How to work with me…
One of the beautiful things I have discovered about this work is that there are a thousand ways to explore together…
Listed below are just a handful of the ways we can collaborate; however, please do not hesitate to reach out if there is some other format you are looking for. You never know…I might have already thought of it or be considering it and just waiting for the right person!
Private 1-1 Yoga Classes and support (In person or Virtual)
This can be a one-time thing or an ongoing exploration. Depending on my schedule availability; I have a couple slots open for private clients on a weekly basis as well as flexibility for one time theme specific classes.
Here are a few examples from previous sessions:
-Weekly private Yoga class to get more customized and supportive practice in a format that allows you to ask questions, dive deeper, and truly make your practice your own.
-Once a month themed class that you can return to over the following month to support your regular classes or personal at home practice.
-One time “workshop” to explore a particular area of Yoga practice (Using props, an area of specific focus in the body, Meditation basics, etc.)
Private Small Group Yoga Classes (In Person or Virtual)
This offering is for small groups (less than 10) who want to share practice together. Whether it is for your family, your closest friends, your Bridal party, or your Volunteer pals; this small group private class offering allows you to customize a one time or ongoing class to a familiar group of folks.
OTHER WAYS TO WORK WITH ME…
Digital Content
Want to create a kids Yoga class video for your classroom? Looking for a recorded meditation? Want a PDF handout with some Yoga Basics or a short workday desk sequence for the office?
I am a naturally creative individual and love creating content that can support your practice in formats other than live interaction.
Workshops/Retreats/Collaborations
Are you a Wellness practitioner or organization that is wanting to incorporate Yoga into an event, retreat, or program? Do you want to have a Yoga Teacher share in a program or educational seminar? I love collaborating with folks outside the Yoga community to weave practice and philosophy into other arenas or everyday life.
Ongoing Mentorship
At this time, I only have very rare openings for mentorship to folks who are just starting out on their Yoga teaching journey (or are looking to begin establishing a deeper connection after a more sporadic practice). My goal here is to help provide resources, basic understanding, and support as you begin to find your way through the vastly ancient and complex Yoga world. I prioritize folks who are disabled, marginalized, and/or LGBTQIA+
*I am also available to local folks from marginalized communities looking to find resources, access, connections, and support as they enter Teacher Training, or become first time Yoga teachers. I do not charge for this service; but it is dependent on my time availability.
Previous Clients and Students…
“As a disabled, queer, fat person, I feel safe and celebrated in any class with Lauren.
Lauren lives yoga. When I walk into their classes, I’m immediately filled with peace, comfort, and love. There are props aplenty that help me to feel held, supported, and safe to do this practice.
With Lauren, I can slow down. I can connect to my breath through her teachings of pranayama. I can notice parts of myself I’ve never noticed before. And they help me to understand the how and the why of each step.
Lauren is a forever learner, and I firmly believe she is a forever teacher as well. Every time I end class with Lauren, I am filled with a burst of inspiration and excitement, excitement to learn, to listen, and to live.
Lauren’s humility and wisdom are truly a gift to our community, and I deeply appreciate their guidance and teachings.”
“So lucky to have experienced Lauren’s class recently with a small group of wonderful women. My body and mind are both not in the best shape/place so I was a bit apprehensive going into it. Lauren was great to adjust all movements to the different skill sets. I felt great afterward, experiencing an emotional relief like no other. I felt great physically as well! Thanks Lauren for a great class....your demeanor, voice and coaching were just what my body mind and heart needed! ”
“Lauren did an amazing job leading a yoga session the morning of my wedding! It was the perfect way to start my day. She led everyone through a relaxing session that woke up our bodies and opened our minds to allow us to all be very present throughout the day. She knows how to read the class and their skill level perfectly and was able to keep those who practice yoga often engaged while being gentle to the new yogis. She even ended class with a Reiki session which was so thoughtful. Thank you Lauren!! ”
“I took Lauren’s restorative yoga class and it was amazing! Her voice was so soothing and she was very knowledgeable about the practice. She even provided reiki and essential oils while we were in savasana, which was unique and a lovely addition! I’d highly recommend her! You won’t be disappointed.
”
“I would recommend Lauren to anyone! She is such a calming and informative teacher. Her instructions are very clear and accommodated all levels. By the end of the class I felt super relaxed and great all over. She even performed a short Reiki treatment on me when we ended in Savasana. I felt so relaxed and ready to take on my day after her class! ”
“Lauren’s yoga/Reiki class was really fantastic! She has a nice pace and flow and she intuitively knew how much to challenge us to make sure we were engaged but not so much that it seemed too difficult. Her guidance was really helpful and she made us all feel very comfortable! I would absolutely take another class from her in the future.”
