Lauren Marcellin

Lauren has a passion for living life to the fullest and doing so in a happy and healthy way! She has spent the majority of her life staying active as a runner, a field hockey player and an all around athlete. Lauren’s yogic journey began some years ago when she took a hot yoga class as a ‘stretching regime’ to supplement her other sports. After the first class, she was hooked to the physical sensations she felt walking out of the room… little did she know the amazing mental and emotional benefits that would follow!

At that time, Lauren maintained a very demanding corporate career and used exercise as a stress release. However, with yoga, she saw how she could translate what was happening on the mat to the demands and anxieties off the mat in a way that was different from her normal exercise routine. With this, she began to see such a positive transformation in her performance, her relationships, her mental state and her physical presence in all areas of her life.

Lauren wanted to take her practice to the next level and share it with everyone! She became a certified yoga teacher at the Byron Yoga Centre where she was trained in a hatha and hatha vinyasa style asana practice coupled with meditation, pranayama and philosophy. To both deepen and strengthen her practice for herself and her students, she is in ongoing training with Baron Baptiste, expanding her teaching methods based on the Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga.

Lauren founded Yoga for Me after stepping away from a very demanding corporate career to follow her passion as an executive performance coach and yoga teacher. Yoga for Me is focused on making yoga approachable to everyone. It’s motto life meets yoga sums up what Yoga for Me is all about… Working with people to develop a yoga practice that fits their lifestyle and focuses on exactly what they are looking to get out of their practice, no matter what their level is or purpose for taking up yoga.
