Jeanie Carlstead
Jeanie Carlstead, E-RYT-500, Founder and Director of La Jolla Yoga Center. She has learned from many great yogis, with her 22 years working with Erich Schiffman and Gerhard Gessner, and her recent nine years working with John Friend and Desiree Rumbaugh in the Anusara tradition being the most significant. Her classes combine influences of yoga traditions such as Anusara, Vinyasa, Yoga Therapeutics, Ashtanga, Restorative, and Meditation and are informed by her 30 year studies of wisdom traditions. In addition to her study of mind-body disciplines, she holds degrees from UCSD in history and psychology (Magna Cum Laude). She specializes in understanding the process of transformation, heightened levels of consciousness, the experience of being fully alive, and the process of creating freedom. She is presently writing a book entitled, “The Everyday Wisdom of Yoga.” Jeanie co-created and co-taught the Prana Yoga Vinyasa Teacher’s Training since its inception. She continues to teach and influence many teachers with her grace-filled presence, skillful guidance, and depth of wisdom.
