MY STORY
HI, I’M LAUREN
I moved to New York City at a young age; although I’ve always been referred to as a “seeker”, I felt I was simply following my heart. “A farm girl in the big city, who gave up rugged athletics for the grace of dance and theatre, I was drawn to NYC because it was the only place I’d really ever visited growing up. It was so different from what I was used to and I wanted that… something different.” Years of checking the boxes of what I didn’t want to do led me to that sweet whisper from the Universe and yoga had finally found me; as destiny goes, at the right place in the right time.
I believe “the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul creates the symphony of life.”
Both in group and private sessions, I tap my dance background and incorporate lively music and personalized attention for each and every “body.” My classes are designed to encourage practitioners to stay present while pushing their boundaries through vigorous, yet graceful, sequencing. Although energetically, we are all connected by the pull of the Universe, it is important to remember “Bio-individuality” is key to growth in health and wellness and maintaining wholeness in the physical form..
After nearly 10 years of learning, teaching, sharing, and experiencing the effects of yoga (and living the reality of a global shutdown) I began to brainstorm how to make yoga more mainstream and accessible to anyone, anywhere. In the fall of 2020, I purchased a 1973 VW Westfalia, and Stop Drop ‘N’ Yoga came to life.
