Chase has a deep connection to music and incorporates different styles and genres to further enhance the mood of her class.
Chelsey Adams
Yoga found me a few years after the demands and unknowns of mothering 4 children caused me to shut down and disconnect from my feelings, my children and myself in general. As a recovering control freak who began to realize I couldn't control anything, I felt as though I was moving through my life constantly terrified. On a whim, I started going to yoga classes and instantly knew that I had found what I didn't know I was looking for. Yoga helped me rediscover the joy, love and connection that is always available to me. My 200 hr teacher training was completed under the guidance of Trevor Hawkins and Lindsay Russo and focused on the therapeutic benefits of the breath and the idea that the yoga practice can be adapted to meet the yoga practitioner exactly where they are. My 300 hr advanced teacher training was completed in San Francisco with Jason Crandell who is known worldwide for his comprehensive knowledge of alignment, anatomy and sequencing. I truly see yoga as pathway to greater peace and contentment. For me, it has provided a place to leave my mindgames at the door, to be still and to remember who I am. Meeting myself on my mat reminds me to always see the blessings in trials, my innate divinity, and the freedom that comes from letting go.
Courtney Bustillos
Courtney Bustillos has been teaching group fitness in Carlsbad for several years. Courtney started dancing at the early age of two and has been keeping her body "flowing" and moving ever sense.

She attended San Diego State University, where she was a cheerleader and dancer and graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism.

She blends her passion for movement, healing, freedom and love to create a sacred space where students can overcome obstacles and live a fuller, more meaningful, vibrant life.
Dri Hoffman
I started to practice yoga and meditation when I was 16 years old. It was such a great experience that I haven't stop studying and practicing since… I have completed three teacher trainings. The first was Iyengar Yoga with Kalidas Nuyken in Brazil and Usha Devi in India, who was my inspiration as a Iyengar Yoga teacher. The second Teacher Training was Yoga therapy with Josef Lepaje in Garopaba, Brazil. After this course I integrated my degree in psychology with Yoga, and for 10 years I offered my services at my own Yoga Studio in Sao Paulo. I dedicated most of my work there to help people with panic attacks, stress, depression and anxiety. When I moved to the US, I completed the third Teacher Trainning in Encinitas with Ana Costa, where I had the opportunity to learn to teach in a second language. I love to teach at Mantra, it is here that I have the opportunity to share everything that I learned. I'm waiting for you in my class!!

Iejnno Ortiz
Iejnno (Gino) approaches yoga to nourish the body, mind, and spirit with love and opportunity, on and off the mat. He has always been active and fascinated with many sports such as, Boxing, and Tae Kwon Do (receiving his first-degree black belt at the age of ten). The desire to find discipline and freedom within the body, Iejnno later found both through yoga. Introduced to yoga around the age of twelve, he then committed to his practice back in 2010 starting with Bikram Yoga, then discovered his true connection with Vinyasa Yoga in winter of 2011. The warmth of the community and support from the teachers guided him through a new journey, growing spiritually and finding his authentic self. His passion is to instruct vinyasa flow and inspire others as he was inspired. Discovering everyday his true authentic nature, Iejnno aims for anyone who practices alongside him to do the same and connect deeper within our own selves. In his dynamic and challenging classes, one can expect precise alignment instruction, uplifting humor and discipline to go exceed one's limits.
Jenna Fernandez
Jenna found yoga while training for a half marathon as a way to maintain flexibility and prevent injuries. She quickly fell in love with the way yoga made her feel not just physically but also mentally. She immediately knew yoga was something she needed in her life. Having suffered from anxiety, she felt she had finally found something that could help her calm her mind and allow her to feel comfortable in her own skin. Her passion for yoga led her to want to dive deeper and share this practice with others. She decided to become a certified yoga instructor so that she could continue to learn the many benefits of yoga and be able to share them with others. Jenna believes yoga is truly for everyone and that every one can benefit from adding it to their lives. Her aim in her classes is to help her students calm their minds, feel good in their bodies, and find their bliss both on and off the mat.
Jenny Whisler

After a hip fracture she was limited to certain physical activities. Yoga was able to rebuild her body's strength and harness the healing from within.

She says, "through yoga, I have ignited my true calling which is to inspire others to rise up and be the best version of themselves."

After a 14 year romance with gymnastics, Jessica found yoga. At first practicing solely as a means to work the body, she continued the physical practice for 12 years before discovering the power of moving beyond the body and into the mind and soul.

