Meet Our Guides

My yoga journey began in 2012, evolving into a deep study and practice. Certified as an RYT 200 and registered with Yoga Alliance since 2014, with continued education. I specialize in Hatha yoga, focusing on Yin, Restorative, Surya & Chandra Namaskâr, delving into Charkas, Sound and Ayurveda. My yoga is gentle and nurturing. I utilize props—blankets, blocks, and bolsters—to enhance and support the benefits of each pose for your body's well-being.
Opening a yoga studio in Cayucos has been a long-held dream of mine. There was need in the community for a safe and loving space, where all are welcome and kindness matters.
I've dedicated over a decade to guiding myself and others through yoga. This journey has taught me the importance of honoring the rhythm of the universe that guides us all together.
“My love for our town & community infuses this sacred space. The vision is for all who step into Cayucos Yoga will find the same sense of belonging, love and community.”

Operations Manager & Guide

As a 200-hr RYT and Operations Manager, I wear a few different hats around here—from supporting our studio operations to guiding practice on the mat.

Yoga became my lifeline years ago during a period of intense stress and anxiety. The combination of breathwork, movement, and meditation completely restored my mind and body, leading me to step into guiding so I could share that healing space with others.

When I’m not at the studio, I’m soaking up life with my two kids (now 3 and 1!). In my practice, you can expect a thoughtful Vinyasa flow balanced with deep stretches and grounding meditation. I look forward to meeting you!

I found yoga during the pandemic as a way to workout from home. As yoga studios opened up, I wanted to experience the community setting that yoga studios create. I noticed in every class whether it was gentle, or vinyasa that there was more to yoga than just exercise. Yoga brought more unity between my body, breath, and mind. I also noticed that yoga brought more peace to my mind, and after every class I felt like I was able to begin again. Throughout my journey trying different yoga classes I found myself gravitating a lot to Aerial Yoga. I was able to use the silks as props to either deepen a pose or make a pose more accessible. I also found that the silks helped be build strength in my upper body. Being that I am hyper mobile in my arms, I found building strength hard or simply not fun. However, with Aerial yoga I was able to build more strength in a way that excited me. As a way to dig deeper into my yoga practice, I decided to do an Aerial Yoga and Yoga Teacher Training in 2023. I completed my Aerial Yoga Certification in summer 2023. In January 2024, I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at The Center Studio in San Luis Obispo.
My teaching style is typically a Vinyasa Flow with connections to the five elements, or to our subtle bodies. At the end of the day, I strives for everyone to be welcomed, to be free, and to have fun!

Hi, I’m Dylan!As a kid, my mom introduced me to yoga, and I later found a lasting community while completing my RYT-200 as an undergrad.

I primarily teach Vinyasa-style classes and enjoy contrasting energetic breath-to-movement sequences with deep stretching and meditation. I’m drawn to the creative aspect of both teaching and practicing yoga. My classes are meant to be challenging, inclusive, and grounding, and I aim to create a space where we can move in community, welcoming endless variations of asanas and practices.

Off my mat, I work in healthcare and love spending time outside. Having grown up on the Central Coast, I’m grateful to be home and to be part of a community that shares a love of mindful movement.

Nina

Hi, I’m Nina!
My personal journey through yoga evolved from a physical pursuit into a spiritualway of life. What began as a desire for physical benefits blossomed into a deep gratitude for the effects yoga offers the mind & the soul. My teaching is rooted in a gratefulness for movement, breath & deep body awareness, supporting the belief that every yoga shape is beautiful in every body.
Outside of the studio, my life as a civil engineer provides balance, and yoga serves as acreative outlet that nurtures a completely different side of my brain.
When I’m not on my mat, you can find me outdoors, running, surfing, hiking, you name it. Having worked in various community roles over the years, I am so excited to connect with the incredible people of the Central Coast through the shared journey of breath, sound and movement.

Hi, I’m Stephanie ◡̈ 

I found yoga in 2020 when things felt so uncertain and chaotic with the COVID pandemic. Working as a full time health care provider at the peak of the pandemic was extremely stressful and unsettling especially when so many things were out of our control and unknown. Fortunately I discovered yoga and used the time during quarantines to learn my first headstand — and that was all it took to begin the start of my yoga journey and has now become a lifestyle of mine. Yoga has brought me a sense of calmness, peace, and control. 

I achieved my yoga teacher training YTT-200 in February 2025. Though my journey started with a focus on learning different poses, I soon realized that yoga was so much more than that — each pose, transition, flow required so much focus, connection of our minds and bodies, and stamina. The practice has helped me through various challenges and hurdles in my life when things were falling apart and everything seemed to be out of my control. 

I hope to share this space with you through guided flows so you can experience what yoga can do for us everyday off and on our mats — by just showing up when so much seems to be out of our control. I can’t wait to meet you and flow together!

I believe yoga is one of the most effective tools we have to cultivate mental, physical, and spiritual well-being in the midst of everyday life. While the practice begins on the mat, its effects naturally extend outward, shaping the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us.  The transformative nature of yoga—even the sense of peace it can inspire by the simple presence of those who practice it—is what first drew me to this path and continues to inspire my teaching.

In June of 2026, I completed my 200HR YTT with Path of Yoga School in Thailand. This experience was originally intended to help me deepen my practice, as teaching is the best way to learn, but through the training I was compelled to bestow this exchange of knowledge past myself. Outside of yoga, I enjoy working as a barista, climbing/hiking/surfing, working towards my Bachelor’s in Psychology, and spending time with my friends, family, and kitty! 

My practices are a traditional Hatha style that incorporates longer holds of poses with intentional breathing. As a teacher, I strive to create a space that honors both the physical and philosophical traditions of yoga. My classes emphasize building strength and length simultaneously, encouraging students to find stability while creating space for mindful movement and breath. Drawing from traditional yogic philosophy, functional anatomy, and compassionate instruction, I seek to create an environment where students of all experience levels feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to deepen their connection with themselves. My hope is that each practice leaves students feeling more grounded, resilient, and connected—not only within the studio, but throughout their daily lives.
