About Us

The Story of Four Seasons

March 14, 2005 the doors opened to Four Seasons Yoga Studio thanks to Sean O’Shea! He wanted to touch as many people's lives as he could by teaching and sharing Yoga. Since his passing in December of 2006, Sean O'Shea's legacy continues through the work of the Sean O'Shea Foundation. Jenny Barrett and James Bouwer became the new owners in February 2008. Jenny and James are excited to carry on the dream envisioned by Sean and to continue teaching yoga, and grow this awesome community.

Jenny was introduced to yoga during college and she immediately connected to Yoga’s healing benefits. After ten years of practice and study with Tim Miller of the Ashtanga Yoga Center, she began teaching and volunteering yoga classes throughout San Diego.

James, the CEO and Jenny’s partner, is a long time La Jolla resident and graduate of the University of California, San Diego. James went onto get his PhD. in Physics. He is currently working at the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research as a Principal Instrumentation Developmental Engineer, where he develops technologies used by bio-medical researchers to explore and model the 3-dimensional microscopic ultastructure of the brain and the nervous system at the molecular scale. His many other passions include surfing, skateboarding, playing and recording music. He does take yoga classes with Jenny and Tim Miller when there are no waves! 

Our intention is building on a wonderful community that has been growing since Sean O’Shea planted the seed in 2005. Both on and off the mat, we invite all of you to join us.

Mission Statement: To create a welcoming and vibrant yoga community in San Diego by providing the highest quality yoga instructors and classes for everybody, while honoring Yoga’s core principles, and working to strengthen the mind, body and spirit of our students, teachers and staff. We are dedicated to providing a clean, relaxing, fun, and nurturing environment where yoga is accessible and practiced as a way of life.
