The teachers / Venice & Santa Cruz, full daylight
Diego Marin

Diego was a gymnast before he found yoga, and the transition made complete sense to him. Both are about strength, precision, and an honest relationship with what your body can do today versus what it could do last year.
His Rocket classes are the most physically demanding on the schedule. Arm balances are offered in every class. Gravity is negotiated, not avoided. But Diego’s teaching is never about performance; it is about understanding the mechanics well enough to make progress you can trust.
“A handstand is a conversation, not a stunt,” he says. He will convince you this is true.
He also teaches strength-focused Vinyasa at Venice and Santa Cruz, which sit between a standard flow class and full Rocket in intensity. Good if you want the strength work without the inversions just yet.
