Laia Bové (she/her/ella) is an Afro-Catalan yoga and meditation teacher (E-RYT 500, YACEP), writer, and storyteller. A former professional athlete living with chronic illness, she understands the importance of practices that are sustainable, adaptable, and rooted in real life rather than perfection. Her work centers BIPOC communities, disabled folks, people with chronic illness, and anyone who has felt excluded from mainstream wellness spaces. Through accessible yoga, gentle movement, meditation, breathwork, and creative practices, Laia creates calm, welcoming environments where people can regulate their nervous systems, find steadiness, and reconnect with themselves. Blending her background in performance, writing, and somatic practice, Laia’s teaching emphasizes rhythm, presence, and care. Her offerings include short grounding meditations, daily ritual practices, guided focus sessions, restorative support for overwhelmed nervous systems, and yoga for all bodies. Laia’s approach is grounded in the belief that belonging does not require productivity, flexibility, or transformation. Her intention is to support people in slowing down, honouring their own pace, and beginning again — gently — each day.
