🦋🌊🧿 yoga instructor + student 🌞🌺✨

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hi! My name is Lauren Santagata and here my posts will focus mainly on yoga, along with my weightlifting progress, exploring studios and modalities of movement.

I only started practicing yoga a few months before I decided to enroll in a 200-hour Vinyasa yoga training. I started practicing yoga because I won a free giveaway to a studio—it was completely new to me at the time! (And now I teach there 😌) I was looking for something new and different in my life, and after talking to a few instructors about their experiences, I wanted to try and go for it. I graduated in December 2022 (picture is from that happy day) and did not start teaching until about a year and a half after. I didn’t put myself out there right away I think because I still wanted to learn more from my own practice and I had imposter syndrome for sure. (still do most days)

Now, I’m an instructor but definitely still a student at heart. I feel the best part of starting this journey is that I’m constantly learning from other instructors. So currently, I feel like a good instructor, but not a great one yet. I know I’ll continue to grow, and this page will be here for myself and others to look at and see.

I created this page as a personal diary, a place to document my progress in instructing, different poses, share the flows I come up with, and hopefully, provide a little inspiration to others. Thanks for following!

Yin yoga creates the space to slow down, and it’s where I love offering hands-on adjustments the most. Helping students release hidden tension and melt heavy into stillness is so rewarding.

Come catch a deep reset with me!

Tried the $79 10-day intro at STRONG Pilates and had so much fun! ✨ The studio is so bright and beautiful. I gravitated toward the classic Pilates and strong Pilates classes over the heavy loaded/weights formats. Once my 10 days are done, I’ll still be dropping in here and there! 🤍 by @alignwithlaur

Taking a moment to express genuine gratitude for the lovely yogis @glowonmainstudio 💛

To anyone who has ever taken the time to leave a review: thank you a hundred times over. It helps me grow and helps others find my classes but most of all, I just love hearing from you.

Everyone’s experience on the mat matters so much to me. With me I hope practice isn’t just about escaping for an hour but it’s about having fun and moving in a way that truly feels good for you. I hope my classes give you the opportunity to let go and shed any overanalyzing thoughts. I want you to leave with a deeper sense of presence and grounding all while feeling your absolute best. My biggest hope is that every time you leave your mat, you know you always have an opportunity to start fresh.

Thank you for sharing your practice with me and supporting what I do! by @alignwithlaur
