About Lauren
Lauren worked for 30 years in a school district in Maryland outside of Washington, DC. She was a special education teacher for 10 years and a professional school counselor for 20 years. Lauren discovered yoga 20 years ago when her son was frequently ill due to a delayed immune system. It helped her reduce stress and anxiety while gaining physical strength and exercise.

In September 2020 she obtained her Children’s Yoga teacher certification. Currently, Lauren teaches yoga to adults and teens with diverse abilities as well as gentle yoga classes for adults.
