Client Testimonials
"Thank you beautiful soul Lauren. All of your classes are a joy to follow along with. Absolutely love them all. You have a clear and delightful teaching style which is a so wonderful." Hannah.
"Unlike other experienced practitioners I have known, Lauren offers her time and advice freely, to coach and mentor other teachers and students in order to help them on their path of growth. Likewise, Lauren openly gives to the wider community by organising free events at her studios to help empower and encourage others to create the lives they love. Lauren continues to create opportunities and connections for her local community and is always looking for further ways to support charities and organisations outside of her own business. It's difficult to find words to describe the woman that Lauren is, none seeming enough to do justice to what she gives. Those who know her love, respect and admire her strength, courage and unwavering commitment to serve those around her and be part of the greater good. I know I am one of thousands who can say she has changed their life for the better."
Helen.

My connection to my body has lead to great things for me and I continue to create miracles thanks to my continuing yoga practice and the pearls of wisdom I hear daily from the amazing quality of teachers that Zenko attracts.
