Namaste, I'm Lauren McLean, a wife and mother of three and in my mid 40’s. I've been practicing Yoga and Pilates for over 15 years, starting before my first child (now 13). I understand the needs of women to continually take time out for themselves, but also work on creating much needed strength and vitality through movement practices such as yoga and pilates.

As our body ages, we need to find practices that bring us into harmony, balance our hormones, keep our mind balanced and focused, and reduce cortisol (stress hormone). I keep falling in love again and again with Yoga and Pilates as my main means of keeping my body strong, my mind centred and a most of all offering a deep connection to the Divine and space to feel something deeper inside.

I found Yoga at a time my life where I was struggling with some deep issues and trauma and this practice came in at just the right time. It’s funny how Yoga seems to find you, not the other way around. I started practicing yoga for the personal transformation it was offering me, and found this practice hitting the deepest level of my soul. It then became a regular practice for me.

I have owned and run studios in the past. Taking time off between babies/children to offer them what they need, I now offer sacred classes at my own Shala in Tallebudgera. Classes that offer deep nurturing, healing, and physical work. My classes blend vinyasa which is a powerful and strong style of yoga for a strong challenge, while Slow flow and Yin provide time to restore and let our nervous system rest and digest, and Pilates offers a way of workout like nothing else.

If you are a woman that is struggling, or doing other exercise means and not getting results, or even having the opposite effects, I invite you to come and explore what we offer here. It will truly transform you from the inside out.

I hope all women take some time to feel how these practices can help them as they move through the twist and turns of the life you have been put here to create.
