Lauren began her yoga journey in a sweaty, no-frills power vinyasa studio in a single-wide trailer in Tallahassee while studying music education at Florida State University. After college, she deepened her practice with ashram living, spending several summers at Satchidananda Ashram (Yogaville) in Virginia, where she completed her 200 hour teacher training in 2004. After moving to Boone in 2006, she taught a decade of yoga classes at the Wellness Center, leading both gentle and high-intensity vinyasa. She began her aerial arts journey in 2017, and has since blended these two disciplines with a 32 hour Aerial Yoga teacher training at CircuSoul in Sarasota, Florida in 2018. Lauren is an active performing musician and regularly incorporates music into her practice through chant and sound healing.
