Hi!
I’m Lauren.
I’m a clinical psychologist and yoga teacher of over two decades and the founder of the Yoga Psychology Institute.
After navigating the muddy waters of yoga and psychology for many years, I have found a way that lights me up, is profoundly helpful for my clients and students and is legally and ethically legit.
While we know that yoga can be an effective part of contemporary mental health care, this isn’t always well understood by the systems we work in, so getting clarity on the ethical and legal landscape is important.
But it doesn’t have to scary, promise!

Will I get personalised legal advice in this masterclass?
No, it isn’t possible to give personalised legal advice in a one-hour masterclass. However you will get loads of really helpful information about the ethical and legal considerations that health professionals need to know, and the practical steps they need to take when they bring yoga into the therapy room.
Once you sign up, you will be directed to a form where you can submit your questions, and we will do our best to cover them in the masterclass. If you attend live, there may also be the opportunity to ask questions (time permitting).
