Lauren Blandin

Lauren Blandin is an integrative somatic health practitioner and founder of Fertility Yoga. She fuses the ancient practices and wisdom of the East with the modern-day Western science of medicine to support the unique and delicate needs of the fertility journey.

While undergoing her own fertility treatments, Lauren identified a gap in the knowledge and resources available between the medical and yogic communities. She took her two decades of training in yoga and Eastern practices and combined it with her training in medicine to develop a method that is safe to practice while undergoing egg stimulation and integrates one’s mind, body and spirit to cultivate embodied ease throughout the fertility journey and beyond.

The mind/body connection are indisputable. The mind influences the body and the body influences the mind. Lauren’s approach emphasizes safety in the body while cultivating self inquiry, awareness and compassion to help modulate nervous system regulation and enhance coping mechanisms throughout stressful times. These timeless tools bring alignment from within, create a sense of ease and well being within oneself, and promotes harmony in day to day relationship with others.

Lauren’s journey of somatics and self-discovery began as a professional ballet dancer. While her work now focuses with those on the fertility journey, she also has two decades of extensive training and experience as a yoga and massage therapist specializing in orthopedic conditions and musculoskeletal pain management and recovery. Trained in the Asthanga and Iyengar lineages under Maty Ezraty and Gabriel Halpern and as a dedicated Vipassana meditator, she teaches beginner and seasoned practitioners.

Lauren is a doctoral candidate at Columbia University and is a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner.
