Lauren Sharon

YES Lebanon

Lauren developed an interest and appreciation for yoga in her early twenties, but became a more consistent practitioner after starting a family and having kids. Struggling with anxiety, personal trauma and feeling "too busy" to prioritize herself began to take a toll until she decided it was time to come back to yoga and focus on her wellbeing. Finally making the time to practice and finding the community at Yoga Essence was not only beneficial to her state of mind and connection to her own body, but also positively carried over into her relationships with loved ones and allowed her to be more present in daily life. In May 2019 she completed her 200hr YTT with Yoga Essence and found it to be one of the most amazing learning experiences, and is so grateful to her mentors and the community they have created. She wants to share what she loves most about yoga: that there is always more to learn, always room for growth, and every day you start again. She encourages students to prioritize themselves and to connect with their body on their mat.
