Join Lauren's Workshops"This training was GREAT! I was able to watch it in little bitty blocks which helped me absorb it pretty well. I LOVED the way Lauren explained childhood trauma in a really accessible way. My mental health counseling Master’s work was in trauma and she was able to translate what this might look when teaching a dance or movement class."
