practice of Yoga & The Healing Arts. Lara is a truly attentive Scaravelli Inspired Yoga teacher with extensive training and a deep self practice for over 25 years. This shines through in her teaching as she has a strong intuition on what is going on for each individual in class. She cares deeply about her students inspiring them both on and off the mat.
Her style is gently powerful, with special attention on the breath, allowing for growth in ones own internal awareness and awakening the spine, creating flowing wave like movements, exploring primal and somatics as well as working deeply from the ground up.
Her classes allow you to work profoundly from the inside out on individual areas of resistance, injury, deep emotional blockages and alignment with softness and grace. Lara’s philosophy and teachings are inspired the spirit of moving into stillness to experience your true being, enthused by her teachers John Stirk, Tias Little and Gary Carter. Lara’s areas of speciality are spinal rehabilitation as well as being a trained Aromatherapist.

Scaravelli Inspired Yoga
This promo was filmed in India while I was teaching on retreat to give you a deeper insight and understanding into the foundational principles of Scaravelli Inspired Yoga. It’s a deeply healing, nurturing and intelligent practice, offering an invitation to take an inward journey to explore the body and deep SELF from the inside without force.
What is Scaravelli Inspired Yoga?
The practice uses the earth’s energy to release the weight of the body towards the ground, creating elongation and space along the spine. It’s deeply grounding and primal, allowing you to connect with your inner animal wisdom body.
It focuses on peeling back the layers, unfolding the body without force. As you learn to travel with your breath, surrendering to gravity, it creates a ‘wave-like’ movement along the spine. It’s spontaneous and the breath and spine dance together.
It’s profoundly healing, working on areas of resistance, injury and emotional blockages. It’s NOT a passive practice, small micro movements or larger wave like movements are taking place inside the body all the time.
Movement that is born out of the breath has beauty, grace and softness. It’s a feeling and listening practice that requires a different attention of the mind. There is a lot of focus on the feet, working from the ground up to set the spine free.
