Caroline is passionate about encouraging people to achieve their health goals through sharing her extensive and up to date knowledge of food, nutrition and its interaction with various health issues to further support her work in the kitchen.

Having witnessed first-hand the benefits of dietary and lifestyle modifications in alleviating health issues and promoting physical and mental wellbeing, Caroline looks forward to helping you on your wellness journey.

She first discovered this passion early on in life through her involvement in a wide assortment of dance and movement classes and training. Lauren went on to achieve a first class honours degree in dance and movement and over the last decade has delivered a range of movement classes and qualifications in different institutions across the country.  When Lauren first discovered yoga, she instantly found a synergy with the self-awareness, expression of movement, use of the breath and alignment techniques encouraged within a class.

Lauren now teaches group and 1:1 yoga sessions around North Devon combining elements of Vinyasa Flow, mindfulness and universal alignment principles to help to promote self discovery, self care and presence. 

His mentors included world-renowned teachers such as Gurunam Dr Joseph Michael Levry, Guru Dharam Singh, Darryl O’Keefe and Bridget Layton Minor, all of who had previously been students of the late Yogi Bhajan (The master of Kundalini Yoga).

He left his stressful career as a chef and restaurant manager in Paris, New York, Goa, and London and has subsequently trained and practiced with many great yoga teachers around the world. The transformative impact of Kundalini Yoga has helped him to get centered and aligned with his purpose in life: healing people through yoga.

He shares this ancient practice from a deeply intuitive place and welcomes students to dive into their being, into the silence and inner knowing and then move from that place. Mourad leads classes designed to quiet the mind and inspire the body through music, movement, and breath.  His goal is to provide a supportive and inclusive space—safe for students to awaken the body’s vitality, and to release stress patterns.

Mourad teaches students of all levels of fitness and experience and focuses on creating a joyful learning environment that is accessible for all. He believes that the practice of Kundalini Yoga delivers amazing, immediate results and profound long-term benefits.

Above all, Mourad`s classes are an opportunity to clear the slate—physically and emotionally to make space for the connection to spirit. Mourad runs yoga retreats and workshops combined with healthy nutrition and cooking classes all over Europe and worldwide.
