What students are saying:
Hi, I'm Lauren Danner!
I am a student of life who thrives on community and authentic connections. I am passionate about art, words, movement, and family time (including my cats!). I have been known to be persistent, loyal, creative, and toting a cup of coffee and my home schooled kids most of the day.
My yoga journey began in 2000 as a means to enhance my musical theater performance. Little did I know at the time that it would be the antidote to my anxiety, stress and PTSD. It would also lead me to cultivate the kind of joyful and connected life I thought only existed in fairytales.
My teaching style creates a practice that is sustainable in the moment and long term so that my students have something to commit to for a lifetime. My yoga classes are designed to move energy through breath, intention/meditation, and yoga postures; they are challenging but possible for all levels.
I use several modalities to help my soulmate students over come the big obstacles in their lives so that they can remain true to themselves and carve out a life that feel fulfilling and meaningful to them despite the highs and lows. I am a Certified Hypnotherapist (CHt) and Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500) who has a passion for anatomy and physiology, neuroscience, movement and JOY!
My personal intention is to be humbled by and grateful for all of life’s gifts. I have found yoga as a means to practice the sincerest expressions of gratitude, cultivate enthusiasm for life, and live as an expression of love. Diverse experience is something I have acquired that has led to my unique style and yoga philosophy. I have taught in attics, apartment communities, hotel rooms, parks, many conference rooms, yoga studios and was a yoga teacher at Nike World Headquarters. I most value the fact that yoga is for anyone and can meet you wherever you are when you show up.
