Lauren Autenrieth, E-RYT200/RYT500 certified in Hatha Yoga in 2008, completed her 200 hour Vinyasa Yoga training in 2013, and is proud to hold a 300 hour certification from Integrative Om RYS. She has studied various styles of yoga and healing including Iyengar, yoga therapy, Thai massage, Yin Yoga, pre and post-natal and kids yoga. Over the last decade she has come to believe 3 things- that travel and experiences outside of your own are the foundations of empathy and understanding; yoga offers simplicity in its ancient wisdom; and that if we as human beings are able to practice and live with mindfulness, seemingly small acts can make a big difference. Lauren's classes range from fluid and dynamic Vinyasa to a gentle and healing Hatha practice. She wants nothing more than to make human connections and backbend around the world but also enjoys evenings home, snuggled up with a good book and some peanut butter. Lauren is the founder of the San Diego based yoga and events company Heart Space.
