I just moved to the area and I was looking for a studio close to my house. I found TYC and they happen to have a class starting in 20 minutes so I signed up and went. Christi and Garnet were so friendly and inviting. Garnet's class is just what I was looking for today. I purchased a 5 class pass and I think this is my new Yoga home.
Desiree Rumbaugh is an internationally recognized yoga teacher with unquenchable enthusiasm for life, love and healing. She blends playful humor with an authentic inquiry into the nature of being to bring the ancient teachings of wisdom into the asana practice and then into modern life.
Her passion for teaching both the art and the science of yoga is fueled in part by her own experience recovering from deep grief as a bereaved parent.

For Desiree, yoga has been a life-saver emotionally as well as physically. With longtime studies in Iyengar and Anusara yoga, she brings 30 years of experience, experimentation and creativity to her ever-evolving, outside-of-the-box style of teaching. She incorporates real life stories and “kitchen table” wisdom into her workshops to remind herself and her students that the key to their happiness and freedom from suffering lies only within the boundaries of their own mind.
Desiree travels the world full time sharing her compassion and
her joy with others interested in the transformational power of
yoga.
She has produced a DVD series entitled “Yoga to the Rescue” and is
a regular contributor to Yoga Journal, having also appeared on its
cover. Desiree supports the Art of Yoga Project serving teenage
girls in the juvenile justice system.
She and her husband Andrew Rivin are both certified Anusara teachers currently living in southern California.
