ABOUT LAUREN
Trusted Yoga Teacher and Retreat Planning Consultant
From competitive dancer to yoga retreat designer, my journey has always been about coming home to myself through movement. I was introduced to yoga during dance warmups, but it wasn’t until after college—while navigating anxiety and burnout—that I discovered yoga as a true healing practice. One hot yoga class shifted everything. It became my anchor, helping me find strength, calm, and clarity. No matter how busy life got, I always found my way back to the mat—and eventually, to creating transformative yoga experiences for others here in Bergen and Hudson County, NJ.

Where Yoga Meets Experience Design
FLX yoga & retreats was founded at the intersection of mindful movement and a decade-long career in experiential marketing.
​
Before becoming a certified yoga teacher, I spent years producing large-scale brand activations, pop-ups, and immersive events across North America — from global launches to high-profile showcases like Art Basel and the Toronto International Film Festival. Working behind the scenes for leading brands taught me how to build experiences that are intentional, engaging, and flawlessly executed.
​
With FLX, I’ve combined that event expertise with my passion for yoga, wellness, and community to design retreats and custom experiences that go far beyond relaxation. Each one is crafted to be immersive, energizing, and deeply connecting — helping you and your guests move, breathe, and come home to yourselves.
