Lauren

Lauren is a yoga teacher, academic researcher, and writer. She is qualified in Hatha, Restorative, and Peri- and Postnatal Yoga, and likes exploring new approaches and creative sequences. As a mum to two energetic young boys, she knows the calm, focus, and balance that a nourishing yoga practice invites.

Her Yin and Restorative Yoga classes provide the perfect combination of gentle stretches, guided meditation, and restful, restorative poses. She provides a nurturing, welcoming space in which to ease physical tension, find mental clarity, and access a state of calm. Clients often comment on her gentle, soothing voice and her aptitude for enabling deep relaxation.

Lauren respects that every body is different and that the way we feel varies from day to day. She always offers a variety of ways to explore each pose, encouraging students to listen to their own body and take it at their own pace. Peri- and postnatal students are welcome. Her class runs on Sunday evenings.

Sunday evening students describe her class as an oasis in a busy week: warm room, thoughtful props, ambient music, and a teacher who reads the room. Yin builds body awareness while releasing what has been held; there is generous time for rest at the end. People leave feeling deeply cared for, and often say that since practising with Lauren they are no longer afraid to take up space, both physically and metaphorically.
