The Art Of Om Yoga

Lauren Carlton- founder

Lauren first began her yoga journey in 2000 at the age of 21 as a way to deal with the physical stresses of her job as a bartender. She quickly realized that yoga was so much more than exercise. The peace she found was unlike anything she had experienced before.  "Yoga has helped me not only to manage stress and feel better physically, but it has also helped in overcoming my insecurities and creative blocks." As her practice grew over the years, she had thought about teaching, and in 2015 she enrolled in the 200-hour RYT training at The Yoga Loft in Tampa, FL. Her interest in healing energetically and spiritually has also grow; she studied Reiki receiving her master certification. Lauren is using this knowledge and passion for yoga, in combination with her love for art and music to create inspiring, heart opening classes. Her intention as a teacher is to spread the light and joy of yoga and meditation, and to help people to find the divine beauty that resides in us all. She currently teaches in the Tampa Bay area and is available for group or private instruction. 

She is also co-owner/ creator at Damlo Designs where she and her husband create hand made bags, accessories, and original artwork using recycled vinyl records and album cover art.
