Lala Menen (lalalotusswan)
Yoga Teacher in Luton, Bedfordshire
My sessions are designed for modern bodies — those shaped by sitting, screens, stress, injury, or fatigue.
Rather than forcing flexibility or striving for performance, I guide students toward listening, softening, and allowing the body to unwind naturally.
I teach:
• Somatic Release & Stretching – gentle, awareness-based movements that retrain the nervous system and release chronic holding
• Gentle Yoga Flow – slow, mindful sequences focused on breath, ease, and safety
• Yoga Nidra – guided deep rest for nervous system regulation and recovery
• Deep Stretch (Somatic-informed) – not passive pushing, but supported opening and release
My approach is trauma-aware, inclusive, and suitable for beginners, those returning to movement after injury, and anyone feeling tense, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their body.
Students often come to me seeking “stretching” and leave with something deeper: a sense of calm, relief, and renewed trust in their body.
No experience required — just a willingness to slow down and listen.

1 Review on “Lala Menen (lalalotusswan)”
Lala is a gifted teacher with a deeply healing presence and capacity.
I had been suffering from regular headaches and anxiety. My doctor suggested that I try yoga. I did and even though it helped – I still had my symptoms but not as intensely.
A friend recommended Lala’s somatic release yoga sessions, and I am truly amazed at how much better I feel.
I feel as if my life is back to normal again without this constant physical and emotional stress holding on to me and dictating my wellbeing.
