In 2017 she spent seven days on the High Sierra Trail and finished the thru-hike on the top of Mt. Whitney. She is always looking forward to the next soul she can help heal through massage, yoga, and health coaching. If you are ready to heal your body, mind and soul, she will help guide you up your mountain.

Cheryl Wakefield

What a privilege it is to be able to offer a practice, in which I love, to
you. I have been a student of Yoga for over 20 years, finding guides via
YouTube and social media, then in our local community, back to the
innerwebs and Zoom in the most recent years. I have studied, to guide
myself into guiding you, through Sacred Paths Yoga, an international
and well renowned institution, with teachers of abundant history and
worldly knowledge. Through them, my practice deepened into a
spiritual lifestyle. This year, while I began to guide one-on-one asana
and meditation classes, I went back to study Prenatal and Postnatal
Yoga in addition to the study of the Sacred Doula through Awakening
Spirit.

My passion for yoga comes in the discovery of oneself. Yoga means
Union. I understand that to be the Union between You and You. Or
your body and your spirit. My first true awareness of this came in a hot
yoga class that I couldn’t leave. Finding a way to finish took my mind’s
willingness to believe in my body. This lesson became clearer when
hiking a mountain too big for my previous belief of self, no more.

I believe yoga is and should be accessible to all. My intention is to meet
you where you are and guide you into hearing your inner guide who
will move you into reaching your highest potential.

Come Play! Come Explore! Come Find YOU!

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. She is now living in SLO where she attends Cal Poly University.
