Tina Rathbone

Tina was born to a mother from a New Mexican ranching family and a father of Norwegian and Swedish immigrant heritage. A lifelong San Diegan, Tina’s love of travel, languages and diverse cultures dates from girlhood, when she spent summers in the pueblos, rivers and galleries of Taos, and the rest of the year immersed in the Southern California suburban/beach lifestyle. 

Tina embarked on a hatha yoga path in 1987, as a way to overcome the stresses of graduate school. But it was the discovery of Ashtanga yoga a few years ago that illuminated for her the transformative power of yoga: physically, mentally and spiritually. From that day, Tina dedicated her practice to the hope that she could bring the gift of yoga to others. 
 
Tina brings a sense of joy and fun to her classes, tempering her exuberance with a deep reverence for the mystery and power of the human body to heal and transform over time. 
 
Tina has completed 300 hours of teacher training with Tim Miller. She continues to study with Tim and several other excellent teachers in the San Diego area.
