About Us
Lauren Bernard
Blessings! Thank you for being here. I'm Lauren, a twice-certified 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher, Certified Reiki Master, Meditation Guide & Dedicated Space Holder.
I am passionate and dedicated to guiding others on their healing journeys. After overcoming a life-altering diagnosis, I discovered the transformative power of yoga, meditation and Reiki, which helped me conquer fears, anxieties, and traumas. Now, I use my personal experience and deep understanding to tailor each class, session, guided practice & retreat to the individual needs of my clients & students, encouraging healing for the mind, body, and soul. With a creative passion for collaboration, I also work with other practitioners to offer special retreats + events, providing immersive experiences that further support deep healing and transformation. Through connecting, releasing, balancing, and reprogramming the mindset, I am honoured to inspire others to embrace a new normal of peace and well-being during weekly yoga classes, meditation practices, Reiki sessions and special events.
Mother Nature is of extreme importance to me, often infusing the essence of our Great Mother into classes, appointments & special events. Creating and customizing magical experiences is my true passion and purpose- my dharma.
With more than 10 years of experience supporting children and families through periods of transition and healing, I offer a grounded, compassionate presence that helps you reclaim your power and move toward deep, lasting restoration.

What is Reiki
Reiki is a holistic and complementary healing practice that originated in Japan. It is based on the belief that a universal life force energy flows through all living things and can be harnessed to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing and balance.

Reiki is a holistic and complementary healing practice that originated in Japan. It is based on the belief that a universal life force energy flows through all living things and can be harnessed to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing and balance.
- Universal Life Energy (Ki or Qi): Reiki is rooted in the concept of a universal life energy, which is also known as Ki (Japan) or Qi (China). This life energy is believed to flow through all living beings and is the vital force that sustains life. In Reiki, practitioners tap into this energy to facilitate healing.
- Chakras and Energy Centers: Reiki theory includes the concept of chakras, which are energy centers located along the body. These chakras are associated with different aspects of physical and emotional well-being. Reiki practitioners work to unblock and balance the flow of energy through these chakras.
- Laying on of Hands: Reiki practitioners use a hands-on or hands-off approach to transmit healing energy to the recipient. By placing their hands on or near specific areas of the body, they facilitate the flow of energy, promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and overall healing.
- Intention and Focus: Intent plays a crucial role in Reiki. Practitioners focus their intention on channeling the universal life energy for the highest good of the recipient. This intention helps direct and enhance the healing process.
- Energy Flow: Reiki is based on the idea that energy imbalances or blockages can lead to physical and emotional ailments. Practitioners use their hands and intention to remove these blockages, allowing the energy to flow freely, which, in turn, can promote healing and well-being.
- Self-Healing and Empowerment: Reiki is not just about receiving energy from a practitioner. It also empowers individuals to participate in their own healing process. Many Reiki practitioners are taught self-Reiki techniques to maintain their own well-being.
- Spiritual Connection: While Reiki is not tied to any specific religious belief, some practitioners view it as a spiritual practice that connects them to a higher consciousness or universal source of energy.
- Training and Attunements: To become a Reiki practitioner, individuals typically undergo training and receive attunements from a Reiki master. These attunements are believed to open the practitioner to the flow of Reiki energy.

The Philosophy & Practice of Yoga
"The body has an incredible capacity for healing if we allow it, if we enable it, and if we nourish it with the right environment." - Dr. Bernie Siegal.
Yoga is an ancient practice that combines physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), meditation, and ethical principles (or mindful living) to achieve balance and harmony in body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in ancient philosophy, yoga aims to unite the individual self with the universal consciousness, promoting self-awareness,
Yoga is an ancient practice that combines physical postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), meditation, and ethical principles (or mindful living) to achieve balance and harmony in body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in ancient philosophy, yoga aims to unite the individual self with the universal consciousness, promoting self-awareness, inner peace, and overall well-being.
In our yoga classes, we emphasize the integration of these elements to create a holistic experience. By guiding students through mindful movements, breathwork, and meditation, we inspire them to connect deeply with their inner selves, release stored energy, and find tranquility. Our approach nurtures the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of our students, helping them cultivate inner peace and a sense of connection to their true selves.
