Yoga With Lauren

I’m teaching a FREE Community workshop this Sunday on BREATHING. This is the number one thing I receive feedback about when teaching yoga - we (understandably) so rarely access our fullest, deepest breath and when we do, we instantly feel the benefits. This Sunday I’ll explain why and introduce you to a handful of different ways to breathe!

Sooner than later.

We must check in with ourselves during these times of inundation with current events and information addiction:

Do I want to continue to build this muscle?

Refreshing. Switching between apps nonstop. Arguing. SCREAMING INTO THE VOID. When we choose to repeat a behavior, we build that muscle. The rut deepens. The tires effortlessly lock into the rut. Off we go again.

Remind yourself - or discover - how it feels to return to the quiet home of your soul.

Allow new solutions to arise - for yourself, for your community, for the collective. Self care benefits EVERYONE.

Join us every Sunday morning at 9:30 at Soundview Center to Flow + Restore

I believe nourishing our bodies, minds and spirits is the foundation for our ability to evolve alongside the world. Being intentional about prioritizing restoration is a remedy to the stress and anxiety that accompany the information overload of our current landscape. Mindful movement and balanced breathing help us create space within ourselves for answers to arise and for action to take place. Join us every Sunday morning to flow and restore - 9:30am at Soundview Center 🌊

Free Community Class on Christmas Day!

11/25/2024

Thank you all for a wonderful month of classes and for sharing space with us for the Beyond The Pose workshop this past weekend! December classes are listed below (with a color theme to honor our purple princess, Linda). In short, classes are every Sunday at 9:30am but I've listed dates here as I know there are often questions about holiday class cancellations. Not here. Yoga never sleeps. Unless we are practicing Yoga Nidra. Enjoy the holiday week and see you Sunday!

🧘‍♀️ After sitting for 4 1/2 years during grad school, my body was hurting and still carrying the stress & trauma of my divorce 6 years before. I needed a major reset and to reconnect with my body & spirit.

It had been years since I casually practiced yoga, but I took a leap and signed up for the week long yoga retreat in Costa Rica with a Marine Corps veteran. Those 7 days changed the course of my life. I found my strength, my connection to self, and my tribe.

11 years later, I'm able to see the science behind my experience, why it regulated my nervous system so profoundly, and why I added Certified Yoga Teacher and Yoga Nidra Facilitator to my toolbox for helping others navigate their journey and find meaning & healing in life.

✨Join Lauren Flynn and me TOMORROW (SAT, 11/23) from 10a-12p to learn about the Science of Yoga. ✨

We'll be sharing the Origins of Yoga, the 8 Limbs of Yoga, Breathwork, Yoga Nidra, and Meditation. You'll get a chance to experience the practice, too, so dress comfy and ready to move a bit.

FREE - NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED

🌈 It's a FREE community workshop through Roots of Wellness - a Healing Circles Langley and Soundview Center project whose objective is to make classes and events available to the community at little to no cost.

Lauren has a passion for guiding others through the personal growth that can be accessed through yoga and meditation. She has used yoga to heal from a pro-wrestling career, three natural disasters and addictions as well as strengthening connections to creativity as a writer. www.laurenflynnyoga.com

A Marine veteran and acupuncturist, Vanessa is drawn to the power of yoga to calm the nervous system and create balance. She collaborates with clients who have mental health issues, trauma, nervous system dysregulation & chronic pain; helping people through transitions; and assisting clients to find balance & heal naturally.

🏠 Located at the Soundview Center 432 Third Street in Langley.

💥 Please arrive between 9:45-10 to get settled for a 10 o'clock start time.

Hope everyone has recovered from the stormy week we've had!

Reminder that we've got our FREE Yoga workshop tomorrow morning, from 10am-Noon at Soundview Center in Langley. This informative class will give you a lot of context for your practice and help you gain more from your practice - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Between Vanessa and I we have a pretty wide scope of complementary knowledge - from the scientific to the mystical, we've got you covered! This will be a great workshop for those of you who are new to yoga as well as those of you who are seeking a little something more but aren't quite sure what.

There's no RSVP needed. The workshop will be mostly information-based but we will be putting a few things into practice so be sure to wear something comfy that you can move in.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

You. Fear is afraid of you. Not that made up you that is the product of your ego and worldly oppression. Fear is afraid of the real you. Your True Self that lives in the vibrational frequencies of the higher chakras. Fear does not survive in the presence of 4th chakra Love and Light. Think about that for a moment. Remember a time when you were so full of Love and Light that all was right with the world. Remember the warmth and hum in your chest? There was no fear during those moments. It wasn’t even a possibility. Fear could not exist anymore than an iceberg surviving in the tropics.

Remembering is the key. Remember you are a Holy Child of the Creator. Remember your power over fear, regardless of the source. Remember that fear is nothing more than a game that human’s created to control each other.

The Vibration Of Fear by Blair Hahn | Nov 9, 2020 | Meditations Fear. I have written about it before. We can always find a reason to be afraid. Perhaps it was originally a defense mechanism that is now out of control. We all carry little devices in our hands that shout fear at us all day long. Fear....

Very excited to present this workshop at the end of the month with Vanessa Cameron of Maven Alchemy. One of the most frequent pieces of feedback I receive about my classes is that I help students understand what yoga is doing and why we do certain things. Focusing on the physical postures is important - it is also beneficial to understand the big picture. Yoga is so much more than a physical practice! Vanessa and I share a passion for leaving no stone unturned when it comes to the WHY and the science of yoga and we have complementary skill sets in our teachings. This will be a very informative workshop for newbies and seasoned practitioners. And it's FREE, through the support of Roots of Wellness, Healing Circles Langley and Soundview Center.
