This Thanksgiving week, Lauren invites you into a gentler, more honest expression of gratitude—not a list, not a platitude, but the embodied art of presence and savoring.
In this solo episode of Deepen Your Yoga Practice, you’ll explore yogic teachings like:
Santoshya – contentment
Ishvara Pranidhana – surrender
Abhyasa & Vairagya – disciplined presence + letting go
️ Pratyahara – withdrawing from overstimulation
Lauren shares personal reflections, seasonal wisdom, and gentle invitations to slow down—especially during the holidays. She also addresses the complexity of Thanksgiving as a holiday, honoring its historical context and encouraging thoughtful land acknowledgment.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
