Laura Hinde has been teaching Hatha Yoga since 1995 in Canada, New York, The Bahamas, Puerto Rico, London and St Albans. She trained with her teacher Faustomaria Dorelli at Innergy Yoga in West London and with the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Society. Her studies of Raja Yoga with Fausto are at the core of her understanding and teaching of Yoga. She is also influenced by her practice of Vipassana Meditation, since 1995. She has taught Pre-Natal Yoga for 10 years, studying with Janet Balaskas at The Active Birth Centre and developing her own practice during her two pregnancies. Her interest in Baby Massage, Post-Natal Yoga, Baby Yoga and Tots Yoga has grown with her own children. She has studied with Peter Walker and Birthlight, and her classes incorporate what she has learned from personal experience.


Finlay Hinde began practicing Kundalini Yoga in 1994 with his Chinese Medicine teacher, Guru Dharam Singh Khalsa, and Qi Gong with Tinh Thong Nguyen. During his years as an Acupuncturist, Herbalist and Sound Healer, he also practiced Kashmiri Yoga, Iyengar Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga. In 1998 he found his teacher Faustomaria Dorelli, who could demonstrate Classical Yoga integrated with our modern western predicament. After Sivananda teacher training in 2000 he married one of Fausto’s student teachers, Laura. Together they set up The Yoga Hall in St Albans. Finlay teaches all levels of Hatha Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation, Raja Yoga and Kirtan Chanting.
