This is for those wanting to explore beyond the physical postures – meditation, breathwork, reflective/philosophy focused discussion & self-care practices that align within yogic principles.
For those that wish for an uplifting, & safe community where you are supported together through exploring personal, spiritual & heart-centered experiences of life. This offering is for those seeking a deeper experience of purpose, self-connection & understanding, wholeness, & love…
This is for those who feel called to….

- Cultivate a daily practice of yoga, breathwork, and self-care
- Deepen your knowledge of yogic principles and philosophy

Yoga has served as opportunity to get to know myself…
A chance to create freedom in my being so I can live more consciously within the present. As my practice continues to expand & the lifelong learning carries on – it becomes more & more clear that yoga & its practices are medicine for ALL. Humbly guiding us into a more compassionate & connected way of being as we navigate a complicated world.
This world needs more people living from the heart, more so now than ever before.
As yoga continues to bring nothing but loving community, self-discovery, & strength into my life – my why for teaching has always been very clear:
I want to live in a body & world of harmony. And if you’ve found yourself here, I’m certain you do too.
This was created for you to feel…
- Confident in your ability to lead your self through daily practice
- Grounded in your being and able to access peace through challenges
- Connected & supported by a community of like-minded beings
- Rooted in trust & acceptance of who you are & the path you are on
- Aware of your authentic truths.
- Love, plain and simple.
We all deserve to feel at home & safe in our bodies. In the midst of challenging times, it’s worthwhile to acknowledge the ways in which we have become disconnected & to give love back to the self. To guide ourselves back into trust & let some of the weight that’s been carried to be released.
Love is for heart-led beings who want to deepen their knowledge of yoga to confidently create a daily practice.
A practice – rooted in self-love and awareness – that will support you in navigating life according to your own experience.

What others say about the Love program:
Lauren is not only an amazing human being, but she is also the definition of a natural born teacher. She is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about all aspects of health and wellness. Lauren has the ability to share her focused energy with her students and clients in a way I have never experienced before. The energy she provides, along with her immense background in various yoga practices create one of the best environments for yogis at any stage in their journey. She guided the best practice I have had in studio, and I know she can unlock the hidden potential in so many individuals. Any time spent with Lauren will bring joy and light to your day.

Lauren is an incredible instructor. She is so generous and sincere in her desire to make each class a truly beautiful experience. Lauren is very knowledgeable. Her soothing, encouraging voice would explain the history of poses and how they help our body and mind heal, improve flexibility and gain strength. I felt very confident in Lauren’s class, even though I was a beginner in my yoga journey. Every class that Lauren taught was warm, inviting and utterly fulfilling. Lauren is a true gift to anyone who has the opportunity be in her presence and benefit from her class. 🥰

Meet your teacher:
Hi, I’m Lauren! I’ve been blessed to work with many skilled teachers, healers, bodyworkers, and yogis from around the world. This has helped me cultivate a dedicated practice for many years that allows me to live in connection with nature, spirit, & the virtue of the breath & yoga. I have over 500 hours training in Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin, and Yoga Anatomy and I believe that you are your own greatest teacher. If you want to learn more about me, you can click here…
Lauren radiates positivity and light. From the first vinyasa class I took from her, I was hooked!
Lauren is such an incredible yogi; she curates the best vinyasa flows that both challenge you and encourage you to connect with your breath to deepen your practice.
Having also been fortunate to experience the energy that exudes from her hands during a yin & massage session is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.
Jacquie (she/her)
The experiences I’ve had with her bring me peace and solution in my practice and in my everyday life. I come out of every class I’ve been to better, stronger and energized, with nothing but motivation to carry my day. I learn how to be aligned with ease. With full transparency I believe the gift Lauren has to include, ground and love everyone in the room is uncanny. I trust her even in moments of struggle when I feel I can’t trust myself. I’ve had breakthroughs and I’ve had breakdowns and I can breathe with ease knowing my guide is right there in the room with me, with all of us. I thank Lauren for all of my experiences and helping me shape my practice, but I mostly thank you for showing me I have the chance to be my own teacher and shape my own practice. I can’t uphold my claims enough. Lauren is truly a breath-taking yoga student, lover and teacher. – Morgan

I could not dream up a better way to begin your yoga journey. We must all start somewhere; why not begin in a safe and open learning environment where we will take our time breaking down the practice as a whole. You will have plenty of space to ask questions, to communicate about your experience within the group & to receive 1:1 support throughout the month. It is a rewarding gift to the self to commit to 4 weeks of practice; one that will allow you to experience the magic that comes with consistent self-love, practice & reflection.
I am a complete beginner to yoga, is this for me?

What if I am not a morning person?
I feel you. I love a good sleep in myself.
However, there are immense benefits to experience rising early for practice. In addition to building discipline and resolve, in traditional yoga practices, it’s advised to begin meditation, pranayama, and asana with a clear body and mind that has not yet had many impressions.
Give it your best try. Once you begin to experience the benefits for yourself, it will become easier & easier. And if your body is calling for rest on any particular morning, you have the option of catching up on the recording.
What happens if I miss or am unable to attend a live class?
Not a problem. All of the live classes will be recorded and available to watch anytime for the duration of the 4 weeks. If needed, arrangements can be easily made to keep the content up longer.
I feel uncomfortable chanting, is that okay?
As powerful as it can be to chant in a group of voices, since we will be practicing online all microphones will be muted during chanting except for mine. I hope that you feel comfortable using the vibration of your voice from the comfort of your own personal space.
How can I pay you? Are there payment plans available?
All payments may be made via e-transfer. Payment plans are available and encouraged for all who may not be about the make the full payment initially. One of my intentions with this intensive was to make it accessible for anyone who feels called to join. There is an initial $100 payment to secure your spot, but from there a payment plan can be easily arranged. Send me an email & we can work it out together!
How do I apply for the scholarship spot?
The scholarship spot in Love was created as an open space for someone who feels very called to this work. With the intention of inclusivity and understanding that we all have a very different experience with money — it was put in place to make sure that if someone wants to be a part of this journey, they have ample opportunity, regardless of their financial position.
You can apply by emailing lokayawellness@gmail.com with your name, a little about you, & why you feel called to this program.
Online Practice & Time Zone Considerations
The benefit of practicing in an online space allows for anyone to join no matter where they are in the world. Although our classes together will be live, all will be recorded & available for the duration of the month. If you have a conflicting time zone, you are still very welcome to join the program. Experiencing the live classes is encouraged, but not necessary for your learning journey.
