200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training - Bird Rock


This class is taught by:

Karina Gerschler

Karina is a native San Diegan who started her yoga journey by taking her first Vinyasa class in 2003. With this practice she ventured down a spiritual path that transformed her from the inside out, which grew into the desire to share it with others. Her first 200 hour training was in Vinyasa. Additional trainings include; Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training with world-renowned Ashtanga practitioner and instructor David Swenson along side his wife Kelley Washington. She also attended a 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training program with Mark Stephens in Santa Cruz, Ca. With emphasis on breath you'll move through your class to a meditative space. Expect to find the full mind, body, and spiritual experience. Students should come with an open mind ready to try new things and push their boundaries in a safe and loving environment. Her gentle and playful nature is evident in the community she creates in her class!

Lauren Rotunno

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!
