Meet All Teachers

I tend to believe everything happens for a reason. Growing up as a constant mover and shaker, I played numerous sports and always seemed to have had too much energy for both my teachers and parents. While pregnant with my first child, I drifted away from the one thing that consistently lead me towards a more balanced state, frequent and consistent movement. After birthing each of my 3 babes, I did revisit my natural desire to get moving yet found it inconsistent due to the constant pressures of new motherhood.

After taking her first yoga class as a way to relieve anxiety and stress, Lauren knew this would become a life long practice. She received her certification from Prana Power Yoga NYC and is grateful for her Prana family. She teaches a heartfelt Vinyasa flow focusing on building strength, breath control, and proper  alignment. She encourages self expression, acceptance, listening to one's body, and finding the true teacher in all of us.

Lauren Reese,  E-RYT and Certified Yoga Tune Up® Teacher has been involved in group fitness for over 19 years. She started with teaching aerobics, weight training classes, and triathalons.  After several injuries, Lauren found herself in pain. Frustrated – because even though she was “fit” her body was always hurting – she turned to yoga to find strength and healing for her injuries. Yoga not only helped her feel better physically, but yoga also taught her the importance of balance, both literally and figuratively.

Join me for various Yoga styles, and Myofascial self-massage (Roll Model®) weekly classes & workshops, taught in English & French.

What I'm passionate about in teaching yoga is to share with and learn from my students. My priority is to guide them towards a deeper understanding of their bodies (physical, energetic and mental) so that they can improve their well-being in everyday life and their balance for all years to come. I discovered yoga in Switzerland in 2010 and it is when living in Singapore from 2012 to 2018 that this practice has become fundamental for me. 
Certified Yoga Alliance Instructor since 2013, I was fortunate to take part in Asia & elsewhere to over 700 hours of training and had the privilege to deepen my understanding of Yin yoga and meditation with Sarah Powers and Jo Phee, Yoga Therapy with Arun Rana, Restorative yoga with Adeline Tien. Passionate about the Myofascial Release technique and convinced of its many benefits, I have studied this matter from several sources and I'm glad to be one of the happy few Yoga Tune Up® certified teachers in Switzerland. I often include YTU Therapy Balls in Yin yoga sequences and of course in Yoga Tune Up® classes.

She is especially excited to share the self-care principles of Yoga Tune Up® and The Roll Model® Method which bring heightened awareness to what the body needs to operate at its very best.

Certifying as a Yoga Tune Up teacher taught me many things. I learned the basics in movement and anatomy which was missing from other yoga trainings I had taken in the past, I also learned to think outside the box so I could become more creative as a teacher.  The most important take away was my renewed love of learning!  The YTU certification and the Immersions stirred up curiosity and awakened a passion for asking the 'whys' and 'hows' of movement in yoga classes and beyond.
