Lauren was drawn to yoga because of the mental challenge it proposed. She has learned (and is still learning) the tools it takes to conquer a distracted mind. She first started teaching yoga to her friends and family and realized how important it was to make people aware of the healing benefits of yoga. She hopes that through careful, thoughtful teaching, she can heal people mentally, physically, and spiritually.Beyond the yoga studio, Lauren is a graduate student studying mobile experiential technologies, especially as they relate to augmented and virtual reality. When she’s not testing her code inside the virtual world, she enjoys being out in nature. Her hobbies include: snowboarding, hiking, playing VR games, trying new food, and spending time with people.
