Ways to Work Together
Whatever brought you here whether it’s anxiety, a new diagnosis, pregnancy, a desire to finally have a practice that's actually yours, or to support a loved one..there's a way for us to work together that fits your life.
All of my work is personalized, adaptive, and rooted in the same thing: helping you build real tools you can actually use. On the mat and off it.
Private Yoga Sessions
Private sessions are my favorite way to teach. In a group class, so much gets lost like your history, your nervous system, your anatomy, and the way you actually learn. Private sessions are adaptive, trauma sensitive, and built around you specifically. It's just us, and we build something that fits and evolves as we go.
Whether you're brand new to yoga and don't know where to start, working through anxiety or a mental health journey, neurodivergent and looking for something adaptive, navigating an injury or physical limitation, or an experienced practitioner ready to go deeper: this is for you.
Sessions are available in person at my Massapequa studio, in your home in Nassau County, or virtually for clients within approximately 6 hours of Eastern Time
Sessions start at $80 — see full pricing below.
Long Island + Virtual
Adaptive Yoga
Inclusive, neurodivergent-affirming,
and trauma sensitive
Yoga is for everyone, but not every yoga class is built that way. This one is.
I work with neurodivergent individuals, people with autism, ADHD, and other developmental and intellectual disabilities, as well as those navigating anxiety, sensory sensitivities, and mental health challenges. My approach is adaptive, trauma sensitive, and entirely shaped around the person in front of me.
That means nothing is forced. We move at your pace. You are always in control of your own experience. Sessions are built around your nervous system, your sensory needs, and what actually feels good and accessible for your body and mind that day.
Private sessions are available one on one, in a space that feels safe and predictable. In person at my Massapequa studio, in your home, or virtually.
Sessions start at $80 — Self Pay and Self Direction billing available. See full pricing below.
A note on funding:
I am an approved Self Direction service provider and handle direct billing, which means many families pay little to nothing out of pocket. Self Direction covers a wide range of disabilities. Not sure if you or your family member qualifies? Reach out and I will help you figure it out with your coordinator.
"I was looking for a local yoga instructor to run a group session for students with special needs. Lauren was calm and understanding of the needs of the group, which were exceedingly diverse. As the kids settled in, it was clear they could all do yoga and Lauren made it accessible to them."
And the results?
"We loved yoga." "I can do yoga!"
"Look! I'm doing tree!"
-Lisa, Long Island Special Education Teacher
Prenatal Yoga &
Birth Doula Support
Pregnancy and birth are some of the most intense nervous system experiences a person moves through. Having breath, presence, and real tools in your corner changes everything about how you meet those moments.
As both a prenatal yoga teacher and birth doula, my work lives at the intersection of movement, nervous system regulation, and steady human support. Whether you are looking for weekly prenatal yoga sessions, comprehensive birth preparation, hands-on doula support through labor and postpartum, or all of the above: I have options for every level of support.

Speaking & Wellness Events
Schools, healthcare settings,
and wellness days
I bring yoga, mindfulness, and nervous system tools into spaces that need them most like schools, hospitals, behavioral health units, and workplace wellness programs.
My work in this space has included wellness days for middle and high school students and staff, mindfulness and nervous system regulation workshops for educators, yoga and movement sessions for hospital staff in behavioral health units, and school assembly programming focused on resilience and self-regulation tools.
Each engagement is customized to your audience and setting. I show up, get in the room with your people, and give them something they can actually use right now, and in their daily life.
Topics include:
Nervous system regulation tools for educators and healthcare staff
Mindfulness and movement for students
Yoga and breathwork for stress relief, anxiety management, and support of mental health
Resilience and stress management tools for teams
Custom programming based on your community's needs

What clients
have to say:
“Lauren is very skilled and it is evident that she has great experience. She has a very soothing way about her- patient and open in modifying anything within the practice. I’ve done prenatal yoga/meditation with her; and she has truly guided me throughout my pregnancy beyond just the scheduled session. She has provided me with skills on how to breathe better and ease any anxieties that come with pregnancy. I’ve grown through her private classes and I’m truly thankful for all her help, guidance, positive energy, and support.
I would describe Lauren’s teaching style as Calm, direct, and thoughtful. I highly recommend working with Lauren. She helps with achieving overall wellness and I can’t say enough positive things about the work and transformation that can be done!”

“Lauren has been my teacher since I first started practicing Ashtanga yoga 2 years ago. I have nothing but great things to say. She is an excellent teacher and has helped me better my practice since day one. I would describe Lauren’s teaching style as patient and persistent.I always find myself wanting more. Yoga has provided my mindset with clarity and has shaped me (literally) for the better and that’s what keeps me motivated to keep practicing.”
