Instructors & Method

Lauren Barr
Lauren came to BeFit in 2005 in search of a good workout, but found much more. After that first class she was completely hooked on the physicality of the practice, and intrigued by the added philosophical and emotional benefits. She began attending classes regularly, and soon noticed not only physical changes but also a positive difference in the way she handled stress, related to others, and existed in the world.

Lauren began instructor training with Bobbi in 2008 and now teaches at BeFit. She views her classes as a time of mutual learning, and has found her own practice enriched through teaching. She seeks to teach with understanding and to allow each student to have their own individual experience while remaining true to Ashtanga traditions.

When she's not at the studio, Lauren uses yoga to stay grounded while working full time in state government and tries to let her life off the mat be an extension of her practice. She also enjoys spending time with friends and family, being at home with her greyhound, Quinn and anything that involves being outside in nature- especially an outdoor summer practice!
