Lauren Reese, E-RYT and Certified Yoga Tune Up® Teacher, has been involved in group fitness for over 19 years. She started with teaching aerobics, weight training classes, and triathalons.  After several injuries, Lauren found herself in pain. Frustrated – because even though she was “fit” her body was always hurting – she turned to yoga to find strength and healing for her injuries. Yoga not only helped her feel better physically, but yoga also taught her the importance of balance, both literally and figuratively.

Lauren’s classes are powerful yet playful and encouraging. Her creative sequencing mirrors her lighthearted personality, and each class is a new experience. Lauren’s goal is to help her students find balance for their bodies and their lives. She finds her passion in working with athletes (both privately, with sports teams, and with both college and professional athletes) and leading yoga retreats. Lauren is a PrAna featured yogi on REI’s  Yoga for Athletes Live Tour. She has studied with Sage Rountree, Jill Miller, and Leslie Kaminoff. Certifications include RYT 200 Lifted Heart Yoga School, Certified Sage Yoga for Athletes Teacher (one of only 33 in the country!), Certified Functional Movement Systems, Certified Grounded Kids Instructor, and Certified Yoga Fit.
