Yoga with Lauren

Please join us each Tuesday from 9:30-10:45am for  in-person or virtual group classes at 309 N Ashland Ave. Suite 180.  We will explore a smooth blend of strong standing postures, ecstatic movement, restorative poses, kundalini (life force energy) kriyas (a sweet combo of chanting, meditation, asana, and breathwork), and deep rest. 

We will develop our core strength, vitality, and self awareness. The more we practice, the stronger, more balanced, and healthier we will become. During our practice and in the days following, it is normal to experience an array of sensations. This is simply a matter of our brain, nervous system, and entire being responding to the increased flow and shifts in our energy, fluids, and systems of the body. 

Modifications and props are available depending on the day and your level of experience.

And please join us for community breathwork twice a month on Thursdays and Saturdays at our South Mill location in Lexington! - The next one is August 16th 10:30-12pm. We also offer one on one yoga, coaching, and private group sessions by appointment. Please be aware we do have a flight of stairs to climb.

My Personal Why…

I took my first yoga class in 1997 when I lived in New York for a short time. I loved it and felt so pleased that I could “do” all the poses yet woke feeling awful the next day. Years later I realized my flexibility had allowed my body to make the shapes but I lacked the core strength to hold them with integrity. But I didn’t give up, just took a little break.

Following that first yoga class, I got into the martial art of Aikido (The Way of Harmony) as well as Tai Chi, Trager Work and other movement practices. These provided a profound re-entry into my body and eventually led me to a different style of yoga that felt more aligned with my body’s special needs. Thankfully there are so many disciplines and approaches to choose from in this vast sea of movement modalities.

I’m a curious explorer and scientist so I need to understand things for myself. Yoga has always felt like an ongoing creative experiment and a literal life saver many times over.

Yoga has helped me to get to know myself and better manage my breath, emotions, changing body, and remain present through life challenges and transitions including pregnancies, births, parenting, divorce, C-PTSD recovery, neurodivergence, car accidents, and numerous conditions related to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (extreme hypermobility), and most recently peri-menopause. And I’m really happy to be able to say that I love and enjoy and feel much better in my body these days.

I am eternally grateful for all of my teachers and the evolution of my daily practice as I continue to explore more within myself and with my students. It would be my honor to have the opportunity to share these practices with you.
