After many years of teaching group fitness, she found the answer to her maturing body's needs through yoga & Pilates and shifted her education path immediately. Yoga ignited a new passion for her and provides a path of healing physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Her classes are heavy on cueing the 'what are you feeling' and encouraging everyone to tap into a new sense of awareness of both the physical and energy body. She loves to be real and teaches with a light-heartedness and sense of humor. She thinks life brings enough challenges and heaviness and yoga should be energizing and keep you wanting to come back for more!

She came to yoga originally for the physical benefits and found it had so much more to offer, bringing a new sense of direction, clarity, inner wellbeing, and peace to her life!

She created 'just breathe studios' to give others the opportunity to experience yoga & mindful movement practices in a dedicated, healing, and supportive atmosphere.
She looks forward to meeting YOU on the mat! Namaste

Lauren (Pappas) Repak

Instructor

200 hour Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 200, Yoga Alliance), 120 hour YogaFit for Warriors (trauma-sensitive yoga) Certified Teacher, Certified Pilates Teacher (CPT, Shenandoah University/Pilates Method Alliance), TRX Level 1 Suspension Trainer

Trained as a classical ballet dancer, Lauren’s interest in yoga and Pilates began as a teenager when she danced for the Johnstown Concert Ballet. She then attended Shenandoah University to earn a BA in Dance. While at Shenandoah, Lauren studied courses such as kinesiology, biomechanics, and anatomy and physiology. These courses both enhanced her dance/movement education and prepared her for SU’s Pilates teacher training program. She received her Pilates mat certification under Kim Gibilisco (PMA CPT, PMA Board Director) in 2006-2007. For several years, Lauren primarily practiced and taught Pilates as she was “on the fence” about yoga. ;) Lauren finally caved and decided to take a level one teacher training course through YogaFit in 2011.

Lauren now is a 200 hour RYT and specializes in trauma-sensitive yoga (yoga for PTSD, Addiction/Recovery, Restorative Therapeutics, Mood Balancing, Thai Energy/Massage). As a pre-PA student, her teaching style is anatomically-based with safety and efficacy at the foundation. Lauren also strives to tailor her classes for each of her students, creating an inclusive environment for all practitioners to experience. Most of all, Lauren’s energy helps her students find the will to “work” through their practice so that they can find their “bliss” not only in Savasana, but also in their day-to-day lives.

She enrolled in the Anjali Yoga Teacher Training program which became available at the Just Breathe Studio. She completed the program in 2014 and is RYT 200 hour certified through Yoga Alliance.
