My Story

"I wasn't all that I could be, and I knew it"

G'day, nice to meet you! I'm Lauren Hart, but most folks call me Lozz.

When I first started meditating a few years ago, I had absolutely no idea it would change my life.

I've always been that person who asks, "How can I be better?" Optimizing my performance in everything I do has led me to some pretty cool experiences. For a long time, this was all about nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle—I've trained hard, kept learning new skills, and I'm no stranger to shaking things up.

But... something was missing.

I wasn't all that I could be, and I knew it.

Then, I noticed something all the top athletes, philosophers, and the people I admired had in common—they all meditated.

So, in true Lozz fashion, I jumped right in. For a long while I tried every app, mindfulness strategy, and yoga routine I could find, reading whatever came my way, and attempting to meditate. But then it hit me: if you want to really learn something, you need a teacher!

It was my great good fortune that Barron Hanson had opened a meditation studio, Be Here Nowra, right around the corner.

Now, I thought I was already at the top of my game—but once I learned Vedic Meditation, I was honestly blown away by how much it improved my adaptability, energy, performance, and overall wellbeing. I was stoked, to say the least. It was like finding the missing piece everyone spends their whole lives looking for.

As the changes started to show, people began to notice: “Lozz, you don’t drink coffee anymore!?” or “You seem happier than usual, what’s your secret?” or “Lozz, teach me your ways for dealing with the stress of the world and finding inner peace and joy…” (Okay, I might’ve made up that last one. But you get the idea!)

So, the next logical step? Become a teacher of this incredible technique

My Training

"Your path you must decide" - Yoda

When I made the decision to become a teacher, I knew I wanted to learn from the very best. That’s where Thom Knoles comes in. Known in India as Shri 1008 Mahamandaleshwar Maharishi Vyasanand Giri Maharaj, Thom is a globally respected master of Vedic Knowledge, trained directly by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He’s the real deal—dinky di, as we’d say in Australia.

In 2023, I began the extensive preparatory study, diving deep into the ancient wisdom of The Veda and its practices. This journey led to my selection for the Initiator Training Course in 2025, after which I traveled to India for a three-month immersion program with Thom in the Himalayas. Upon graduating, I was inducted into the Shankaracharya tradition, and now I’m proud to offer you this meditation technique.

It would be an absolute privilege to teach you.
