Who is Laurence Chehab-Fabry?

Laurence Chehab-Fabry: Entrepreneur and Yogini Portrait Photoshoot

Also known as Laurence Nest, Laurence Chehab-Fabry is a yoga teacher with a deep passion for mindful movement, restorative practices, and fostering a more grounded, respectful relationship with the body.

After more than a decade immersed in the world of yoga and wellness, she has developed a teaching approach that is thoughtful, refined, and accessible to all. Her classes encourage students to move away from performance-driven practice and instead cultivate awareness, precision, and presence.

Over time, a clear vision emerged: to create a space fully aligned with her values of quality, comfort, sustainability, and simplicity. That vision became Yoga Nest.

Yoga classes in Geneva, Verbier, and online.

Since 2014, Laurence has been teaching weekly yoga classes in studios in Geneva and Verbier, as well as online. She also leads workshops, retreats, and immersive experiences in Switzerland and internationally.

Her yoga classes are designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Each session is thoughtfully crafted to honour individual pace and needs, support mobility, enhance recovery, and encourage a sustainable long-term practice.

These complementary practices are designed to support a wide range of needs, from relaxation and recovery to improved mobility, stress relief, grounding, and a deeper connection to the body and breath.

Laurence also hosts yoga retreats in Switzerland and France, along with specialised workshops in restorative yoga, Yin Yoga, meditation, and sound therapy, mainly in Geneva and the Valais region.

Yoga Nest: A mindful approach to yoga

In 2021, Laurence Chehab-Fabry founded Yoga Nest to bring together her passions for yoga, teaching, wellbeing, and everyday practice.

Today, Yoga Nest is an online boutique offering thoughtfully curated yoga accessories, wellness products, and ethical brands. More than 25 brands have been carefully selected for their quality, comfort, design, and alignment with the values of yoga.

Through Yoga Nest, Laurence aims to help people create a practice space that feels both inspiring and sustainable, and that naturally fits into daily life.

Yoga Nest embodies a holistic vision of yoga: a way to practise, learn, breathe, restore, and grow at your own pace.

Training, certifications, and expertise

Laurence Chehab-Fabry began her yoga journey in Switzerland in 2010 before deepening her practice in Singapore from 2012 through intensive training. She received her Yoga Alliance certification in 2013 after completing a specialised teacher training in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

For over a decade, she has continued to study with internationally recognised teachers in Yin Yoga, restorative yoga, functional anatomy, mindful movement, breathwork, meditation, and therapeutic sound practices.

Her teaching is rooted in a deep understanding of the body, the nervous system, and practices that support physical and emotional regulation, enriched by more than 1,000 hours of advanced training.

She has trained with respected international teachers including Sarah Powers, Jo Phee, Jill Miller, Adeline Tien, and Arun Rana. With a particular focus on Yin-based practices, she regularly integrates myofascial self-massage and sound healing into her classes.
