Lauren's journey to you..
'Yoga puts into perspective what words cannot.'
I'm Lauren, the joy seeking yogi..Lauren Gray Yoga was founded from a deep rooted desire to bring joy and laughter, love and curiosity through the magical art of yoga and meditation.
Movement has always been a core part of my life. Before embracing the beauty of yoga, I was a professional dancer; so, flowing within the splendor of lyrical movement was my second heartbeat. I see it as a way to not only escape the noise and pace of modern life, but also to dive inwards. To dig in my roots, while allowing my branches to wander free. My passion in life is to share this feeling with as many people as possible. And while dance will always hold a special place in my heart, I know my life's calling: yoga and meditation. My mission with Lauren Gray Yoga is to show that yoga is not just an hourly moment in your week, it’s a way of life; a state of mind that goes far beyond the yoga mat. Because I truly believe that yoga and meditation gives us the permission to explore our soul. We inhale curiosity, and exhale limitations. We reach out a hand and take hold of new ways of thinking... new ways of being. Through classes, workshops, training and retreats, I strive to encourage my beautiful community to wake up to the magic all around them. To connect with their fellow flames and be a part of a nourishing sphere of introspection and unearthing. I want them to feel deeply and laugh wholeheartedly. You could say I dance to the beat of my own drum. I love nothing more than quenching my own inquisitive nature through my work. From mythical goddesses to the power of the moon, I can’t help but weave in elements of alchemy into my teaching. It’s simply who I am. And therein lies my dream: to show you - the soul searcher and curious mind - how to reconnect with your truth and hold it close in the tightest embrace. To expand your energy and harness your heart. Dear friend, will you join me? |
What style of Yoga do you teach?
Over the last seven years my teaching has evolved into Anusara Yoga with a big 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. In 2018 I trained in Aerial Yoga, a style of yoga that is as fun as it is challenging, I run both weekly & monthly classes for all to try. My classes always include the traditional elements of Meditation, Pranayama, Asana and Savasana. |
Truth nuggets..
Spring is my favourite season, I was born on a Spring full moon and I began Yoga in the spring of my life, age 15 - a spark of joy filled me. It weaved in and out of my life until I travelled to India in 2014 to complete my first Yoga Training.

I LOVE travel and have been to every continent on the planet (minus Antarctica). My heart pulls me East to Asia & Oceania for its calm outlook and ancient traditions interwoven throughout their cultures and society.
|
I trained as a professional dancer, something you'll hopefully come to know & love about my classes is their fluid, free-flowing dance-y quality. I majored in Modern Contemporary dance at London Studio Centre.

One of my main loves in life and literature is Mythology, specifically Greek, Norse & Hindu. Mythology has always been human kind's way of making sense of the world and just because it's ancient doesn't make it obsolete.
