Lauren Alvarez
Lauren Alvarez is a Qualified MBSR teacher, with the Mindful Academy Solterreno. She is a Psychology Graduate BSc and a qualified Early Years and Primary School Teacher.
Lauren first became interested in mindfulness during a professional development course aimed at introducing mindfulness in the classroom. Since then Lauren has completed a variety of courses teaching mindfulness to young children. After completing the MBSR herself she decided to deepen her understanding of teaching mindfulness to adults and enrolled in the teacher training course. This course not only helped her grow professionally but it deepened her own practice too. Now Lauren is teaching the MBSR course through her company ‘The Mindful Hippo’ to adults. She continues to develop mindfulness awareness among the children in her school with a special interest in mindfulness for neurodivergent children. She hopes that one day mindfulness teaching will be accessible to all from a young age.
In her spare time, Lauren writes rhyming fiction based on mindfulness principles and enjoys sharing these with her own children and the children she teaches.
