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!

I am a certified yoga instructor with 200 hours of training in Hatha and Vinyasa styles of yoga. My yoga journey began as a way to connect more deeply with my body, mind, and soul, finding a way to move my body with more intention and compassion, and has evolved into a passion for building community and sharing the profound benefits of yoga with others.

Two years ago, I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer. She loved practicing yoga, and through my practice, I feel a strong connection to her and have found it to be a powerful tool for working through my grief. Yoga has been a cornerstone in my healing journey, providing a space for meditation, reflection, and honoring the roots of yoga philosophy.

For the past three years, I have been practicing at Riffs Yoga Studio, where I also work at the front desk. This vibrant community has become my second home, and I cherish the relationships I've built here.

When I'm not on the mat, I love to be around people, surf and hang out at the beach, go on bike rides, take long walks, cook delicious vegan meals, and I enjoy camping and being in the mountains. These activities keep me grounded and connected to nature, bringing balance and joy to my life.

I look forward to guiding you on your own yoga journey, helping you find balance, peace, and a deeper connection to yourself.

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!
