Sesa O'Connor

Sesa was born and raised in a family that lives and breathes true yoga, so she grew up learning and practicing mantra meditation and yoga as a lifestyle. Having grown up living around yoga her whole life, she decided to pursue an AA degree in International Business. But as the busyness of life began to come to the forefront, her yogic upbringing became less of a focus... After graduating with honors, Sesa soon found herself unexpectedly pregnant…during this hiatus from the things that had primarily taken up her time and energy – college, full time work, travel and surfing – Sesa realized how important yoga was to her and her spiritual progression. Inspired to be instrumental in helping others experience the benefits of yoga, Sesa received her 200-RYT certification through Tamal Yoga School in 2009, and has been sharing her love of yoga ever since, primarily leading classes, workshops and serving as a master instructor for Tamal Yoga School teacher trainings in Orange County. Sesa likes to use her classes as a way to give people the physical challenge and mental de-stressing tool they're looking for. But more importantly, a gateway to open people up to what yoga is really about. Yoga isn't something you practice once, twice, or even seven times a week, that no matter how "advanced" your physical practice is or isn't…yoga is a lifestyle, that it's how you live your life off the mat that really matters. Her hope is that her passion and love for yoga will inspire others and that she can share the amazing life changing powers of yoga that have molded her into the – daughter, sister, mother, lover, and friend – she is today, with everyone.
