Focus on Neurodivergence
​
Lauren’s program is designed specifically for neurodivergent individuals. Unlike traditional yoga classes, which often don’t account for sensory sensitivities, cognitive differences, or unique processing styles, Lauren’s approach **embraces neurodivergence**. She tailors her yoga sessions to honor these differences by creating adaptable, flexible routines that work for a wide range of needs. This makes her classes a **safe, non-judgmental space** for those who may have struggled in typical yoga settings.
Personal Growth and Self-Discovery
​
Hotbox Yoga isn't just about the physical postures; it’s about **finding your soul’s home**. Lauren weaves her "Finding Your Soul’s Home" 5-step program into the yoga practice, making it a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation. She guides her students through self-reflection, emotional healing, and crafting a vision for their lives. It’s not just about fitness—it’s about creating a life that feels aligned with who you truly are. This deepens the mind-body connection, something rarely seen in typical yoga classes.
Holistic, Customizable Approach
Lauren’s program is highly personalized, recognizing that each person’s path to wellness is unique. She tailors both the yoga sequences and cannabis integration to each student’s personal needs, whether they’re seeking physical relief, mental clarity, or emotional release. This holistic, adaptive approach makes her stand out as a teacher who isn’t just offering a one-size-fits-all program but is creating a tailored experience for each individual.
Balanced Spiritual and Practical Approach
Lauren balances the spiritual aspects of yoga with a grounded, practical approach. Her teaching isn’t just esoteric or abstract; it’s real-life applicable. She makes sure that the benefits of her program are not only felt during the sessions but that they can be taken into daily life—whether it's in managing stress, staying focused, or finding balance. This combination of spirituality and practicality is something that sets her apart from more traditionally-focused yoga teachers.
Cannabis Integration for Therapeutic Benefits
​
Lauren is one of the few yoga teachers to **mindfully integrate cannabis** into the practice, helping participants achieve deeper relaxation, heightened focus, and enhanced self-awareness. She goes beyond the surface by educating her students on safe cannabis consumption, dosage, strain selection, and how to align their use with their specific goals. This creates a **holistic wellness experience** that’s unmatched in most other yoga programs.
Inclusive, Supportive Community
​
Lauren fosters an environment that goes beyond individual practice to focus on building a community where neurodivergent individuals feel understood, supported, and celebrated. Her students connect with each other over shared experiences, which builds a network of support that extends beyond the yoga mat. This community aspect is crucial and is something not emphasized enough in other yoga programs.
Empowerment through Education
Many yoga teachers focus solely on the practice, but Lauren goes further by educating her students on how to maintain their progress outside of class. She provides tools and knowledge on cannabis use, breathwork, mindfulness, and goal-setting, empowering her students to take control of their well-being and implement these practices in their daily lives. This level of empowerment makes her students active participants in their own transformation.
In sum, Lauren Laker isn’t just teaching yoga—she’s offering a transformative experience. Her unique blend of neurodivergent inclusivity, cannabis integration, personal growth, and community support makes her approach groundbreaking and highly relevant to today’s diverse wellness needs.