Her heart now reinforces that sharing her experience and empowering the world to Love, to Shine, and to Glow is her Truth.
Josh Blatter
Josh Blatter is a Yoga and Meditation instructor in Encinitas, CA. Josh is best known for his skillful use of language, understanding of the human body, subtle anatomy, and the ancient tradition to guide his students into the heart of Yoga. Josh believes that the real art of the practice is strongly rooted in our ability to bring the body and mind into balance. Josh began his studies of the Yoga tradition in 2006 shortly after arriving in San Diego from Boulder, CO. Initially he saw Yoga as a remedy for his many years of injuries from skateboarding, snowboarding and BMX, but his Yoga practice revealed something far greater. For the first time Josh found a language and set of teachings that mirrored the ways in which he was examining the world. This left him with a desire for knowledge and thirst for experience. Not long after, Josh obtained his first Yoga Teacher Certification and began instructing as a full time career. In 2012, Josh stumbled upon a lineage that would shape the course of his practice and teachings forever. It inaugurated an ongoing and in depth studies with Chase Bossart, a student of T.K.V. Desikachar. This immersion into the healing and therapeutic aspects of Yoga would eventually lead to his first extended stay in India and studies at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai. His trip to India stoked the fire within that continues to keep the passion alive. Since then, Josh has had the opportunity to train with and learn with some of the most influential teachers. He has learned from masters of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. He has studied with experts of the subtle body, innovators of the posture practice and scholars in the ancient tradition, including Classical Yoga philosophy, Vedic chant and Sanskrit.
Kecia Lee
Kecia is a San Diego based yoga teacher, health nut, and beach bum. In the yoga studio, her infectious smile, warmth, and passion allow her to connect deeply with and inspire her students. After a highly accomplished career as a competitive soccer player, Kecia hung up her boots at the University of Minnesota and fulfilled her dream of moving to the warm sunny skies and salty sea of California. No longer motivated by maniacal fitness regimens, Kecia sought out a new source of vigor. In 2003, she found yoga and immediately began a dedicated practice. She was drawn to the state of peace that yoga offered through rhythmic movement, connection to breath, and disciplined focus. It was as if the whole world fell away during that sacred hour of practice; a sensation that she had never experienced before. Kecia's love for practicing yoga intuitively evolved into sharing yoga. Her classes are dynamic and at the same time thoughtful. She artfully weaves intention in and out of playful sequencing, creating a visceral and soulful experience for her students. Her devotion to guiding the body into healthy alignment and her ability to communicate with precision gives her students freedom to open up to their full potential. Kecia's classes aim to open the heart, expand consciousness, and find healing.
Ladawn Johnson
From the very first moment I walked into Mantra Yoga & Juice Bar I knew my life had changed forever. I could feel that my calling was within this studio and decided to go through the teacher training program. Before teacher training, I was truly lost. Yoga showed me a light and community that was beaming and limitless. My path became so clear! I now am dedicated to my practice with the intention of teaching others ways of attaining a healthy mind, body and lifestyle. My background of ballet dance shapes my style of teaching to be fluid, mindful and attentive. I am excited to continue this journey and I invite you to come along!
Marla Ben-dor

When she is off her mat you can find her in the kitchen preparing delicious, healthful meals as a personal chef. Marla feels so blessed to share her passion for holistic nutrition & fitness. Aloha!
Mike Sherbakov
An avid world traveler and proud Marine Corps Veteran, Mike Sherbakov first began yoga as a means to challenge and heal his body from years of sports and close quarters combat instruction. His practice quickly turned inward as Mike noticed he was drawn to his mat more and more. "Something about it made me come back.

Scotty Guynn
Scotty started practicing yoga more days than not in 2014. Yoga helped him restore his health, his faith and his consciousness by building a relationship with his breath. He met his mentor Kecia Lee while vacationing with his grandma in sunny San Diego! He knew he wanted her to help further his practice. After fighting with bad habits, he decided to pack up his car and head to Carlsbad, California. He finished Mantra Teacher Training in the fall of 2015. His classes are structured sequences with easy flowing music and fun heart-felt themes.

Shelie's mission is to improve your overall fitness and inspire discipline to empower you to be your best self both on and off the mat.
Sonja Revilla
I am a dedicated yogi, teacher, surfer, and traveler committed to healing the body, mind, and spirit through exercise. I teach to cultivate the same mental and physical power in everyone that yoga inspires in me. Yoga became a consistent part of my life ten years ago, but my natural inclination for teaching began at the ripe age of twelve, when my best friend and I started our own summertime dance and gymnastics camp. Since then, I have taught Spanish in high school, surfing to all ages, and yoga. My goal is for all my students to find strength, confidence and clarity by way of movement meditation. I believe that yoga can be a major stepping stone towards the discipline and motivation needed to pursue all of life's big goals. The feeling of community at Mantra is a core value that we share, and it is my intention to cultivate a sense of community inside and outside of the yoga studio.
Tammy Fodrey

