Lauren Johnakin

Lauren Johnakin is a certified yoga instructor based in North Carolina. Lauren began exploring the practice of yoga in 2016 in Austin, TX while on her journey of self discovery and reflection. 

Yoga was everything she never knew she needed. From her first class she began incorporating yoga into her daily life and strengthening her personal practice because she knew this was something she needed to share with her community. It was bigger than her. 

Lauren is fiercely passionate about helping influence the truth that yoga is for everyone; yoga comes in all shapes, sizes, gender, color, ages and socioeconomic backgrounds.

The structure and message of Lauren’s classes are for you to be comfortable and confident in your own skin. She guides you along your journey as you allow yourself to feel, move and heal at your own pace; while using conscious breath to bring awareness to your present moment which leads you to have an inspired and uplifting life. Lauren believes it is her mission to serve her community through the practice of yoga to bring healing to all people. 

Lauren is also the creator of, "The Take It Easy Project" which came from her hope to change the world. The mission for "The Take It Easy Project" is to bring people together from different backgrounds and cultures to share our experiences that will inspire and heal our community in a fun, inclusive and safe environment.
