My Story
Hey I’m Darlene! I've been an avid gymnast my whole life. I had practiced yoga asana here and there but it wasnt until 2018 that I took a deep dive into the practice, utilizing it as an outlet, and a means to process some major life events. The way that moving through creative flows, practicing breathwork and feeling my own practice evolve unearthed a passion for yoga that I know will be lifelong.
Through getting my 200 hr Yoga Teacher Certification I was able to dive into the history, philosophy, and anatomy of yoga and became even more infatuated with all that yoga is to me, and what in turn I can offer to you.
The yoga community in San Diego has felt like a generous open invitation to me since I moved here in 2021. As I continue to learn and grow myself, I look forward to extending all that I know, and so much of what Yoga is, to each of you at Awarewolf!

Bangkok spices Thai in North Park, get the Jungle curry, it’s the BEST.
