Trevor Hawkins

As a travel guide and photographer, he spent the majority of his time in Spain guiding small group hikes into Pyrenees valleys, villages and castles, kayaking the cliffs, caves and coves of the Costa Brava and diving full force into the culture and cityscapes throughout Western Europe and North Africa. Through a natural progression of thought and being, he began to recognize the beauty and universal nature of people, space and motion. He began to inquire deeper into the connections of movement and breath through practicing Yin and Ashtanga yoga. After seven years, he decided to return to his roots in Encinitas, California and deepen his study. Through serendipitous connections and relationships with the amazing Yoga community in North County San Diego, Trevor began to expand his understanding of the philosophical, spiritual and physical teachings of Yoga. He has immersed himself in hundreds of hours of intense study and practice with emphasis in the Viniyoga, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Anusara, Kripalu Vinyasa and Yin yoga traditions. Trevor believes that a healthy body and a peaceful mind are the central reasons to seek and maintain a vibrant yoga practice and, as a result, brings great enthusiasm and passion to his teaching, guiding and sharing. His deep love of life, culture, movement, art, music and nature blend together seamlessly to create a safe, sacred space where the student can deepen profoundly into their yoga and into their body, mind, and heart.
