As her body awareness improved and she noticed how calm she felt, she started to practice yoga consistently by taking classes at a local studio. In 2010, Missy completed a 200-hour Teacher Training at UCSD and jumped into giving classes, eager to share her passion and knowledge with others. In 2012, she continued her education at Yoga One, completing another 200-hour Teacher Training. She recently became RYT 500 after completing Yoga One's 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training. As a teacher, Missy is warm and friendly. She grounds students in an ongoing awareness of breath while guiding them through poses with clear directions, modelling, and hands-on adjustments.

Daniela has been teaching various styles of yoga in the San Diego area since 2010. Her classes present yoga as a multi-faceted, detailed, and nuanced practice of unifying the physical, energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual layers of the human experience. Daniela's classes offer a container to simultaneously explore and integrate movement, breath work, meditation, and classical philosophical concepts in a way that empowers each yoga student. Daniela encourages students to express and engage with yoga in an accessible, authentic, and responsible way, however that may look and feel to them. Daniela believes that yoga is essentially an art and science of human empowerment and evolution on both personal and collective levels, centered around learning how to contextualize and "me" from within the "we".
