Lauren Somers
Yoga Instructor
Lauren walked into her first yoga class while pursuing her bachelor’s degree at Grand Valley State University. What began as a way to relieve the stress of college life quickly evolved into a deeper journey of self-love, growth, and connection. After graduating, she found a local studio she could call home and immersed herself in her personal practice, falling in love with the supportive and inspiring yoga community.
In November 2017, Lauren completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Soulshine Yoga. She went on to earn certifications in Chair Yoga and Aerial Yoga, and received additional training in Kids Yoga. As a former preschool assistant teacher, Lauren especially enjoys sharing yoga with children and practicing alongside her favorite little yogis.
In the spring of 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Lauren launched her own business, Hummingbird Heart Yoga LLC, where she offers personalized private and small group sessions in both traditional and aerial yoga. Off the mat, she manages a vegetable and flower garden with her boyfriend, providing fresh produce to his local pizza food truck.
Lauren is deeply grateful for the opportunity to share space with students, family, friends, fellow yogis, and mentors. Teaching yoga is her calling, and she is honored to continue building meaningful connections through the practice.