As an experienced yoga practitioner and teacher, Tammy's classes are a mixture of rhythmic Vinyasa flow and alignment-based education of traditional yoga postures. Her classes are characterized as challenging yet accessible, as she inspires her students to stimulate self-awareness, vitality and connection. Tammy is a dedicated mother, yogi and wellness ambassador whose ultimate goal is to find to grace and ease in a busy, fast-paced world. She is the founder of Malas In Bloom intentional jewelry and she facilitates workshops and teaches private sessions in her community.
Trevor Hawkins
Trevor came to understand the benefits and beauty of yoga while living abroad in Europe. As a travel guide and photographer, he spent the majority of his time in Spain guiding small group hikes into Pyrenees valleys, villages and castles, kayaking the cliffs, caves and coves of the Costa Brava and diving full force into the culture and cityscapes throughout Western Europe and North Africa. Through a natural progression of thought and being, he began to recognize the beauty and universal nature of people, space and motion. He began to inquire deeper into the connections of movement and breath through practicing Yin and Ashtanga yoga. After seven years, he decided to return to his roots in Encinitas, California and deepen his study. Through serendipitous connections and relationships with the amazing Yoga community in North County San Diego, Trevor began to expand his understanding of the philosophical, spiritual and physical teachings of Yoga. He has immersed himself in hundreds of hours of intense study and practice with emphasis in the Viniyoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Anusara, Kripalu Vinyasa and Yin yoga traditions. His ongoing study of Yoga as Therapy through Gray Kraftsow and the American Viniyoga Institute is bringing him to deeper levels of understanding and awareness regarding Pranayama, Mantra, Breath Centric Asana and their impacts on the physical, mental, emotional and the spiritual body. Trevor teaches locally and internationally and continues to bring his belief that a healthy body and a peaceful mind are the central reasons to seek and maintain a vibrant yoga practice. He brings great enthusiasm and passion to his teaching, guiding and sharing and blends his deep passion for life, culture, movement, art, music, food and nature seamlessly to create a safe, sacred space where the student can deepen profoundly into their body, mind, and heart.
Victor Acevedo
I was born and raised in San Diego, CA. I found yoga in 2000 and practiced daily for about a year. Life and work happened, and I left the practice for several years. Finally coming back to yoga in 2008, when I found myself unsatisfied with life and desperately needing a paradigm shift. After practicing regularly, I enrolled into my first 200 hr. Training for Vinyasa Flow in 2009. Shortly thereafter, I enrolled into the Hot Yoga training in 2011 and studied under Melissa Smith. Through her tutelage and the guidance of many other great instructors, I finally arrived at a point of no return.I began teaching in 2011. I am also a California licensed and certified EMT.

Here is what some of our previous graduates had to say about Mantra Teacher Training:
Jenn Brennecke, Fall 2014
I am forever grateful for the Mantra Yoga & Juice Bar Teacher Training experience. I was able to focus on building strength and balance within myself, as well as develop relationships with my fellow trainees and the Mantra community which has become part of my family. My "day" job provides a living, and yoga provides a life – and a wonderful one at that. I would highly recommend Mantra yoga teacher training to anyone who wants to transform their life, find strength within their self, and share the wonderful power of yoga with others. It is an experience that has transformed my life in more ways than I could have imagined. My journey of growth through yoga has just begun, and teacher training was the first step.
Mary Ellen Jones, Fall 2014
Going through Mantra Teacher Training is definitely one of the best things I have done for myself. Through the training I learned how to teach a great yoga class, but that was definitely not my only take away. It offered a space to completely be me, no hiding, no faking, just the utmost authentic Mary Ellen. It helped me to shine light onto some of the darker places of my life and bringing new life and healing to those areas. Since the training I have had some pretty awesome experiences with healing in my body, mind, and spirit through my yoga practice. I would encourage anyone to go through a teacher training. Set no expectations and enjoy the ride!
Alex McGinness, Spring 2015
I was a part of Mantra's teacher training program in the spring of 2015. Our training was rightfully themed The Heroes Journey. For me, the heroes journey fully embodies the immense transformation I experienced during TT. I opened up. I blossomed. I became the truest version of myself, a person I had not been familiar with prior to this journey. Yes, I learned how to teach yoga in this program. But for me, it was so much more than that. It was about the wisdom I found, the friendships I gained and the immense amount of love I experienced from each and every person that was a part of my journey with me. I wouldn't trade my teacher training experience for the world. It is one of my dearest memories, a magical time in my life. If you're thinking of joining teacher training at Mantra, do it. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
Chuck Vadun, Summer 2017
Mantra's 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Program promised to be a transformational experience, and it has more than delivered for me. Melissa Smith and her team of instructors have covered everything from the practical to the near-mystical: from anatomy, breakdowns of poses, and teaching methodology to yoga philosophy, Sanskrit, the Chakras and much more. I've already seen my life change for the better, on and off my yoga mat … gotten to know some wonderful kindred spirits … and I still have a few weeks more of YTT to go! So if you're planning to become a yoga teacher … or wanting to go deeper into your own practice … or just go on a fascinating journey of learning and self-discovery, I highly recommend Mantra's Teacher Training to you.
