Lauren began her journey with yoga back in 2010 when a friend suggested yoga as a form of exercise. Wanting to learn more about the magic that was happening in the subtle body, Lauren decided to pursue her 200-hr Teacher Training and graduated under Nicole Nichols from Republic of Yoga in October 2018. Over time, Lauren developed a passion for Restorative Yoga and learned that you could truly change the body and mind on a cellular level by slowing down the nervous system and putting the body into complete relaxation mode. She earned her 20-hr continuing education certification specializing in Restorative Yoga in September 2019 under Julee Snyder at Evolve Movement in Raleigh.

 

Lauren is also a certified Shamanic Reiki Master, and feels that the combination of Reiki and Yoga together are beautiful way to open up the energy flow in the body to allow for ultimate healing and expansion. Lauren’s goal is to share her knowledge with others so that they can feel grounded and whole both on and off the mat. Yoga is way more than asana (poses) – it’s a way of life. She also hopes to show more diversity in the yoga world by showing that yoga can be accessible for every body who choose to experience it.
