🌟 Teacher Spotlight: Lauren 🌟
Lauren brings such an elegant, graceful + heartfelt presence to the mat — and her journey with yoga is just as beautiful as the classes she teaches. Here’s a little glimpse into her story:
🧘♀️ How Lauren discovered yoga
“My first memory of yoga was back in high school, where a ballet teacher guided us through Sun A’s and savasana at the end of class. I rediscovered yoga as a young adult for a great workout, but with consistent practice it became a work in — supporting me through the ebbs and flows of this beautiful rollercoaster ride of life.”
🔥 Favorite style
“Vinyasa flow (heated or non-heated) is my favorite. Intertwining breath with movement transports my mind and body into a state of flow, allowing external thoughts to release as I enter a moving meditation.”
🦉 Something you might not know about Lauren
“I’m actively involved with St. Francis Wildlife Association, which is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation of native wildlife here in North Florida.”
🧡 What Rising Om means to her
“Each time I enter the studio, I feel a warm welcome home. Showing up on my mat as both a student and teacher over the years has given me space to evolve more than I ever imagined. The community cultivated at ROY is truly special and a place I will forever cherish.”
We’re so grateful for Lauren’s grounded energy, compassion, and deep love for this community. If you’ve taken her class, you know — it’s something truly special. 🧡✨
