Lauren became an accredited T’ai Chi Chih teacher in November 2018. She first discovered T’ai Chi Chih in Montgomery, Texas, in 2016 and since then has incorporated T’ai Chi Chih into her daily life. After moving to Sault Ste. Marie in the Upper Peninsula in Michigan she realized she was missing a T’ai Chi Chih community. So, she set about to become an accredited teacher so she could form her own community with whom she could share this relaxing moving meditation.

She has been teaching at the Northern Life Yoga Studio since her accreditation and adapted to a virtual format during the Spring of 2020. She has also donated her time weekly to lead a group of her neighbors in T’ai Chi Chih where the ages range from 12 to 95-years young. It is in this environment she has gained experience with leading seated T’ai Chi Chih as well.

As a certified Montessori (American Montessori Association) teacher and a gold medal figure skating coach for over two decades, she has a natural ability for teaching and connecting with people (adults and children). Currently she is the Academic Summer Camp Director at the Lake Superior State University serving grades 1 through 12. She especially loves seeing the campers ignite their chi and resonate with the movements – like Six Healing Sounds!

During the 2020-2021 school year, Lauren will splitting her time between Sault Ste. Marie and Columbus, Ohio. Look for her to be teaching or leading a group in a Columbus Metro Park or yoga studio in the near future!
