Tiny Roots Yoga
About
After serving four years in the Navy, I decided I needed a mental boot camp. Yoga kept me sane and felt welcomed while the military created a cold and lonely atmosphere. I desired to make others feel the way my teachers made me feel, whole. I began my yoga journey with a 200hr Hatha alignment training in Samara, Costa Rica. An interest sparked to teach kid's yoga. I later got certified in teaching "Tots to teens. I am a volunteer kids yoga teacher on occasional days for an elementary school in Rancho San Diego. Even though, I felt ready to teach after my Costa Rica training, I was drawn to the 200hr teacher training at Indie Yoga, in Ocean Beach, San Diego. Here I established a connection with more local San Diego, yoga teachers. Yoga was a hobby that turned into a habit and soon became a life style.

Hilcrest, Farmers market. I live across the street from the farmers market and find it necessary to make my way there every Sunday! Fresh produce, local venders and newly brewed coffee; can not beat it.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What is your view of Yoga? Who do you study under? What is your style of teaching? Do you practice often?
