Lauren Buckles Yoga

My new online yoga platform for parents and caregivers is live! I created Nestful for busy caregivers who want to practice yoga but struggle to find the time to do it. All classes are prerecorded (ranging from 10-45 minutes) so practice when and how you can!! Take care of yourself to raise mindful kids!

New yoga class! Caregiver Burnout 😴

The last thing you need when you’re burnt out as a caregiver is another thing to do. This 10 minute yoga class is designed for caregivers who are burnt out mentally, physically and/or emotionally. If you are burnt out but you still want to take time to take care of yourself and practice yoga, this class is for you.

Expect to move gently, breathe and re-connect to yourself.

Available for Nestful subscribers! Start your free trial today. Link in bio. 🙏

Hope you find some time to rest and take care of yourself today on this solar eclipse. 🌑

You deserve it. 🖤

hi it’s me! here to remind you that I’m taking a pregnant pause from teaching 🦦 & looking forward to all the potential spring has to offer after the deep insights of winter. 🧊🌱 please reach out if you’re interested in booking workshops, privates or events for the warmer months 🔥or yoga & mindfulness in your school in early autumn. It’s never too early to set sight on what’s available in your future. 👀🏹

Vulnerability is vital and it needs to be validated — especially in our children. In doing so, our kids will feel seen and heard in the whole of their experience. This is the best way to set the foundation for a kind and compassionate life. 📚♥️

Round two of Professional Development for educators at IS 349 Middle School. Today, I presented about the Breathe element, which is the second of the five elements of the teaching methodology. Teachers learned breathing practices for themselves and for their students. Did you know that by breathing slowly in and out of your nose, you engage your parasympathetic nervous system, the system that allows us to rest, heal, grow and learn? Operating from the parasympathetic nervous system gives us full access to our pre-frontal cortex, the part of the brain that we need to operate from in order to see the big picture, understand cause and effect, focus, recall information and even manage our impulses. 🤯🤓 🌬

Had the pleasure of sharing self-care practices and tools for teachers at today’s professional development at IS 349. Thank you for the opportunity! 📚🍎

June Yoga Classes! 🌿
“Adapting is to allow emotional fluidity to dictate the organic flow of synchronicity, connection and magnetism. Adapting to your environment is a great way to practice adapting to anything.” -Lena Stevens via 🦎

The change in season requires us to know what season we are in and to adapt accordingly. One way to become adaptable is to develop good techniques and to engage your senses.

This, from , is so interesting to me. How I define self-care is evolving all the time: saying no, setting boundaries, saying how I feel, deep self-compassion, allowing myself to feel uncomfortable, make mistakes, have messy conversations.. just to name a few. Pretty synonymous with some goals of yoga and mindfulness practice if you ask me. And it’s not separate from community. Life happens in community. So I’ve been starting to ask myself, how does my privilege affect what I practice and what I preach? Communal well being needs to be at the intersection of everything and that means we need to start asking ourselves questions about how we show up for each other in the world. It’s uncomfortable, messy and scary because certain answers may ask me to change my ways, or show how I come up short. If you want to start conversing about it I have a lot to learn and would be happy to hear from you. How do we cultivate communal care? 👥💞 thanks for the insight ⚡️💡
