Root to Rise Yoga with Lauren 🪷🪷

Hiya 👋🏼 I am Lauren, a yoga teacher and psychology educator, moving back to Allestree after 20 years away.

Yoga is more than just a physical practice, in-fact asana (the postures) is only one of 8 “limbs” of yoga. These limbs guide us towards a meditation practice, in the process connecting to our breath, body, thoughts, and ways of living.

Yoga has existed as a meditation, breath and movement practice as well as a guide for life since at least 600BC, yet it is only recently, since the advent of neuroscience and modern medicine, that we have been able to show the lasting beneficial effects of these practices on the brain, nervous system and longevity.

My yoga class will help you to connect with your self, your body and breath, the moment and even your life’s purpose. I have trained in Hatha Yoga for Adults as well as in Trauma Informed Yoga for Teens. I love to bring themes in to my lessons, we explore issues we face in life and work through practices that can be used as and when you need them, day-to-day. I hold space for you to breathe and rest and encourage you to accept your true essence as an individual. You can come messy, tired and exactly as you are to my classes. There is no judgement and the community we create together is more than just your everyday exercise class. All are welcome!

Like the lotus, we can grow through the mud and rise towards the light.
Root to Rise is about grounding yourself, navigating life’s challenges with greater calm and awareness, and growing into a life that feels purposeful, healthy and truly your own.

🌱Root down to the earth; to your self. Grow through adversity. Rise more empowered and content ✨
