Hi,
I’m Lashara.
I’m a globe trotting South African on a mission to explore more, discover, move to feel good, overcome life's challenges and find my feet in a topsy-turvy world.
I’m a qualified personal trainer, yoga teacher and mindset coach. So I kinda know what I’m talking about, but I’m not here to preach to you from a soapbox. I encourage you to pluck what works for you from these pages and apply it to your life as you see fit. Find what works for you and remember to have fun along the way. There is no one size fits all for fitness, life or food!
I developed the Fit Living method to help busy people create a lifestyle that works for them by giving bespoke training and coaching that follows a step by step process for building strength, healthy habits, a strong mindset and daily movement.
Join me online for one to one training, coaching, for online classes, or via the on demand library!
You can contact me directly for private coaching, movement coaching or alternatively try an online class.
Where to next?
You’ll often find me, my partner Woody, and our dogs Whisky and Bjørn, on some form of adventure! You'll more often than not find us on a big adventure to the woods for a walkies or sailing somewhere! We love travelling and seeing new places, and I enjoy documenting these spots as we go. We have two cats, Akila and Ragnar, but they prefer staying home and hearing about our travel tales after.
I’m a big fan of old Mother Nature and find it does wonders for my headspace. I am a late comer to adventure sports, but I enjoy hiking, surfing, climbing, snowboarding, scuba diving, and I would love to learn to kite surf. I am also partial to skydiving.
The Slow lane...
In 2021 after one too many lockdowns during the pandemic, Woody and I bought a boat after what felt like the longest chunk of time where we couldn't travel. We've lived in London for far too long and wanted a change to a slower pace of life while also being able to see more of the world and do our work. Our boat is called Prismo and she is a Dazcat catamaran and we’re very excited for all the expeditions to come, but for now we’re learning to sail the beast like pros and preparing for sailing around the UK.

Move to feel good
A challenging childhood has made me aware at a young age that mental health is a lifelong investment, and the dangers if it isn't taken seriously. After years of struggling with anxiety and trauma related stress after what can only be described as a dysfunctional upbringing.
I have learnt strategies to cope with my mental health through exercise, by being in nature, practicing yoga, eating well, and keeping an active lifestyle. I am not perfect, in fact I am far from it, but I know what habits keep me feeling good and capable of coping with what life has to throw at me. I have found mindfulness tools are a huge help, and I have done a great deal of work on my mindset over the years.
I am a strong believer in the power of self-belief, self-discipline, and most importantly, self-compassion.
I enjoy being able to stay fit through activities that I love doing (including gardening). I want to be able to do lots of awesome activities till a ripe and delicious old age, so I understand I need to support my body with the correct training and movement, as well as my mind.
While a juicy booty is great, a big mood is even better!
