Our Journey
Welcome to Kai.zen hub! We are Lara and Neil, a passionate couple who have dedicated our lives to the pursuit of wellness, community, and personal growth. Our journey together has spanned thirteen transformative years, and we are excited to share with you how our individual paths have converged to create a space unlike any other.
Lara is an experienced yoga instructor specialising in Holistic Facials and Holistic Massage. Her recent studies in Alchemy Yoga have deepened her understanding of the connection between the five elements and our bodies, allowing her to weave these insights into her classes. Lara’s nurturing approach creates a safe space for her students, inviting them to explore their own awareness and discover their innate ability to return to balance.
Neil has spent decades in the water, founding his own swimming school in his early twenties. His commitment to teaching individuals of all ages, from infants to retirees, reflects his belief in the power of community through sport. Neil represented his country in the Athens Olympics at just 18 years old and has since set world records, including the longest known swim of 142.6 km. Through his unique program, "The Ocean Mindset," he empowers individuals at every level to embrace their journey, pushing boundaries and unlocking their peak physical and mental performance.
Together, we recognise that now is the perfect moment to intertwine our paths—both personally and professionally. Our vision is to create a vibrant community where like-minded individuals come together to support one another. We believe in a new approach to living that emphasises mindful thinking, intentional actions, and holistic well-being.
Join us on this incredible journey as we create a space for transformation, growth, and connection—together, we can elevate the way we live, thrive, and support one another.
