Our Yoga Instructor

Lauren’s style to teach­ing yoga empha­sizes the val­ue of each individual’s unique sen­si­tiv­i­ties & per­spec­tive. Her yogi­ni San­skrit name, Liilavati sums up her phi­los­o­phy of yoga and life; the expres­sion of the cos­mic dance or sim­ply stat­ed as divine play.

With her back­ground in run­ning, she has a strong under­stand­ing of over­all health, fit­ness and body aware­ness. It was through run­ning where she first dis­cov­ered her love of yoga for the phys­i­cal sup­port and bal­ance it pro­vid­ed to an active lifestyle along with the phi­los­o­phy and spir­i­tu­al­i­ty that seemed to keep pro­vid­ing gems of knowl­edge and clarity.

She received her 200hr Yoga Teacher Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion through Yoga Alliance in 2011 in Eugene Ore­gon where she stud­ied through the Tai Chi Yoga Cen­ter, focus­ing pri­mar­i­ly on Anan­da Mar­ga ​‘Path of Bliss’ Med­i­ta­tion & Hatha Yoga. Incor­po­rat­ing breath, restora­tive asanas and sub­tle body adjust­ments in her class­es she invites and inspires you to play, move and express a prac­tice as unique as you are, uplift­ing your mind, body and spirit.

She cur­rent­ly teach­es all over the cen­tral coast and has a diverse back­ground teach­ing a broad spec­trum of styles includ­ing, hatha, vinyasa flow, yin, restora­tive & med­i­ta­tion classes.

When not found on the matt you can find Lau­ren explor­ing, run­ning, hik­ing or cre­at­ing art­work and jew­el­ry, which are all a con­stant source of inspi­ra­tion and flow in her life.

“Life should be lived as play!”
