About Yasmin 

RYT 500 hrs and E-RYT 200 hrs

 

It’s important to me to develop a connection with my students. I always strive to create a judgment-free and safe space when I am teaching. My wish is that everyone leaves feeling better than when they stepped into the yoga class.

​

My classes are creative and I love yoga with flow.

 

I firmly believe that everything we do creates a ripple effect throughout the world, and even a small act of kindness can make a significant impact. I want to share my passion for yoga and hope to support and positively impact those who take the time to join me.

​

The first time I took a yoga class was in 2002 when I accompanied my husband to a studio in San Diego, CA. He had recently started practicing to improve his breath awareness due to asthma. I fell in love with yoga from that day and have been practicing ever since.

​

I got pregnant with twins a month after receiving my RYT-200 Hours Yoga Teacher Certificate from Sivananda Ashram in Neyyar, India, in December 2008. Teaching prenatal yoga while being pregnant has given this type of yoga a special place in my hear

​

My additional certifications include RYT-300 Hours Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Gerard Gessner at Prana Yoga Center in La Jolla, CA, USA, as well as certifications in Prenatal, Yin, Yoga Wall, and Rest & Restore Yoga. Passionate about deepening my knowledge, I continue to participate in various courses, such as Functional Anatomy Training, Reiki, Pranayama, Sound Bath Training, Trauma-Conscious Yoga, Yoga for Baby Boomers & Seniors, and Yoga for Stress & Anxiety. I am registered as a yoga teacher with the Yoga Alliance.

​

I have taught a wide range of yoga styles, including Core, Hatha, Hot, Nidra, Prenatal, Rest & Restore, Yin, and Vinyasa Yoga. My experience also extends to facilitating Kids Yoga and Sound Baths

 

I am a devoted meditator with over twenty-five years of practice, trained in bothTranscendental Meditation and The Tibetan Buddhist “Pointing Out Way” of Mahamudra.  

 

I love traveling and experiencing new cultures and places. I grew up in Sweden but moved to California in the 90s. I have lived and taught yoga in California, New York, and for several years in Australia. Now, I reside in San Diego, California, with my loving husband and amazing twin daughters.
