Lauren moved across the country throughout her adolescence to adult life, which contributed to a feeling of constant change and instability. For her, yoga brought peace and presence to her life. In 2017, she moved to Nashville and began deepening her yoga practice. She received her yoga teacher certification in 2025 with Hola Yoga (East Nashville). She started teaching yoga in 2025 and began teaching with Small World Yoga the same year.

She loves yoga because it encompasses the whole self. It is not just about the movement on your mat, but how you react and live your life. Throughout her yoga journey, she has found herself being more compassionate towards herself and others. Additionally, she has become more in tuned to her body and mental health. What Lauren enjoys most about teaching yoga is allowing everyone to show up authentically and making it available for everyone.

Outside of yoga, she enjoys crocheting, reading, run clubs, and travel. She lives in East Nashville with her husband, Dustin, and two sweet cats, Benny and Earl Grey.
