Missy began practicing yoga in 1997 by following along to a VHS tape in her living room. 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".

She completed a 200-hour teacher training at Yoga One in 2019 and wants to use yoga to create positive change and reach as many humans as possible. Her classes include elements of alignment-based flow with an emphasis on breathing and mindfulness. She aims to share a simple and playful approach while encouraging students to explore their own movement and breath.

Jackie believes everyone can practice yoga and is deeply committed to fostering an inclusive space for all.

Brittany has a regular practice throughout the wonderful studios of San Diego County. One studio in particular that she immediately loved was Yoga One. Brittany found Yoga One when she was running a local non-profit down the street from the studio. They generously supported her young students with yoga and guidance. When Brittany found out about Yoga One’s teacher training in 2013, she had to take it! From the teacher training and beyond, Brittany has gained so much insight, joy, understanding and community at Yoga One.

Brittany is a part time nonprofit consultant, full time mom, and looks at teaching with as much as a joy as her students do. If she is not working or running around after her daughter, you will find Brittany surfing with her husband, next to you at a yoga studio, walking her pup Jack Murphy and enjoying time with her family. What you will encounter at Britt’s class? A good playlist, friendship with your fellow yogis, a chance to play, and the joy a feeling your breathe.
