Adrian got into yoga after needing a real life change. He decided to take a chance on a yoga class after hearing about its positive effects on the mind and body. He has a strong background in rock climbing, so he took to the strength and balance aspects of yoga quickly. Finding a real love and challenge in what he likes to call the architecture of movement, as it primes and conditions us for all other types of movement, he knew instantly that this was going to be something life changing. After benefiting so much from yoga in mind and body, and feeling first hand the transformational effects on his entire outlook and perspective on life, he felt very called to teach. Adrian received his 200 hour Ashtanga training along with his Rocket teacher certification from Asta Yoga in San Francisco, CA. He completed his 300 hour certification under the guidance of Marie Belle and Roots Love Yoga. With the benefit of retrospect, he feels that what we are all searching for is in fact searching for us too.

Lauren started her journey into yoga in high school, when her aunt gave her a mat and a yoga video, thinking it would complement her background in dance and movement. She dabbled with a home practice through the years, but nothing ever really stuck. Eventually, while going through some big life changes, she was drawn to the practice while looking for something more meaningful in life. As her practice intensified, Lauren felt a strong calling to share her love of yoga with others, and has been doing so for over a decade. She completed her 200 hour training under the guidance of J Miles, followed by her Rocket teacher training at Asta Yoga in San Francisco with Steve Pyka and Rene Henley. She completed her 300 hour certification at Asheville Yoga Center. Along with Rocket, Hatha, and Vinyasa, she is trained in Restorative, Meditation, Kundalini, Trauma Informed Methods, and has completed the Meridian Yoga Technique Levels 1 + 2 certifications. She co-founded The Yoga Dojo with Adrian McCavitt, and co-facilitates The Yoga Dojo’s 200 and 300 hour Yoga Teacher Trainings and leads yoga retreats around the world. Her main goals for her students are for them to be able to practice without judgment or expectation, to tune in and reconnect the mind-body-spirit with the present moment, and have fun (probably including a couple of laughs) while practicing.
