Lauren fell in love with yoga back in 2011 when a coworker convinced her to try it. She decided to become a yoga instructor so that she could share her passion with more people! She completed a 200 hour RYT in-person training course in June of 2014 at Evansville Yoga University. Since then, she also became certified to teach other yoga instructors, earning the E-RYT designation. She has taught more than 1500 hours of all types of yoga, to individuals, teams, and youth.
