Lauren Oberlin

Teaching Schedule: Wednesdays at 4:30pm (Energetic).

Lauren dipped her toe in the yoga practice as a teenager and it slowly grew on her; in many ways, she grew up on the mat. Yoga eventually became a daily practice, and after receiving her degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, yoga teacher training was the next step down the path. 200-hour certification snowballed into following with meditation teacher training, followed by a specialized training that informs much of Lauren's teaching style today. She has plans to enroll in a 500-hour program in the near future (hello, Capricorn!).

Her art practice and yoga practice inform each other; both revolve around the transmutability of the body, the internal world of the mind, and choosing your own adventure. Her flows and guided meditation are packed with creativity and often inspired by the journey of the Tarot. Whether the sequence is gentle and slow or vigorous and strong, her approach is lighthearted and loving.
