Recharging Flow
Melanie SchwankA gentle, Level 1, 30-minute yoga class led by Lauren, this option is ideal for both beginners and advanced yogis. Focus is on stress relief and relaxation, as well as basic movements, well-roundedness, and sleep improvement. The session involves a number of basic standing postures, and does not feature as many vinyasas as other Yoga Collective classes. Begin standing at the top of the mat and take a few minutes to focus on the breath. Lauren has practitioners engage in folding and salutation movements to get the muscles warm and the breath steady. A perfect class to relax you after a long, stressful day at work or any time you feel tension mounting, Lauren offers easy, detailed instruction to ensure you float through this practice with extra ease and grace. Use the class to center yourself, and because it’s only 30 minutes, you can enjoy it and get what you need without sacrificing a lot of time.

Lauren was born and raised in Los Angeles. She began practicing yoga as a college student at UCLA to help integrate physical movement with her work as a storyteller. After falling in love with yoga she took her first teacher training and began teaching soon after. She feels so blessed to share yoga as an empowering practice that moves with you off the mat and into your life.
