Lauren Demberg
Lauren (she/her) began her yoga journey in 2010 when a friend introduced her to the practice as a form of movement. Over time, what started as a physical exploration evolved into a deep connection with the emotional, energetic, and spiritual layers of yoga. Drawn to better understand the subtle body and the inner shifts she was experiencing, Lauren completed her 200-hour teacher training at Republic of Yoga in 2018.
Her path eventually led her to slower, more intentional practices, where she discovered the profound power of stillness. She earned her Restorative Yoga certification through Evolve Movement in 2019 and developed a deep appreciation for rest as a vital and often overlooked part of healing. Lauren is also a Shamanic Reiki Master and Sound Healer, using crystal singing bowls and other instruments to create deeply immersive experiences that support relaxation, grounding, and release.
Her teaching is rooted in a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes safety, autonomy, and choice. She is deeply committed to accessibility and inclusivity, offering adaptable cueing for all bodies and encouraging the use of props as meaningful support. Lauren creates spaces where all bodies - especially those often marginalized in wellness spaces - feel seen, respected, and celebrated. Through her work, she supports students in finding moments of softness, embodiment, and ease within themselves. She believes yoga isn’t about achieving a shape, but about building connection, self-acceptance, and trust in your own experience - both on and off the mat.
Lauren teaches at Current Wellness and offers sound baths throughout the Triangle area. She also works with private clients, offering yoga, Reiki, and sound healing sessions, personalized to honor each student’s body and experience. In 2026, Lauren became a You Call This Yoga Ambassador and shares online sound baths through their YouTube channel. Outside of her work, you can find her meditating with her cat, spending time in nature, thrifting, or watching horror movies.
