Atsuro Chiba

Born and raised in Japan, Atsuro discovered Yoga in his mid twenties after moving to San Diego. He practiced a variety of different Yoga styles until he found Ashtanga, which touched him deeply. His daily practice of Ashtanga continues to change his life in a positive way and he has come to view it as a wonderful science of the body, mind, and spirit. He finds great pleasure practicing and teaching Yoga to his students who, in turn, apply his classes and evolve their own practice. Atsuro feels that as his students' practice develops, their lives improve, which is the part of teaching that brings him the most joy.

He has completed the 2nd series of Ashtanga yoga teacher training with Tim Miller in 2008.
