Lauren Pyjar

Lauren has been teaching Yoga Asana since 2022, after having practiced as a student for 8 years. She designs her classes to unlock her students’ chakras through intentional movement, powerful breath work, and focused meditation. She is dedicated to honoring the history and traditions of yoga, and opens and closes each class with a meaningful mantra.

Back in 2023, Lauren traveled to India to engage in deeper studies of yoga, where she received teachings from masters of mantra, philosophy, meditation, and Bhakti. She tries to include aspects of all of these techniques into her classes, as well as into her own practice.

Lauren has completed 235 hours of formal study in Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yoga Nidra; in addition to hundreds of hours of informal study of yogic texts and philosophy.

Outside of yoga, Lauren loves to host women’s circles, surf, travel, climb, and read silly books :)



Lauren Pyjar instructs the following:
  • Hatha
  • This is an all-levels static practice where you can expect to hold traditional yoga postures for several breaths, allowing time to explore alignment and engagement within your body. Hatha provides a strong foundation for stability, balance, and full-body awareness. While this practice is slow, it can still be physically challenging. Optional opportunities to explore more advanced postures may be offered, with modifications available. Unlike Vinyasa, this class does not emphasize chaturangas, though they may occasionally be incorporated with control and intention.

  • Slow Flow
  • A great class for all levels.

    Slow Flow is an unhurried vinyasa class, balancing breath and body. This practice takes a slower pace providing the opportunity to build proper alignment and explore the intricacies of each pose. Slow does not necessarily mean easy, expect a moderate level of challenge in this class.


  • Vinyasa
  • This is an intermediate class and yoga experience is recommended.

    Vinyasa is an active breath to movement practice that includes postures to create heat, build strength and flexibility. Advanced postures may be offered, though the class remains accessible to most who have some experience with yoga. This class incorporates binds, arm balances,  backbends, and chaturangas. 

  • Slow Flow with Musician
  • A great class for all levels.

    Slow Flow is an unhurried vinyasa class, balancing breath and body. This practice takes a slower pace providing the opportunity to build proper alignment and explore the intricacies of each pose. Slow does not necessarily mean easy, expect a moderate level of challenge in this class.
