Lauren Pappa

Yoga Instructor

Lauren began practicing yoga in 2008, at the age of 22. As a recent college graduate and former athlete, Lauren came to yoga very stressed and very stiff. She was looking for a different modality of moving her body, and yoga turned out to be it. In addition to the physical practice, Lauren was drawn to the spiritual practice as well. Not only was yoga a way to move, it was also a way to live; thus, Lauren was hooked. She became a dedicated student of Anusara Yoga and studied with the many wonderful teachers at Dancing Foot Yoga in Red Bank. She completed her teacher training in 2014 and has been teaching yoga at various studios, schools and beaches in Monmouth County ever since. Her classes are taught in the Anusara tradition, with an emphasis on the heart-opening quality of the poses and moving with the flow of grace. In her life off the mat, Lauren is a mother and school teacher and enjoys spending time with her family, reading, cooking and stargazing.
