BIO:

Lauren stumbled into a yoga teacher training program over 15 years ago, in an effort to better curb her own anxiety and fear of public speaking before starting law school. A few weeks into her 1L year, she picked up a weekly yoga class to help pay for her caffeine habit; she’s been (mostly) joyfully juggling her legal and wellness careers ever since. In Lauren’s fitness and yoga offerings, you can expect a creative yet intelligently-sequenced, playful, relatable, and fast-paced spin on traditional yoga teachings and workouts!

Through the practice of yoga she gained an awareness of mindful action and developed the tools to find peace amongst chaos on and off the mat. Understanding the benefit of this knowledge led to the creation of Hustle and Yoga Flow, which concentrates on mindful movement through yoga, meditation and bodywork for those that are always on the go with an emphasis on community. This practice has incorporated wellness programs for professional fighters, student athletes, seniors, emergency responders, children and more. Although based in Joshua Tree, she can be found teaching workshops throughout the country.

BIO:

I came into Yoga seeking a physical practice but shortly realized that it was much more to it. I realized that this is a practice that can better improve the comprehension of my mental and physical self. With this realization, I dedicated my practice not to just myself but others in my community. My goal is to bring Yoga and Mindfulness to underserved communities, as I believe it’s a powerful tool for everyone.
