Slow Flow with Musician

This class is taught by:

Mahri Stewart

Mahri is a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), 500-Hour Certified Yoga Instructor, and a Reiki Master. She also has certifications to teach prenatal, postnatal, and children's yoga; and enjoys teaching yoga to people of all ages! She thoughtfully curates classes and offerings that are accessible, gentle, and nourishing; and her intentions are to create a sacred container for everyone to show up exactly as they are.

When Mahri is not teaching yoga, she loves to spend time at the beach, travel the world (she's lived in 5 different countries!), cook, and spend quality time with her family and friends!

Lauren Pyjar

Lauren has been teaching Yoga Asana since 2022, after having practiced as a student for 8 years. She designs her classes to unlock her students’ chakras through intentional movement, powerful breath work, and focused meditation. She is dedicated to honoring the history and traditions of yoga, and opens and closes each class with a meaningful mantra.

Back in 2023, Lauren traveled to India to engage in deeper studies of yoga, where she received teachings from masters of mantra, philosophy, meditation, and Bhakti. She tries to include aspects of all of these techniques into her classes, as well as into her own practice.

Lauren has completed 235 hours of formal study in Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yoga Nidra; in addition to hundreds of hours of informal study of yogic texts and philosophy.

Outside of yoga, Lauren loves to host women’s circles, surf, travel, climb, and read silly books :)

Jesse Boles

Jesse began her journey with yoga her junior year of high school. She practiced at a local studio with her mom in Fredericksburg, VA. It wasn't until Jesse's college years that she truly fell in love with the lifestyle of yoga. Her passion for yoga grew as she practiced at a local studio and completed her 200-hr RYT Training in 2020. She taught middle school for two years while continuing to teach yoga. Teaching middle school only strengthened her values in holding space for others to heal. She believes in whole body health and is passionate about guiding others to build strength and resilience both mentally and physically. Jesse started teaching yoga and meditations online (YouTube: @Jesseevelyn) after moving across the country from her family and home studio that helped her grow into who she is now. She is ecstatic to hold space virtually for her mom and students back in VA, while also being able to teach in person here at Riffs Yoga Studio. She is thankful to be part of the community as she continues to grow and create her life here in San Diego.

Jaclyn Miles

Jaclyn Miles is an international yoga teacher from Canada, living in San Diego. She has taught classes in Costa Rica, Italy, and loves to travel almost as much as she loves yoga!

She began practicing yoga around 15 years ago has been teaching now for almost 11. She started her yoga practice for the physical benefits but has stayed for everything else. It has truly made her a more connected, present human.

To Jaclyn, yoga is a reconnection; a

deeper dive into ourselves and a bringing together of each other. A practice to get back to our roots and our natural rhythm. To remind ourselves - we are warriors,
we are creators, we are magic.
More importantly, she believes in always being a student.

Jaclyn's classes are energetic, playful and full of opportunities to slow down, breathe and practice gratitude. Moments to truly nourish the soul.

A great class for all levels.

Slow Flow is an unhurried vinyasa class, balancing breath and body. This practice takes a slower pace providing the opportunity to build proper alignment and explore the intricacies of each pose. Slow does not necessarily mean easy, expect a moderate level of challenge in this class.
