Lauren is a former gymnast, cheerleader, and country/swing dancer who only dabbled in yoga periodically until she found Soul Sweat in 2018. Hot Power Flow got her hooked! She discovered that the physical aspects of the practice helped her reconnect to her body in a similar way to gymnastics and dancing. More importantly, the time out of the day to simply be present on her mat taught her how to connect to her breath to find a stillness and presence that always brought peace in the midst of a chaotic day or week.
After talking about it for a couple of years, Lauren finally decided to do teacher training in fall of 2022. It was a journey she didn’t know she needed. What started with the intention of learning more and deepening her own practice sparked a fire for sharing yoga with others. Lauren enjoys the atmosphere of a full class with high heat and a playlist that makes you want to dance in down dog. She finds community to be the most fulfilling part of teaching and practicing yoga; holding space for students while teaching class one day and practicing in a class with them the next.
When she’s not on her mat, Lauren enjoys reading, dancing, and sharing time with her yoga friends – that are really more like family.
