About

Denver Mysore has evolved over its many years, in an attempt to bring people together to grow, share and learn about Ashtanga yoga and how it may enrich life and our community.

Our focus is not on the quantity of students we can squeeze into a room. We esteem the quality – and more importantly – the self awareness of each individual student. Come explore the depths of yourself on your mat and awaken the guru inside.

Teacher: Christina Toyota

I've been teaching yoga since 2009. My asana practice and teaching draws inspiration from all my teachers, particularly Sharmila Desai in Goa, India. As Sharmila would say “the IN-volution” of my self continues. I complement my asana practice with yoga philosophy studies with Andrew Eppler and the teachings given by various scholars in Mysore, India.

I find great joy assisting students in their path to discover the best versions of themselves. The postures are just the start, the journey continues and I embrace the eternal student in us all as we continue to expand and grow. Trust the process, all will fall into place.

Assistant Teacher: John Roemer

Guided by a desire for consistency and routine, John discovered the Denver Mysore community in 2021. Since then, he has maintained a daily practice and began studying under Christina as an assistant teacher in 2024.

Outside of the studio, John is a visual artist and Boston terrier dad. Find John and Oscar (🐾) perusing CDs at Twist and Shout, taking photographs on Colfax or playing Magic the Gathering.
