Lauren Juarez is the visionary founder and owner of Anarchy Yoga, a studio dedicated to pushing the boundaries of tradition. With over a decade of experience in various forms of yoga, Lauren believes in creating a space where individuals can explore their limits, challenge societal norms, and embrace their authentic selves.
Lauren's life has been a remarkable testament to resilience and the power of transformation. At 13 years old, she experienced a life-threatening horse accident that could have derailed her dreams. Instead, it ignited a fierce determination within her to overcome obstacles and embrace life fully. Her mother, in the final stages of cancer, imparted a poignant message: “Lauren, Teach yoga.”
After years of navigating the ups and downs of recovery from her accident, Lauren faced another significant challenge at age 44 when she was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Rather than allowing this diagnosis to define her, she drew upon her past experiences and the strength she had cultivated over the years.
Inspired by her mother’s words and her own passion for wellness, Lauren founded Anarchy Yoga Studio in New Orleans. The studio is quickly becomng a sanctuary for individuals seeking not just physical fitness but also emotional and spiritual healing. Through her unique approach to yoga, Lauren fosters a community of support and empowerment, encouraging others to embrace their own journeys of resilience.
Lauren's story is one of triumph over adversity, a celebration of the human spirit’s ability to adapt and thrive, and a reminder that even in the face of life’s greatest challenges, we can find purpose and connection.
Anarchy Yoga promotes the idea that yoga is not just a physical practice but a radical way to reclaim personal power. Her classes encourage participants to question norms, embrace imperfections, and cultivate a sense of community.
Lauren’s teaching style is energetic and inclusive, inviting students of all levels to participate. Her goal is to create a judgment-free environment where everyone can feel safe to express themselves and grow.
Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to yoga, Lauren welcomes you to join the Anarchy Yoga community. Explore your practice, challenge your boundaries, and discover the transformative power of yoga. The studio is located in a historical building that was home of The Enraged Chicken.
