Hello loves! My name is Lauren Aimée, a Bedford-based Yoga Teacher and movement practitioner.
In 2017 I completed my Yoga Teacher Training during my time studying dance at university in order to unite the fluidity and expressivity of dance with the mindful awareness of yoga.
This is when my passion for free movement began. The opportunity to explore these ideas more creatively presented itself when I progressed on to achieve an MA in Dance, Performance & Choreography.
Over the years, my practice has evolved in what’s now known as my signature style. Although each class is different, you’ll know that as you step on to the mat with me, I’ll be guiding you to take up space, and explore your practice without limitations, without hesitation. Through spoken word, yoga and creative movement, what I create is not just a yoga class – it’s an experience, where the shapes, the movement does not matter, but the feeling does.
My classes are an open invitation to everyone. No matter who you are, this space is for you. Together, we’ll let go of the idea of what movement ‘should’ look like like and instead focus on how it feels within your body. I believe in celebrating the uniqueness of each of us – unlocking the freedom to move, explore, and take up space unapologetically. It’s about honouring the way your body moves and creating a practice that feels empowering and true to you.
Despite coming from a dance and performance background, please do not ever feel the need to ‘perform’ in one of my classes. You don’t need to be a specific size or shape to begin your practice, I encourage you to observe your body and all the wonderful things it can do.
As an avid learner, I always look to expand my Yoga offerings, having now qualified in yin yoga, yoga for children & teens, and more recently yoga for the nervous system, whilst continuing to bring in my dance experience so as to make my classes unique and creative, resulting in classes and workshops of my own design.
As well as exploratory movement, I believe in the magic of voice, and therefore incorporate elements of spoken word and poetry often in to my teachings, allowing new ideas, perspectives and themes to be weaved amongst the practice, enhancing the experience.
In a typical class, you will be guided to listen to your body, listen to the internal sensations and allow them to manifest in movement.
