About Us

Meet our Founder

Founder Laura Clayton created Soul Sanctuary in 2015, having personally experienced the stress and burnout so commonly felt in the corporate world. and found that yoga helped dramatically. Laura felt determined to share the tools of yoga to help others. Back then Laura was not the ‘yoga type’, so she feels particularly passionate about making the practice as down to earth and accessible as possible. Her ethos is, ‘it’s never about what you look like in a yoga pose, it’s all about how you feel’. Soul Sanctuary is renowned for it’s community… fun, grounded, zero-judgement, ‘come as you are’, whether you’ve done tonnes of yoga, or none at all, everyone is truly welcome. 

As well as owning yoga studios, Laura focusses her time on leading Yoga Teacher Trainings, both in-person at the studio and online, all year round. Laura also works as a Corporate Wellness Consultant, offering wellness programs to an array of clients including Shell, EDF, Bosch, Hermes, HSBC, Deloitte to name a few. 

And most importantly, she is a mum of 2 young boys, Theo, aged one, and Lenny, aged four!

Laura also hosts a wellness podcast ‘The North Node’ alongside Rebecca Clissett, co-lead teacher trainer and astrology expert.

Together, they dive into a variety of topics, exploring different yoga styles, meditation, breathwork, and more. They also broaden the conversation to include wellness themes like stress management, astrology, and beyond.
