Abigail is from New Jersey, where she grappled with anxiety and depression until yoga and meditation helped me gain control of my mind and overcome my battles. These practices empowered her to master her mind, prompting her athletic and leadership-driven spirit to share her revelations with others. Relocating to Ocean Beach (OB) in 2015, she deepened her commitment by undergoing transformative Yoga Teacher Training at Indie Yoga. Watching the transformation of the hearts, mind, and spirits while building a relationship with her students is what keeps bringing her back to teach.

Sara's yoga journey began in 2012 during her travels in Tel Aviv, Israel. As someone with a dance background, she immediately felt drawn to the physical practice, recognizing the discipline and release it offered for not only mental and emotional well-being but also spiritual growth. In 2013, while pursuing a degree in speech-language pathology, she completed her first YTT, discovering the profound connection between language and creative expression in the context of yoga. This realization motivated her to explore further, leading her to embrace Ashtanga Yoga and undertake a second YTT in 2017, deepening her understanding of yoga's traditions and honing her teaching skills. Despite her full-time role as a speech-language pathologist, Sara continues to share her passion for Yoga. Her teaching style is a harmonious fusion of diverse and challenging elements, anchored in yoga's foundations while fostering innovation and inspiration. As she blends the ancient traditions with modern innovation, Sara's classes are a beautiful reflection of her passion and dedication to yoga and its transformative potential. Whether she is guiding newcomers or experienced practitioners, Sara's classes provide a safe and welcoming space where all can explore, evolve, and discover the profound beauty of yoga.

I first found yoga in 2014 when I was suffering from chronic back pain. Yoga helped alleviate not only some of my physical pain, but more importantly it helped lift me out of the depression I had been battling for years. I truly believe that yoga saved my life. I knew that I wanted to share the mental and physical benefits of this practice with others after experiencing so much healing myself. I obtained my 200hr YTT certificate in 2018 at Indie, and nothing brings me more joy than facilitating growth and healing within others. I strive to offer classes that are accessible to students of all levels and abilities, with a focus on finding one's inner strength and connecting to one's inner voice. Outside of the studio, you can find me trying out a new recipe, cuddling with a friend's pet, or getting down to some funky techno."

Dani is a registered yoga teacher, spiritual movement facilitator, social activist, and published author. She has a passion for self-expression through movement and exploring the conscious and subconscious aspects of herself. After living with an impending need for self-discovery and searching for resilience from trauma, Dani centered her practice and teachings around feminine embodiment and somatic healing through spiritual guidance. When she is outside of the yoga studio, you might find her buying or selling second-hand fashion, practicing her amateur dancing skills, or enjoying all that nature has to offer both near and far.

Mae's teaching style is deep and intuitive. As a teacher, her joy lies in co-creating a space with others to explore their own unique expressions and bring greater awareness to the body and mind, subsequently influencing life beyond the mat. Her classes are heavily influenced by her work as a massage therapist; combining elements of yoga, meditation, and massage. Mae's love for yoga began as a teenager in New York. A seed was planted upon realizing the transformational benefits of yoga, and she began teaching in 2013. Mae completed her second YTT in 2017, and has taught and led workshops at studios, festivals, Stanford University, events, and fitness centers throughout the years."

Megan has been readily and steadily riding the wave of yoga since 2012. Since 2012, she has moved up and down the vibrant West Coast, currently enjoying the sun-filled, salty breeze embrace of San Diego. Through her moves, Megan has gotten a chance to try a kaleidoscope of yoga styles and practice with some really awesome teachers, absorbing their wisdom like sunbeams. Although very influenced by some of her teachers, Megan walks in her own footprints on the sands of yoga, and brings her own unique way of teaching to the mat. Megan likes to teach a well-rounded class that blends creativity, dynamic energy, and a nice splash of challenge. She's all about those surf-y flows and playful transitions - but also with every practice a chance to give you a ride on the currents of empowerment and a chance to help you surf the seas of your own potential. Hang loose, dive in, and hope to see you on your mat! RYT 200 (Bird Rock Yoga, 2019) RYT 200 (Indie Yoga OB, 2022)

I believe that the simple action of showing up on your mat creates a ripple effect of positivity to many other seemingly unrelated aspects of your life. I love to create an atmosphere filled with great music, unity in breath, equal parts ferocity and gentleness, and of course lots of deliciously sweet & sweaty detoxification! In 2017 I completed YTT at Indie Yoga and consider it one of the is best places on the planet.
