Join us on Friday morning, 3/18, 11AM EST - for a 1 hour yoga practice on zoom. Me, the person that is writing this, who shall remain anonymous, has had Lauren Star as a yoga teacher for 10 years. She was the instructor at my first vinyasa yoga class! For the past few years Lauren decided to move out west and earn her master’s degree in yoga studies, but she will be back on the east coast again, and we will be hosting her for outdoor, in person classes. For now we get to enjoy her teachings at the comfort of our own homes! Read more about her below! $5 investment, which will be donated to Community Cooks!

“I began practicing yoga while living in southern Africa in 1994. What began as an interesting way to exercise ended up being a path to deeper understandings of myself, of health, of wellness and vitality. Yoga practice touched my mind and heart. In 2002, I earned my Yoga Teacher’s certification through Ananda Kutir Ashram (Sivananda lineage) in Cape Town, South Africa. Besides the monks, nuns, and other teachers at the Ashram in South Africa, I have studied with some great teachers in the United States. These teachers have taught me yoga practices and perspectives, and have served as living examples of grace, humor, self-discipline, tenacity, and kindness: some of the hallmarks of long-term yoga practice. These teachers include: Roman Szpond (heated power vinyasa), Jillian Pransky (Restorative yoga), Krishna Das (Bhakti yoga, yoga philosophy), Dr. Lori Rubenstein-Fazzio (Anatomy, physiology, and Yoga Therapy), Dr. Christopher Key Chapple (Yoga philosophy and history), Dr. Chris Jain Miller (modern Yoga and Hatha Yoga) and Stephen Cope (Yoga psychology).
I have been teaching yoga professionally since 2003. I was the head yoga teacher at Inner Strength Studio in Boston for 15 years. During this time I lead workshops, retreats, and trained new teachers through the Inner Strength Yoga Teacher Training program. Besides teaching in various yoga studios around Boston, I taught yoga at high-end gyms, retirement homes, in-home private lessons, and a women’s shelter. In 2020 I graduated from Loyola Marymount University (LMU) with a Master’s Degree in Yoga Studies. I am currently doing post-graduate work in Yoga Therapy at LMU, with the intention of becoming a certified Yoga Therapist. “
