Hi friends, it's so wonderful to have you here. It's been a while since I've shared Yoga Classes here on the beautiful Coffs Coast so I thought to reintroduce myself...
I’m Lauren, a mover, a maker, a teacher, a knowledge seeker, an introvert (mostly), a creature of nature and an all-round creative human.
I have been teaching Hatha Yoga for over a decade, hold a postgraduate diploma in Yoga Therapy and am Registered as a Senior teacher with Yoga Australia.
I first came to yoga as a teen and it wasn’t love at first sight… I wasn't sure if orange robes, a shaved head, very early mornings and chanting in Sanskrit were my thing. But I could see how peaceful these "yoga people" were, and I was fascinated.
I fell in love with learning yoga as a way of life in my early 20’s as an aspiring visual artist, back in the day when yoga teacher trainings were held Gurukul style in Ashrams and facilitated by Swami’s and Sanyasin. Stretchy pants weren't a "thing" yet...
After completing my very first Yoga certification with the London Sivananda Yoga and Vedanta Academy in 2007, I was given the title of Yoga Siromani by Swami Durgananda and years later the name Satyapriya by Acharya Swami Satyadharma meaning "beloved of truth”.
As a Yoga Teacher & Yoga Therapist, I prefer a slower approach to yoga. My classes celebrate, recognise and consider the many pieces of the personal whole.
In a class with me you can expect authentic yoga methods (Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha, Meditation) taught in a warm and accessible way with generosity of spirit & lots of support if you'd like it. Each class is an invitation to simply enjoy nurturing yourself. An invitation to develop a compassionate and intuitive sense of individual boundaries and innate personal potential.
Outside of Yoga, I am a mother to two exceptional young humans, who are by far my greatest teachers.
These days my creativity is channelled into the family, our home space & nature. You will often find me tending flowers in the veggie patch & hanging out with my kids and the chooks.
You can practice with me in Coffs Harbour Saturday mornings 6:30-8am at Space - Yoga on Bray Hatha Yoga. I'd love to see you there 💕
