“I can highly recommend ‘Yoga with Lauren’. Lauren always explains how the posture and breathing can benefit your body and mind in everyday life and this is very useful in being able to take the practice beyond the weekly class and into everyday life. This has been particularly helpful during a period of time in my life where I have suffered from anxiety. Lauren is welcoming, friendly and has such a relaxing voice! Thank you so much for your wonderful classes.” GM 24/2/2020
“Lauren’s yoga is what I’d imagined yoga to be like, dynamic yet relaxing, a very good mix of movements and very well instructed classes. Her voice is calming so learning is very easy. A good range of places & times of classes means it is easy with a full working week. I have no doubt that a large variety of new people will find Yoga with Lauren very enjoyable and a very good addition to a healthy lifestyle.” PGDA 23/2/2020
“I have been attending Lauren's classes for a few years now and she is an excellent teacher who builds on her knowledge and experience each year. I have an issue with mobility in my hip and Lauren has always been very supportive in suggesting alternative positions when needed and taking time to talk to met if I have any questions. I really enjoy the mix of more dynamic flows and relaxing breathing techniques as well as the opportunity to just take some time out from a busy life. I'm yet to make it to a longer workshop and would very much like to when time permits, however, I would highly recommend Lauren's yoga classes.” JK 24/2/2020
“I have attended your classes for over three years now. The ambience in the classes is calm, inclusive and facilitates being fully present. You continue to demonstrate asanas in an ego-free way.
I enjoy the sequencing and pace of your classes. They instruct me in the need for persistence, patience and self-compassion. I like the way you vary the postures in classes but also value repetition of familiar postures. Also repetition enables me to be more meditatively absorbed. I also like the way you do not over-emphasise "peak postures" or always going as far as possible into postures.
I really enjoy the pranayama exercises particularly at the end of some classes. Having both energised and relaxed the body, finishing with pranayama is conducive to a deep calm meditative state. Finally I like the way in which you sequence classes with combinations of asanas that promote strength and flexibility.
From my own teaching experience, I know how hard it is to teach mixed ability groups of students. You succeed in providing something for everyone and teach to people's varied strengths.” PS 25/10/2019

“I have been to several of Lauren’s workshops now. They are a real treat - calm, friendly and nurturing. Feels wonderful. She has a lot of knowledge about how to modify poses if you have a previous injury. And she makes the most amazing cakes and energy balls!” CN 7/4/2019
“Lauren's classes are a wonderful experience. I have attended 2 classes a week for about 18m now and have marvelled at how her dynamic sequencing, delivered with calm, clear precision has quietly transformed my yoga practice. I would highly recommend.” NM 3/11/2018
“This was my first time in a yoga class and I have to say it was actually quite amazing. More challenging than I ever gave yoga credit for but worth every minute. Lauren made it really enjoyable and the whole lesson flowed really well. After a physical week at work my body was definitely thankful for these classes.” TB 25/11/2018
“I've always been an avid gym bunny who always did fast paced, high intensity workouts. But after recently having my 5th baby I decided to try something different. I'm so glad I did. The class was great. No pressure to perform challenging poses. It was relaxing, soothing and also tough in a way I would never have imagined. I walked home like a floating cloud. I am definitely hooked now. Thanks Lauren.” CC 17/8/2018
