Lauren Toolin, E-RYT, is a nationally recognized yoga instructor and a senior student and teaching assistant of both Rodney Yee and Yogarupa Rod Stryker. She has completed the Para Yoga Master Training with Rod, which is one of the most intensive and advanced trainings in the country. Lauren has been teaching for 15 years and is an initiated practitioner in the tradition of Swami Rama of the Himalayas. Her instruction is an engaging synthesis of the clarity and precision of the Iyengar system and the joyful, energetic inquiry of Tantra. Always insightful, inspirational, and infused with humor, Lauren's teaching conveys her passionate belief in Yoga's boundless potential for creating a healthy, successful and loving existence. Lauren's classes often include instruction in kriya, mantra, bandha, pranayama and meditation - profound techniques which are rarely taught in group yoga classes today. In addition to teaching weekly classes at the center, she teaches workshops at regional yoga centers and conferences. See her guest teaching schedule Here. She is a contributor to Yoga + Joyful Living magazine, and a featured instructor in the MOB Skwad television series. |

Warren Ramsey began practicing Yoga with Lauren in 2002, initially seeking an alternative to conventional physical conditioning methods and a way to relieve stress. He found that, and more, and within a few months, knew that he had found his passion. He recently completed and intensive course of study with Eileen Muir of Karuna Yoga and continues to study with Lauren. Practicing, assisting and teaching yoga have been some of the most rewarding experiences he has ever had, and his classes reflect his enthusiasm and ever expanding joy in sharing yoga’s benefits. He is an increasingly popular instructor and invites you to come and practice with him! |
