Bio

A lifelong mover and classically trained dancer, Lauren first turned to yoga as a way to stay active after injuries compromised her dance career. What began as a way to stay active quickly became a source of grounding, balance, and joy. Over time, regular Vinyasa and Ashtanga practice supported her through life’s transitions, helping her connect breath with movement and explore deeper layers of personal growth. She is a graduate of Solstice’s Yoga’s 200-hour teacher training.

As a registered nurse, Lauren is keenly aware of the physical and emotional benefits of a regular movement practice. Her mantra, “Find ways to move that bring you joy,” acknowledges that no single movement practice is one-size-fits-all.

Lauren’s classes provide space for exploration and opportunities for challenge. She draws on her education in both dance and nursing to create sequences that are creative, strength-building, and invigorating.
