About me
I am a marketer, mom of two energetic boys, yoga instructor, exercise enthusiast and Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN) who is deeply passionate about health, wellness, and helping others feel and look their best. My journey in wellness began with a career shift from the corporate world in Toronto after graduating from the University of Western Ontario. I left my job to pursue my dream of becoming an RHN, studying nutrition while traveling through South America and the Caribbean. In December 2012, I completed my RHN certification from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. In 2018, I became a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200). I also work full time as a marketing director for a local Ottawa law firm. I love the variety and balance that all my jobs provide.
Teaching Philosophy
To me, advanced yoga is learning to be present in your mind and body, and adjusting your practice accordingly – present over perfect. My classes focus on both the mental and physical aspects of yoga – emphasizing mindfulness, breath, and presence, while practicing asanas that focus on strength, stretching and balance – inviting students to meet themselves where they are each day. My teaching style is embodied, creative, and evolving, focusing on the balance between challenge and relaxation. Lauren guides her students to use their breath to fuel their movements.
