Hello yogis! I am Lauren Rotunno, certified 200hr yoga teacher. I began practicing yoga when I moved to San Diego from the midwest Chicago land area. Through finding my daily practice, I started linking my breath, mind, body and experiences together which formed a heightened sense of importance with love on all levels... individual self and beings surrounding it. My yoga teaching has enabled me to discover my passion for bringing the traditions of yoga to my classes while also bringing awareness to the anatomy. I am here to help guide students, to look within, listen deeply and discover awareness. Cultivating a community free from judgement!

With her free spirit and lion heart, Alyssa is continuously humbled as a student of Yoga. She has
recognized her practice as a reflection of her daily life; embracing constant reminders to integrate the
breath through it all. She completed her 200-hour teacher training in the Classical Hatha Yoga style at
The San Diego School of Healing Arts. Over the years she has become an E-RYT and has led numerous
teacher trainings at the Maui Yoga Shala. Her studies include many different styles of yoga, deeming
Anusara, a branch of Hatha Yoga, to be a deep passion of hers. This is revealed in her classes as she honors the importance of aligning the body, heart, and mind to absorb a sense of grace through these
transformational experiences on the mat. Alyssa is a mommy and a full-time student working on
finishing her second bachelor’s degree in Ayurvedic health and integrative wellness. She works with
clients on healing their bodies from within and is a distributor for Kangen water.

Lo Kirmil is a 200-Hour RYT with an additional 210 hours of yogic studies in philosophical theology and pranayama.

 

An avid student of the restorative modality, Lo draws inspiration for her Restorative and slow flow yoga classes from classic restorative teachers like Judith Lasater as well as a more modern restorative lineage from Kaya Mindlin called Supreme Release Yoga (SRY). Weaving concepts of stillness, child-like play, self-massage, pranayama, and tasteful music, Lo's classes are intuitive and easeful allowing students to relax, explore the subtle realms of their bodies and minds, and feel deeply connected to their hearts and communities.

 

She would describe her teaching style as 'verbally hands off, physically hands on'. She doesn't typically offer 'dharma talks' in her class, but instead uses healing touch and loving kindness to draw intentionality and epiphany out of her students.

 

She ends each class with a brief song on the harmonium and a rolling wave of student-participated OMs.
