Lauren Udsen

Lauren’s style to teach­ing yoga empha­sizes the val­ue of each individual’s unique sen­si­tiv­i­ties & per­spec­tive. Her yogi­ni San­skrit name, Liilavati sums up her phi­los­o­phy of yoga and life; the expres­sion of the cos­mic dance or sim­ply stat­ed as divine play.

​

With her back­ground in run­ning, she has a strong under­stand­ing of over­all health, fit­ness and body aware­ness. It was through run­ning where she first dis­cov­ered her love of yoga for the phys­i­cal sup­port and bal­ance it pro­vid­ed to an active lifestyle along with the phi­los­o­phy and spir­i­tu­al­i­ty that seemed to keep pro­vid­ing gems of knowl­edge and clarity.

​

She received her 200hr Yoga Teacher Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion through Yoga Alliance in 2011 in Eugene Ore­gon where she stud­ied through the Tai Chi Yoga Cen­ter, focus­ing pri­mar­i­ly on Anan­da Mar­ga ‘Path of Bliss’ Med­i­ta­tion & Hatha Yoga. Incor­po­rat­ing breath, restora­tive asanas and sub­tle body adjust­ments in her class­es she invites and inspires you to play, move and express a prac­tice as unique as you are, uplift­ing your mind, body and spirit.

​

She cur­rent­ly teach­es all over the cen­tral coast and has a diverse back­ground teach­ing a broad spec­trum of styles includ­ing, hatha, vinyasa flow, yin, restora­tive & med­i­ta­tion classes.

​

When not found on the mat you can find Lau­ren explor­ing, run­ning, hik­ing or cre­at­ing art­work and jew­el­ry, which are all a con­stant source of inspi­ra­tion and flow in her life.

Growing up as a dancer and athlete, she had enjoyed fitness and movement, and she appreciated how yoga expanded these practices with a mind-body connection. She recently graduated from the Levity Yoga 200 hour training at The Space studio in Visalia, California where she was led by Kristen Bini McQuaide.

Kellee Rasor

My name is Kellee and I am a central coast native~ I grew up in Atascadero, spending my free time riding horses, doing gymnastics, dancing, and competing in equestrian vaulting. My life-long love of movement is what has led me to become a registered yoga teacher. In 2015 I completed my 200-hour training through YogaWorks, a comprehensive program focusing on alignment and foundation. I completed my Foundations of Trust teacher training with FeetUp, my aerial yoga teacher training through Better Days Yoga, and restorative yoga teacher training with Brooke West Yoga. I have been certified to teach Pole Fitness through YogaFlirt, The Pole Fitness Studio, ElevatED, and Vertical Art Athletics. My previous teaching experience as an Equestrian Vaulting coach and as a Pole Fitness instructor gives me a unique perspective in my yoga teaching style. I love the way yoga keeps me feeling grounded; yet elevated. I look forward to sharing my love of yoga and movement with YOU!
