The Story Behind Lotus Yoga & Pilates
Lotus Yoga began with a dream: to bring the benefits of yoga to Watkinsville while fostering a welcoming community focused on health and wellness. Founder Lauren Heusner envisioned a space where individuals of all fitness levels could come together, challenge themselves, and achieve meaningful transformations—both physically and mentally.
Lauren’s personal journey with yoga started during her pregnancy with her first child and has continued to grow ever since. Her dedication to health and wellness is deeply rooted in her professional background as a Physical Therapist Assistant, a career she began in 2012.
In 2023, Lauren founded Lotus Yoga with a clear mission: to create a supportive environment that nurtures well-being, builds connections, and celebrates each individual’s unique strengths. In 2025, we expanded our offerings to include Reformer Pilates, officially becoming Lotus Yoga & Pilates. Together, our goal is to inspire, uplift, and empower our community to reach new heights.
