About Lauren and John

Lauren Reese Busing, E-RYT 200 and Certified Yoga Tune Up® Teacher, is co-owner of MOVE+breathe. She has been involved in group fitness for over 20 years. She started with teaching aerobics, weight training classes, and triathlons. After several injuries, Lauren found herself in pain. Frustrated – because even though she was “fit”, her body was always hurting – she turned to yoga to find strength and healing for her injuries. Yoga not only helped her feel better physically, but yoga also taught her the importance of balance, both literally and figuratively.

Lauren’s classes are powerful yet playful and encouraging. Her creative sequencing mirrors her lighthearted personality, and each class is a new experience. Lauren’s goal is to help her students find balance for their bodies and their lives. She finds her passion in working with athletes (both privately, with sports teams, and with both college and professional athletes), leading adult yoga retreats, and teaching kids yoga. Lauren was a PrAna featured yogi on REI’s Yoga for Athletes Live Tour, and she has studied with Sage Rountree, Jill Miller, and Leslie Kaminoff.

Certifications include RYT 200 Lifted Heart Yoga School, Certified Sage Yoga for Athletes Teacher (one of only 33 in the country!), Certified Yoga Tune Up® Teacher, Certified Roll Model Method® Teacher, Certified Functional Movement Systems, Certified Grounded Kids Instructor, and Certified Yoga Fit.

John Busing played college football at Miami University and professionally in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, and New York Giants. While involved in athletics growing up he developed a passion for the training and preparation it took to achieve results. Upon retirement in 2012, he moved into fitness and performance to follow that passion. Since then he has worked with all segments of the population including youth, college and professional athletes as well as those wanting to achieve fitness and wellness goals. John is looking forward to sharing his fitness, health and wellness philosophy with you in order to live a healthy lifestyle and move well.

John’s strength classes incorporate mindful movement with resistance to strengthen the body and mind.
