Tisarana - San Diego

Yoga for your Mind + Body + Heart

Tisarana Yoga – San Diego offers a welcoming and supportive space to experience yoga as a practice of movement, mindfulness, and connection. Tisarana Yoga complements Buddhist practice by offering another way to cultivate mindfulness, awareness, and a sense of balance in everyday life. Through movement, breath, and quiet reflection, the practice provides an opportunity to care for the body and mind while connecting with others in the Sangha.

Classes are designed to be accessible to a range of ages, abilities, religions and levels of yoga experience. Whether you are new to yoga or have practiced for years, you are invited to move at your own pace, reconnect with your breath and body, and enjoy practicing together in the community.

No previous yoga experience is necessary. There is no fee, although donations to the Buddhist Temple of San Diego or any charitable organization are appreciated.

About Tisarana Yoga

Tisarana Yoga seeks to cultivate relaxation and well-being in body, mind, and heart through practices designed to be safe and accessible for all ages and abilities.

Tisarana Yoga was established by the Buddhist Churches of America through the Bishop’s Expansion Fund. Instructors complete an intensive six-month teacher training program and final examinations, with certification through Bob Matsueda’s Yoga School, a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School, and India’s Ministry of AYUSH Yoga Certification Board.

While rooted in the traditional practice of Hatha Yoga, the program is presented as a health and wellness activity that complements Buddhist practice. Its emphasis is on improving physical well-being, reducing stress, cultivating gratitude, and supporting the overall health of participants while reflecting the values of compassion, kindness, and respect that are central to our temple community.

Tisarana Yoga is designed to be accessible and adaptable for people of all ages, abilities, and experience levels. With an emphasis on relaxation, each session incorporates breathing techniques, gentle and subtle body movements, asanas (yoga poses), and focused meditation.

All levels, abilities, religions, and ages are welcome. There is no fee for participating in a Tisarana Yoga class. Donations are gladly accepted.
