In 2016, Lauren found her way from yoga student to yoga teacher in Fort Worth, TX. Shortly thereafter, she was honored to be part of teacher training teams as well as studio development and leadership. Off the mat, Lauren supports schools, families and small businesses to develop systematic, mindful change as a Board Certified Behaviorist and a momma to two littles.
