Merrin began a consistent Yoga practice in 2005 and she has been teaching Yoga since 2008. Since that time she has trained in several different styles (Vinyasa Flow, Hatha, and Hot Yoga), taken seminars and workshops around the world, and has learned to smile and breathe through challenging poses she once only dreamed of attempting.

Merrin's classes help students to mindfully build flexibility, strength, and the confidence to challenge themselves.  Classes are designed for practitioners of all levels.

Merrin has studied and practiced with well-respected Yoga teachers including Gerhard Gessner, Bryan Kest, Vinnie Marino, Tim Miller and Bikram Choudhury, among others. Merrin is also a graduate of Prana's Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training. She firmly believes that your practice itself is your best teacher. Just like Sri K. Patthabi Jois says:

In addition to teaching studio and outdoor yoga classes in San Diego and Los Angeles, Merrin also works as a freelance writer, occasionally documenting her yoga adventures at www.practicedharma.com.
