Our Instructors

Lauren Bierman

Lauren founded Green Mountain Shakti in 2024 and teaches kickboxing and yoga. She found a love of kickboxing as a teenager and started teaching in her early 20s. She loves the confidence it brings to those who try it and especially loves to teach teens and youth.

Her yoga journey began as a way to stay fit, and Lauren quickly realized that it did something much more than that. Years of hot yoga practice turned into a love of restorative and hatha, pranayama and meditation, and eventually she found her busy mind could actually find stillness. She completed her 200-hour certification with Allie Van Fossen and loves to share restorative and hatha practices with anyone who will listen.
