About Lauren, E-Ryt500

Heart Space Founder, Heart Space Studio Yoga Program Director, Creative Director

Lauren is a San Diego based yoga teacher whose mission is an evolution of the heart. Lauren believes the exploration of the world through the practice of yoga is her dharma and seeks to create community through raw, real connection. Classes are designed to be a perspective shifting experience of movement, creativity, and breath work. Lauren Autenrieth holds 500 hour advanced certifications in both Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga. She has continued her education in various modalities including Bhakti, Iyengar, yoga therapy, Thai massage, Yin, and pre and post-natal yoga. Over the last decade Lauren has come to believe that travel and experiences outside of your own are the foundations of empathy and understanding; if we as human beings are able to practice and live with mindfulness, seemingly small acts can make a profound impact. On retreats you can expect daily yoga and meditation classes, local and healthy meals, and full days of rich culture, adventure and raw connection. Lauren shares her passions both stateside and abroad through festivals, workshops, community events and transformational retreats.

When she isn’t traveling & teaching Lauren enjoys evenings home, snuggled up with her tiny puppies Dora and Manny.

Lauren is the founder of the San Diego based yoga and events company Heart Space.
