Yoga Testimonials
"So I started attending your yoga class six months ago and I’m forever grateful for it!! The benefits it’s had on my mind and body is crazy, I feel stronger and especially a lot more flexible. 100% I’ve noticed the difference since starting yoga, my training is better and my recovery is better and overall I just feel amazing! Your yoga class is that one hour a week I need and always look forward too."
"As a beginner and a very anxious person, I was nervous that I would look out-of-place and that perhaps I wouldn't be able to participate in all aspects of the practice, but Lauren made me feel immediately at ease and those worries were soon a distant memory! She is kind, warm, affable and most importantly supportive of any keen yoga-goer from beginner to advanced, with instruction and options sprinkled throughout the practice to ensure everybody feels included. After 6 months I now couldn't imagine my weeks without the practices. It brings a calm and a peace for my mind, but with the added benefit that my body is also benefitting with movement and strength that it hasn't had previously! You never leave a practice without feeling your gratitude cup has been filled and that you could move mountains!"
"Lauren's yoga has been the first place ive felt comfortable in the practice. I started as a beginner having dabbled here and there before. I've stuck with it and slowly its become a necessity for me. My core strength and joint health have become so strong, I believe this prevents injuries at work and in my sports. Even after having suffered knee injuries. I agree with the mental health benefits too, i believe the respect you give your self by making this a staple part of your life can quieten your mind, calm your ego, and help you to be responsive not reactive in life. Laurens attitude, style, and playful personality is what has kept me returning. I admire Lauren."
"Myself and my husband have been going to Lauren's yoga classes for the last 6 months and we just love them.
No matter how chaotic my day's been, as soon as the lights are dimmed, I roll out my mat and hear Lauren's gentle instruction a calm washes over me.
I may not be the bendiest or most steady in my balances but I love the challenge and always feel better for the time spent trying. My strength, flexibility, breathing and focus is definitely improving and I'm finding that helping me in all my other forms of exercise and life in general. Looking forward to my next class already. Thanks Lauren, you rock🎉"
"So I'm roughly 8 months into my 'Yoga Journey' and despite the obvious benefits of increased full body mobility and flexibility (unbelievable) and the mental clarity gained I've discovered a new passion. I would encourage anyone to give it ago and you'll be surprised of the benefits that can be attained 🧘♂️"
"I was in a bit of a low point in my life and needed to change my outlook on life. I decided I needed to have a more involved gym to get back to what I enjoy doing and to keep my mind and body active. My first point of development was my mind, so yoga seemed like a natural thing to try and help with this. Lauren was welcoming from the get go and instilled an ethic of an intrinsic journey, focusing on yourself not other people's abilities.
She is able to conduct and control a class of different numbers, abilities and genders perfectly. Making you feel supported enough to push yourself but also feel safe enough to make mistakes. Physically I feel myself improving my strength, flexibility and balance which in turn is improving all parts of my life. I couldn't speak highly enough of Lauren and Empowerment Gym for providing this area of fitness available to all. It has done wonders for me personally and I can see it getting more popular each week as its significance is becoming more widely appreciated."
"I’ve been to Lauren’s yoga classes at Empowered since they started last year and I absolutely love them. The hour long session focuses on traditional yoga positions and each week the flows change to keep the class interesting. Lauren is a breath of fresh air, she welcomes new and existing yogis with a warm smile and gives a number of options for poses making them truly accessible to all. I’ve learnt a lot about the importance of breath through Lauren’s practice and really enjoy hearing positive affirmations during the relaxing wind down at the end of every session. Thank you Lauren for showing me how to embrace yoga and breath practice in my frantic day to day life."

"My movement practice began at a young age, through a range of physical disciplines including dance, bungee assisted dance, vertical wall training, yoga, pilates, martial arts and sport. I have taken dance classes on a weekly basis for 30 years now. I am interested in the mind and body connection, play, and a variety of approaches to training. As I continue to explore my own movement vocabulary, I want to empower others to live active and creative lives. I have years of teaching experiences working with people of all ages, levels of experience, and abilities. I meet clients where they are at, teach the fundamentals to move well through my own unique and approach. I am a massive advocate of learning the basics, going back to basics regularly, looking after your body, being kind to yourself, safe practice and building a life long relationship with your movement practice. In doing so, it will impact all areas of your life. If you are based in the Wirral or Liverpool, and have any questions, please email tuckshopdancetheatre@gmail.com to find out more about how I can help you." Lauren Tucker
