Instructors

Lauren Searson-Patrick

I discovered yoga about 15 years ago when I tried my hand at what was, to me, an unknown practice in a local community hall. That single session started a relationship I didn’t realise I needed – with myself. The practise of bringing together my mind and body had, and continues to have, a profound impact on me physically, emotionally and spiritually.

My practice has fluctuated across those 15 years but I always found myself called back into a steady rhythm, and have consistently felt better and stronger for doing so. Over the last number of years, I have wanted to dive more deeply into yoga but it never felt like the right time (cue mention of work, kids and general life busyness). But the last two years or so, the yearning to be more ‘me’ just got louder – I wanted to be mindful of all the appropriate things, but I wanted to be more ‘wildful’ too. And so I started two things: writing and publishing novels, and yoga teacher training.

For me, yoga is about connecting with the fire within and extending that warmth to the world around us. Wherever you are on your own yoga and ‘wildful’ journey, I’ll meet you there.
