Getting to know the Zenko Team

Do you have a mantra/quote that you often turn to?

Smile, breathe and go slowly – Thich Nhat Hanh

How do you fill up your love tank?

Self care. Sometimes that’s things like time in nature, yoga or bodywork and other times it’s things like budgeting, setting boundaries and standing your ground.

What advice would you give someone wondering whether to try yoga for the first time?

It’s totally normal to feel uncertain and even nervous when you’re trying something for the first time. I’d encourage you to come along anyway and simply smile, breathe and go slowly. It might surprise you to know that ‘yoga is not about touching your toes, it’s about what you learn on the way down’ – Unknown

Laurens's Story

A Legacy of Love

Lauren discovered yoga while running a PR agency in Melbourne. It awakened her soul and changed her path forever. She went from student to full-time teacher in just months, eventually opening multiple studios across Australia and launching A Live Yogi—the country’s first live online yoga platform.

As a speaker, teacher, and community leader, Lauren inspired thousands. Her mission was simple but powerful: for everyone to experience the life-changing benefits of yoga. For her, yoga wasn’t something you do—it was something you are. Like water, it becomes essential to life.

Lauren’s life was marked by authenticity, joy, and a deep sense of service. In 2022, shortly after giving birth to her daughter Lucinda, Lauren tragically passed away due to a rare complication. Her spirit lives on through her daughters, her husband Ryan, and the Zenko community she so lovingly built.

Her dream was to help every person uncover their purpose and live fully, courageously, and with heart. Zenko Yoga continues this mission—helping you connect with your true self, one breath at a time.
