LUY TEACHERS
Lauren Urich
Owner & Teacher
200 Hr
Lauren started out her business working with private clients and doing special events like Beer Yoga and Yoga Parties. Lauren's followers grew and she found an old garage to teach her students in, two nights a week. That evolved into an even bigger space and she began teaching 7 classes a week until she found the right teachers to add to her team.
Lauren loves teaching all ages and she has a wide scope of yoga styles she teaches from. Lauren loves teaching athletes and people with injuries or limitations. She loves helping people connect to their bodies and learn to love the bodies they are in. She loves helping people achieve their goals, and she wants everyone to thrive and feel good!
Lauren is constantly learning and sharing her experiences with her students. She focuses on alignment and safety, and most importantly, having fun. Fair warning, you may find yourself laughing in her classes! Lauren says to "Enjoy yourself! That's what it's all about. It's about the journey of the relationship you build with yourself."
Scott Weinert
Studio Manager & Teacher
200 Hr
Scott has been a professional firefighter for over 24 years. He found his yoga practice in 2016 while trying to combat the effects of compassion fatigue caused by years of exposure to death and trauma. He credits his practice for the reason he’s in the best physical shape of his life; and for helping him establish a healthy, grounded mindset.
Scott completed his 200 hour teacher training in 2023 after practicing for over seven years. Scott's goal is to continuously grow his practice and share the benefits of yoga with his students. He hopes that his background and experiences will encourage people to find their own way to their yoga mat.
Rebecca Cooper
Teacher
200 Hr
Rebecca has been practicing yoga, off and on, as a companion to other movement modalities for the past 15 years.
She returned to her practice in a more dedicated and holistic way in 2022, as a tool to help heal a running injury, and find some balance after a period of chronic stress. She experienced the power that yoga has to foster and grow authentic self trust after injury and illness. As a result she decided to complete her 200 hour yoga teacher training to deepen her own practice and to share with others.
Rebecca loves to teach biomechanically informed, intuitive sequences that focus on the relationship between tension and ease in the body. Practitioners in her classes can expect a compassionate environment for exploration and self discovery, grounding throughout with breath and self-connection.
Kari Gammelgaard
Teacher
200 Hr
Kari’s yoga practice began over a decade ago, but her teaching journey began after a major health crisis in 2020.
Kari found inner peace and a quiet mind through yoga. Yoga helped her navigate a difficult time in her life and in a nut shell, yoga helped put her back together. She learned how to rebuild her balance and strength, and she loves helping others do the same.
Teaching yoga allows Kari to share the practice that offered her so much healing and growth while also holding space for authenticity. Kari invites her students to show up in a spirit of self-compassion, to use breath to pause the murmur of outside chaos, and to tap into the imperfect beauty, strength, and inner calm that yoga offers.
