Lauren Henrici’s introduction to yoga was asana. As a fitness instructor and exercise enthusiast, she was both humbled and intrigued with the physical aspects of yoga. Asana opened a door to the Eight-Limb Path of Yoga of which she is a devout student. Lauren’s passion for yoga is surpassed only by her passion to share it with others.

Lauren began her journey into the fitness industry 16 years ago and was introduced to yoga in a gym setting. She felt an immediate and powerful connection and began her yoga training with Yogafit in 2003. Lauren completed her 200hr RYT through Yogafit in 2007 with specialty training in both pre-natal and senior yoga. Lauren has also completed Reiki Training Levels I and II and Stott Pilates Intensive Reformer Training. She studied Thomas Myer’s Anatomy Trains for Yoga (Myofascial Meridians) and received her certificate of completion for Kinesis with  Anatomy Trains. She has attended classes, teacher training and workshops with Rolf Gates, Kofi Busia, Surya Chandra Das, Anna Forrest, Shiva Rea, and Jill Miller.

Lauren's multi-level vinyasa class builds on asana and links it with breath awareness to create a dynamic and challenging flow.  Students will enjoy the benefits of increased muscular strength, body awareness, flexibility and balance. Lauren’s hope is that you will leave her class feeling both energized and peaceful.

 A life long resident of Hamden, Lauren is married to Craig and is the mother of Luke, Jillian and Timothy.
