Lauren McHale has returned to her hometown after spending the greater part of the last decade teaching and training in San Francisco. Lauren began her teaching career in 2011 in Venice Beach, CA where she taught yoga and indoor cycling classes after graduating from Loyola Marymount University. In 2013, she was on the opening team for the Bay Area/San Francisco SoulCycle market and a senior instructor. Throughout her tenure at SoulCycle, Lauren continued to take on corporate, personal training, and private yoga clients as well. Her success as a fitness professional is rooted in transparency and openness. Her coaching style is focused on taking the intimidation factor out of self-care and strength training, and creating an environment for connection, motivation, and inspiration. Lauren is a certified personal trainer, group personal training specialist, certified corrective exercise specialist, meditation guide and yoga teacher. When she is not teaching or training, you can find Lauren cuddling her bulldog, named Bacon, or traveling to her favorite place in the world—Lake Tahoe.
