Meet Lauren
“For a long time, I thought that living the life I wanted to live and feeling happy with myself was out of my reach”
_________
Hi, I’m Lauren I’m a Holistic Health and Wellness Coach, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, and Birth Doula located on Long Island. I have dedicated my life to helping people navigate the ups and downs of life and create a toolbox of tools they can continue to go back to when things don’t go as planned.
My passion for wellness and personal development stems from my own journey towards happiness and fulfillment after struggling with depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety for years. After hitting rock bottom I turned to yoga and holistic health practices as a way to heal myself and now I am committed to sharing these tools with others.
My mission
and approach
My mission is to be a supportive guide and resource for others on their journey towards total wellness and personal development, and embarking or currently on the path of yoga. I want to make feeling good accessible, informative, and fun.
My approach to yoga is a holistic and adaptive one, inspired by the lineage of Ashtanga Yoga (eight limb path of yoga) and yoga therapy, where I help make the poses fit to you and find your version of the practice rather than fitting you into a pose. Using the time on the mat and in sessions to practice skills and techniques that you can bring off of the mat and into the world.
I believe that yoga is for all, and my approach emphasizes that everyone can benefit from the practices of yoga, meditation, and mindset shifts. I strive to make my private sessions and group classes inclusive and welcoming. I work via an individual holistic approach focusing on creating a plan and breaking it down into actionable small steps that build up. Together we explore and create a toolbox of tools to empower you to nurture and take care of yourself, to set boundaries, and take steps towards healing your relationship with yourself and those around you, and have you feeling your best.
