About Me

I began my syudy of Yoga at the age of 15, I was training to be a dancer at the time and was advised to start the practice of yoga otherwise I may incur injury. With the aid of regular Yoga practice I completed a three year professional dance training course and graduated with a BA (Hons) Degree in Jazz Dance and Theatre Studies from London Studio Centre - The University of the Arts London.
Yoga became a big part of my life after that and slowly began to take over. 
I travelled to India to study under the instruction of Lalit Kumar at Himalaya Yoga Valley and completed the 200 hour Teacher Training Course in March 2014. I trained in India as the roots of yoga are deeply imbedded within it's society, something that will never leave me.
Yoga is not only a physical practice to stretch and balance the body but a wonderful way to calm the mind and soothe the spirit.
I carry the teachings of Indian life with me everyday and practice kriyas (cleansing practices) in the morning, a subject I'm always happy to shed a little light on.
Since graduating from Himalaya Yoga Valley I have travelled through India and South East Asia teaching at hostels, on the beach and by a river on Hampi Island in central India. I cannot guarantee  these wonderful settings for my classes but hopefully I can help you access your inner paradise.

What style of Yoga do you teach?
In the last six years my teaching has evolved into a form of Hatha Yoga known as Anusara Yoga with a strong focus on finding the happiness in the everyday. My classes are lighthearted and inclusive, enabling all practitioners to enjoy the practice whether vastly experienced or complete beginners. More recently I have begun Aerial Yoga Classes, a style of yoga that is as fun as it is challenging. My Classes always include Meditation, Pranayama, Asana and Savasana.

What do my yogi's have to say?

Julia Coombes:
​"Lauren is a very conscientious instructor who intuitively meets the needs of her clients. Classes are well structured with emphasis on pranayama, alignment and release. Her delightful personality shines through her precise instruction. This creates a very enjoyable session. Lauren also provides a strong sense that everyone is being cared for throughout each session. Highly recommended. Namaste!"

Jennie Smith:
"If you are looking for a yoga teacher, look no further - you won't find better than Lauren. Her friendly, calm and gentle approach creates a beautiful environment in which to practice and her knowledge is vast and authentic. Go book yourself into one of her classes; you'll be sorry you didn't do it sooner!"

Michele Neubert:
"Lauren is one of the lovleist spirits I've come accross, her teaching both thorough and gentle, with the voice of an angel. Thanks to her I was able to not only reconnect with yoga and all it's benefits but begin to open up and start to relax for the first time in decades. She was extremely patient, understanding and knowledgable of her craft and always there to answer my questions."

Russell Streeter:
"I went to a private class with Lauren, at a quiet location in a bright and relaxing space. This was my first time doing Yoga but Lauren is very knowledgeable and very patient, and she explains and demonstrates each move in a way that makes it easy to follow. I would highly recommend her classes, whether you're experienced or a beginner."
