Lauren Aimée - Yoga, Movement, Macramé

Bedford based Yoga Teacher and movement practitioner celebrating free movement and body diversity th Hi! Through this I developed my Yogance Playshops. x

My name is Lauren Aimée and I am a Yoga teacher and movement practitioner based in Bedfordshire, UK. I have a passion for free movement, which began when I was dancer at University of Lincoln. Whilst studying, I completed my Yoga Teacher Training in 2017 (Bahia Yoga Studios) to investigate how I can unite the fluidity and expressivity of dance, with the mindful awareness of Yoga. I progressed on to achieve an MA in Dance, Performance & Choreography (University of Bedfordshire) where I was able to explore these ideas more creatively. I love to experiment within the realms of moving unconsciously, improvisation using the senses and thinking with the body. 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. Learning to let go of what that movement might look like but observing how it feels. Yogance is a practice, not only for dancers, but for anyone who want to move. It combines the focus, alignment and structure of the asanas with the freedom, expressivity and fluidity of dance. Mixing this with music allows us to explore what it is like to move from within. This has also since been condensed in to a weekly Mindful Flow class, my signature class where we explore these themes on a smaller scale. No dance experience is required, I simply encourage my students to move and express how they are feeling, I am there merely as a guide. Nowadays, I continue my movement research, but whilst also making it accessible for everyone. My classes are open to ALL. Every shape, age, race, gender. Everyone is welcome and I strive to provide an inclusive environment. I’m a firm advocate of body positivity. You don’t need to be a specific size or shape to begin your practice, and I encourage all to observe your body and all the wonderful things it can do. Have I convinced you enough to join a class yet? Message me to get involved! Hope to see you on the mat soon!

I was always going to be spending this new years alone, and I’d made peace with that (after a teensy freak out at the fact my parents revealed to me that they had made plans and I was the only one that hadn’t) - I cooked up a few ideas of escaping to a countryside Airbnb, or heck spending 24hours in Paris or Amsterdam or something equally as iconic…

But after battling through the most horrendous few weeks of illness after illness after illness, it was clear I needed to stay closer to home, in my cosy sacred safe space 💜

And tbh, it ended up being iconic in its own way. I got the whole year to spend time abroad and stay in airbnbs and live life loudly, I don’t need to do it all just because it’s NYE. I think I always felt I needed to be ‘seen doing something’ - to be seen living and doing all the things maybe to prove a point that I could (mostly to myself). But perhaps the point I needed to prove to myself this time around it’s that I simply don’t have to 🦋

Happy New Year everyone, thank you for all the love, well wishes and support sent, I’ll be back on my feet soon 🫶🏼

what are you most proud of this year? 🦋🫶🏼

for me, it’s probably getting this gorgeous bunch of humans together who were willing to participate in this video idea hehe!

but how WONDERFUL?!

as a community space holder, and I’m sure .wellbeing will agree with me here, I am so privileged in the fact I get to witness little insights in to your lives, the things your working on, the moves your making, the effort you are pouring in, I honestly love learning about you all. But what I very rarely see is you all celebrating all the things you do, the things you’ve accomplished and the wonderful souls you all are!

So what better way to do exactly that eh?

Our Christmas celebration was so so special ✨ a chance for us to give back to you lovely lot and recognise everything we’ve achieved together 🥂

Thank you thank you thank you, and roll on more joy in 2026! 🦋

this bunch of hooligans have a firm place in my heart 😌🫶🏼

im so gutted to have missed our final session of the year where I had all good intentions to don my best Christmas jumper & socks, & frolic around like a lil festive fairy whilst delivering some yoga goodness to them all, but my immune system had other plans 😣

I’ll be back with these guys in 2026 and I already can’t wait!

“echo” 🫶🏼

oooft this one holds a special place for me. a true story of how I silenced my creative voice because I simply wasn’t the ‘writer’ in a particular dynamic. I was the ‘dancer’, the ‘yogi’…

which i thought I was happily content with

until I realised I wasn’t

which then resulted in a final conversation. one in which I realised I was no longer content to be placed in a small box, left in the hallway next to the dirty shoes they’d kick off and leave strewn on the floor

turns out in that final conversation I had a lot to say ✍️🫶🏼

“people pleasers” 😌 had this in my locker a while so I hope you enjoy!

p.s. it bugs me that nothing really rhymes with ‘rebellion’ but I really wanted to include it somewhere hehe

LIVE ONLINE CLASSES start this week!

huns, your wednesday mornings are about to get so soft 🤍

every weds, 8–8:30am, i’m going live on patreon for a gentle midweek practice - stretching out the sleepy edges, breathing a little deeper, and giving yourself that much-needed pause before the day really begins.

i get it. winter makes it so much harder to leave our cosy homes and head to an in-person class. so i’ve curated the perfect antidote: warm, grounding, in your pjs yoga that meets you exactly where you are…

these live classes are in addition to a brand new recorded class dropping every monday - your winter wellness wrapped up in a weekly rhythm ✨

and yes… all of this is guiding us towards something extra dreamy happening this december 👀 a little winter solstice moment you might want to keep your eyes on!

join the full access tier (£15) to join the live classes + get the full library of yoga, meditations, visualisations & extra podcast eps! 🦋

let’s make your winter mornings feel like a warm exhale 😮‍💨
