Feedback from past students
““Wow, this course was SO interesting. Lauren is the most compassionate human being ever and she knows exactly what she is talking about. She has helped me so much to understand all that women go through during pregnancy and after. I feel so much more aware and connected to my feminine power and I am so excited to help and support women on their own journey. Thank you for everything!” ”
“Lauren’s knowledge and passion for pre & postnatal Yoga could shine through since the very beginning! I liked the sense of community and the connection with the group that was created. Practicing teaching everyday and learning so much about this discipline gave me the confidence of starting teaching prenatal and postnatal classes straight away. It’s unbelievable how much fun we had while learning and studying 😍 highly recommended!!” ”
