Lauren Fritsch

An accomplished athlete and NCAA rower at the University of Virginia, Lauren has been involved in fitness her entire life. She has competed at a high level in swimming, rowing, and triathlon and found that Pilates and yoga were the perfect complement to her high impact endurance sports. Now, however, Pilates and yoga have become a lifestyle. Inspired by the teaching of Baron Baptiste, Lauren instructs power yoga classes throughout the city of Richmond, introducing beginners to the principles of breath and alignment and advanced practitioners to a dynamic flow that challenges the body and the spirit.

She has a passion for living her authentic life, thereby empowering everyone around her to do the same. In her free time, Lauren likes to travel, hang out with her large family, and paint pictures.
