Lauren Burkart

I have been practicing yoga for almost fifteen years, but it took me ten years of practicing at home to actually work up the nerve to attend my first class.  While I originally began practicing to benefit my physical health, the benefits I received mentally and emotionally were what kept me coming back to my mat. In 2014, I completed my 200-hour teacher training with YogaGypsy in Springdale, and this past year I completed my 300-hour teacher training with LivFree Power Yoga with Annie Q.in Connecticut.

I am truly passionate about bringing yoga everywhere to everyone and I have given yoga instruction in hospices, women’s shelters, outdoors, gyms, spas, and yoga studios.  I believe there is a yoga for every single person, and that is why I love teaching anything from heated power vinyasa to yin and meditation.  I approach the classes I teach with a light heart, and I'm always finding ways to apply the lessons we learn on our mats to the rest of our lives.  I truly believe that our yoga practice can make the world a better place
