Meet Lauren.
Lauren Bocka (she/her) is a yoga teacher (RYT-200), astrologer, and women’s circle facilitator. After 7 years of working as a Registered Nurse, Lauren left her job in 2026 to pursue an evolving path to help women feel connected to their inherent rhythms, seasons, and cycles.
Her first love and eternal companion was—and still is—the Moon, who guides and informs many of her practices today.
When she’s not teaching, you can find Lauren buying cosmetically-challenged vegetables from the farmer's market, reading three books at a time very slowly, or supporting the robust local business scene in Rochester, NY. She has two cats, of whom she often complains of bullying her into feeding them. And, she is on an endless quest to find the perfect Caesar salad.
