When we decided to complete teacher training it was because we had gained so much in our own personal yoga practice that we wanted to pass it along to others. We wanted others to feel what we felt on our mat. To feel comfortable, strong, and mostly...calm. Yoga has been such an amazing gift in our lives and we wanted others to feel that as well. This is also what we want you to feel throughout your own teacher training journey. We want you to feel comfortable, strong, calm, and empowered. There is something really powerful about leading a group of people through a physical practice that not only helps those that we lead, but also helps us as well. You will learn everything you need to know to lead a solid class. From the philosophy and history of yoga, to how to theme your class in a way that allows you to speak from your heart, to the activation of different muscle groups...you'll have everything you need to guide your students through their own journey.

Lauren has been teaching yoga since 2011 and is passionate about helping others find strength, balance, and healing through their practice. As a former athlete, she was first drawn to yoga in 2004 after being diagnosed with severe scoliosis. What began as a tool for flexibility and relief from chronic back pain, soon evolved into a lifelong journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Lauren is a 500 E-RYT and co-owner of NEXT yoga with her mom, Debbie. Over the years, she has taught thousands of classes, led teacher trainings, and inspired students of all levels with her dynamic and supportive teaching style. While Lauren has a deep love for several forms of physical fitness and wellness, yoga has always been the constant, her anchor both on and off the mat. She believes yoga builds not just physical strength and flexibility, but also mental clarity and resilience. Lauren currently leads the NEXT yoga Teacher Training Program and is available for private yoga sessions by appointment.

Sarah started on her yoga journey while doing P90X in her basement. What started as just a workout turned into so much more. Learning to integrate breath to movement, noticing how at peace she felt after class, and finding space on her mat just for her, became an essential part of Sarah's everyday. In 2014 Sarah decided to take a leap of faith and completed her 200 hour Teacher Training and has since earned her E-RYT 500 certification. What she has learned in all of her trainings, encouraged by her amazing husband and sons, has given her a unique voice that she loves to share with her students.

"The teachers at NEXT yoga are truly knowledgeable and wonderful trainers. They have a thorough and comprehensive delivery of the training material and really focus their teacher training on the fundamentals of the yogic philosophy coupled with proper alignment of the asanas through posture clinics, and how to safely assist and adjust your students. They also teach how to create a harmonious class atmosphere using several methods to deliver an overall great yoga experience for your students. The teachers were patient, kind and understanding and everything I would hope for and more in a trainer!"
"The best thing about the 200 hour TT, in my opinion, is that it is bountifully beneficial whether or not teaching yoga is your end goal. It is a deep dive into the yogic practice we all love. Lauren and Sarah are perfect complements to each other; they are endlessly encouraging, knowledgeable, fun, sincere, and thoughtful. They draw their students in with open arms and I feel so fortunate to have experienced their teaching. "
"The NEXT yoga 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training far exceeded my expectations. Lauren and Sarah are wonderful, knowledgeable, and inspiring instructors. Teacher training taught me that there is so much more to yoga than the physical practice. Yoga has come to mean connection--connection with my body, my breath, and my relationship with myself and others. I practice yoga to feel empowered, strong, and resilient, and I love to help others to feel their best on and off the mat."
"My 200 hr. teacher training at NEXT Yoga was an amazing experience. We began our journey in January 2020 and had to switch to virtual learning due to Covid in April up until graduation. For a moment I thought the whole experience will be ruined, but Lauren and Sarah did such an amazing job at adjusting and making our journey unforgettable. I can’t imagine going through this program anywhere else. During such a difficult year for everyone, teacher training became the one thing I excitedly looked forward to every month. I am grateful I had the opportunity to be a part of the program and meet such an amazing group of people and become part of such an amazing community."
