About me

Movement has been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I spent over 30 years as a professional figure skater, including 10 years touring internationally in performance shows.

Since 2015, I have been teaching yoga, later expanding into Pilates and barre when I moved from the US to Germany, and I now teach full time at some of Berlin’s leading studios. Alongside this, I am a certified somatic bodyworker in the Pantarei Approach, having recently completed my advanced practitioner training, while currently in the final advanced study the program offers (3 year program). My somatic education is the foundation of everything I offer. It informs how I guide movement, how I listen, and how I create space for people to reconnect with themselves in a meaningful way.

My work ranges from slow, quiet, yin inspired somatic yoga and meditation; to strong, alignment focused classes that feel supportive while meeting intensity. I also offer one on one somatic bodywork sessions and sound journeys with the gong, which invite deep rest and nervous system regulation. Across all formats, my intention is to meet people where they are and offer experiences that feel honest, embodied, and nourishing.

Join me in the journey of becoming more and more of who we truly are!

I envision a world of people living their authentic selves fearlessly, it always starts with us.

  • What makes Lauren so exceptional is that she has no rigid agenda; she meets you exactly where you are. She tailors the experience entirely to your individual needs and personality. Connecting and listening to the body should be for everyone and Lauren is exactly the kind of practitioner that enables that to happen.

  • Lauren has a loving energy which radiates from her and you cannot help but feel her healing touch illuminate your body.

  • Somatic work was quite new to me before meeting with Lauren for Pantarei. But Lauren made me feel totally at ease and cared for. So many 'ah-ha' moments took place throughout our conversation in the beginning of the session. Once we moved to the table, it really felt like she connected a missing link between my mind, my body, and my spirit.

  • Having tried several forms of more standard therapy, which includes a lot of thinking and talking, it was such a relief to meet Lauren. She immediately made me feel safe and comfortable during our conversation, which then allowed me to really open up, when we did the bodywork. I was surprised at how quickly I could access emotions that are usually blocked for me, and which I have really intellectualised over the years.
