“Your curiosity and eagerness to learn is contagious, Laurence Roufart, an inspiration for us to keep trying to reach our best! It all starts with Ball Pilates, our new training companion and best friend to our backs. Retirement gave us the time and Thanyapura the place to learn more about self care. Now we are exploring and practising yoga while strengthening every day. Thanks for your cheerful encouragement, we will be back :-)”
Testimonials
“Loved the Pilates class with Lolo (Laurence). She uses the mini stability ball, which makes the exercises gentle on the back and at the same time fun to do. Great happy atmosphere with Lolo, she is amazing! Definitely coming back!”
“This is a very good sports venue. I love the swimming pool and yoga classes here. Laurence is a very professional yoga instructor.”
“All my time in Phuket, I became a member of Thanyapura just because of Kru Laurence's yoga classes, including Pilates, Rhythmic Yoga, Yin Yoga, Vinyasa, and Hips, Shoulders and Mobility Flow. I joined all her classes throughout the week and enjoyed every one. Her warm welcome to all yogis, the music and atmosphere she sets, her clear instructions and kind, patient guidance to each individual make every class special and enjoyable. No matter your level of practice, you will not regret joining her classes. Highly recommend.”

“I would like to give a big round of applause for Laurence Roufart, the yoga and Pilates teacher at Thanyapura. I am a regular member and enjoy tremendously her classes. She is very competent and is always very well prepared. The classes are very interesting as she is always adding new exercises and new postures. She is attentive to the students and always suggests variations for the level of everyone. She is very enthusiastic, dynamic and very smiley. I am always looking forward to going to her classes. Congratulations!”
“I have been attending Lolo's mat Pilates class for 2 years. She is one of the best mat Pilates teachers I have ever had. Her class is never boring, and suitable for all levels and ages. She will teach one movement but with variations to suit different levels and different abilities. Her knowledge of the anatomy of the body is amazing. Whenever I have an issue with my body, she shows me different movements to stretch and strengthen that muscle. She is a great gem in Phuket.”
“Since I (59) started Pilates with Laurence in the beautiful setting of Life Balance, I don't want to miss my weekly class anymore. I even did an inspiring sound healing session too for the first time. Also, a great opportunity to make new friends.”
“Classes with Laurence are the highlights of my week! Her positive energy creates such a warm and welcoming environment. The movements always feel right, with such a beautiful flow in every session. I leave every class feeling stronger and completely energized. Thank you, Laurence.”
