In my twenties I experienced prolonged, high-levels of stress, repeated burn out and a number of significant bereavements which led me, out of necessity, to explore a number of routes to support myself. I was extremely lucky to encounter a number of exceptionally skilled and compassionate teachers, practitioners and guides who I dedicated many years practicing with, learning from and working alongside. One of the most significant influences has been Dr Deepika Rodrigo, from the Ayurvedic Institute, UK, who treated me for a deep-seated Pitta (fire and water) imbalance for over a year, and in that time saw something in me and invited me to train as a massage therapist with her school. Under her guidance and with her unwaivering encouragement and support I qualified as an Ayurvedic Massage therapist, and have been practicing in Oxford ever since. My journey through yoga has been multi-faceted and I’ve transitioned through a wide range of approaches from the more regimented and strenuous practices of Ashtanga Yoga and Vipassana meditation, to the more quiet and nourishing experiences of Yoga Nidra and Angela Farmer’s Feminine Unfolding. Generally, there has been a gradual and deeply felt shift in focus and expression from the outward, physical and structured, towards the inward, fluid and soft. To this day, I’m still navigating and finding that balance between the two. Since practicing, teaching and treating in Oxford I’ve been heavily involved in community wellbeing and organising. A great passion of mine is that care and wellbeing is valued, supported and integrated into our society, how we interrelate as a community, and how we each move through the world. In 2019 I co-founded the Oxford Wellbeing Cooperative - a diverse collective of practitioners who are working towards sustainable and accessible wellbeing support to the Oxford community. I’m also the co-creator of the Yoga Teachers Union, IWGB, the first trade union for yoga teachers in the UK. https://www.ayurvedacorner.co.uk/location daily 0.75 2026-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/1a4cb017-e322-44e1-9792-e61e27fc8667/massage.jpg Location - Contact us. laura@ayurvedacorner.co.uk Healthy Oxford, 33a Canal Street, Jericho, OX2 6BQ Facebook Instagram https://www.ayurvedacorner.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2022-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/eee0660e-9cfb-4536-b065-9c157977f156/14086425_1384085601621089_1454375306163800005_o.jpg Home - Ayurvedic Massage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/dfdbc98b-dc1f-44ce-9c7d-35714d259167/81598001_3179116832117948_6469567078289375232_n.jpg Home - Yoga Classes and Workshops https://www.ayurvedacorner.co.uk/yoga daily 0.75 2026-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/9d47a6f6-8195-4895-9306-3d57e2d7a726/43178754_2304894792873494_6728487008475283456_n.jpg Yoga https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/02508b0f-e0d5-49c8-9db6-1e4a683c1b7b/37827703_2195393603823614_1083653289964208128_n.jpg Yoga - Moon Sequence Schedule Saturdays @ Everybody Studio, Magdalen Road, East Oxford Jan 22nd - 2-5 pm; Feb 26th - 1-4 pm; Mar 12th & 26th - 2-5 pm; Apr 9th, 23rd - 2-5 pm https://www.ayurvedacorner.co.uk/ayurvedic-massage daily 0.75 2026-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/3b3817b0-c915-4d12-bcac-989dc354517a/Olive+Green+Grid+Comparison+Chart.png Ayurvedic Massage - Some examples of how doshic imbalances can manifest in the mind and body https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/4cf98e76-730d-4766-bb7d-b50e056de5b8/1391955_754806601215662_790980783_n.jpg Ayurvedic Massage - 90 Minute Massage £85 a brief consultation, in which your Vikruti (current doshic imbalance) will be determined full-body massage using warm Ayurvedic oils, pressure on specific marma points located throughout the body and chakra-balancing techniques head massage https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/ff14cd26-ab3d-465a-9f24-96d6d926866a/2+%281%29.jpg Ayurvedic Massage - 60 Minute Massage £60 a brief consultation, in which your Vikruti (current doshic imbalance) will be determined upper-body massage using warm Ayurvedic oils, pressure on specific marma points located throughout the body and chakra-balancing techniques. https://www.ayurvedacorner.co.uk/bookings daily 0.75 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/1642536746929-5C97H1JMUB4CQV8BTQYY/1391955_754806601215662_790980783_n.jpg Bookings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/1642536965664-VZQ6QF1BCCJSTZV47Q5G/massage.jpg Bookings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/1642537094310-9ZNPVOV79IK9KR0PPR9C/2AEC4B62-DC6B-4F96-97FE-6DF9AE2DC269.jpg Bookings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/1660812273314-UYKD3V1R52DBQ42QEEBK/73DECFA0-4C4F-4360-9514-1277BE5D6B77.JPG Bookings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/8bb1cc8f-fb26-4718-9ef4-9ef181efe5ac/unnamed.jpg https://www.ayurvedacorner.co.uk/oxford-wellbeing-coop daily 0.75 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/0142bcb8-1f3d-4c6d-931a-2c6bdec64ab8/Wellbeing-Cooperative-Alternative-Circle-Logo-3-Teal-White.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/8bb1cc8f-fb26-4718-9ef4-9ef181efe5ac/unnamed.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/1642841301013-QHYC297WTGNNR2IIHX94/AC3.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/e09a0b5a-6100-40d0-8587-30a550a99083/Untitled+design+%2816%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/4b0897df-3b71-47b4-8569-6df5b790f17d/Wednesday+%283%29+%281%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/00905651-879c-4ad5-818f-818832456f01/IMG_6736.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d40b741dd8126bfa89b128/48ed13c5-2c66-4121-80f7-e922885c148b/Untitled+design+%2815%29.png
