About Lauren

Yoga Instructor, Newburgh Yoga Shala

Student to Teacher Journey

Lauren (she/her) has been practicing yoga since 2008 and will be graduating from Newburgh Yoga Shala’s first 200-hour Yoga Alliance Certified YTT Program in April. This is her third training, bringing her total hours to 700. She has served as both a mentor and mentee and is excited to begin working with new students at The Shala.

During the day, Lauren is a high school teacher who incorporates regulating the nervous system and themes of mindfulness into her English classes, with the hope that her students take those ideas with them when they leave the classroom. She aims to do the same within her yoga classes, creating a safe space to challenge one's mind, body, and spirit, and through that, help her students grow both on and off the mat. 

Teaching Style & Influences

Meditation and breathwork are both cornerstones to Lauren’s personal practice. She integrates these components into her Vinyasa classes regularly. She is a firm believer that yoga is accessible to everyone, and considers all abilities when creating her sequences; Following the breath and listening to the body is key. 

She hopes to help guide you through practice soon.
