about larkin yoga

Tom and Daphne Larkin founded LarkinYoga as a representation/brand for the creative vision of their life’s work. Yoga has become not only a daily practice on the mat, but also a way of life for them. Their rich life experiences have cultivated and informed their yoga practice and teaching. Recognizing that we are all products of our experiences, they offer a yoga practice that speaks to people from all walks of life – including business professionals, professional athletes, musicians, dancers, and artists as well as new and experienced yogis.

As a teaching team, Daphne and Tom offer a truly unique experience. Balancing both shiva and shakti energies, honoring the masculine and the feminine, they complement each other perfectly. They encourage students of all levels, from beginning to advanced, to discover their own practice in a way that is both challenging and inspiring. Tom's infectious spirit and steady strength is empowering and brings out the courageous heart in all students. Daphne's sequences and unique approach to unlocking the layers of the body helps students open to the natural grace and depth of their practice. They teach from the heart and honor the divine potential in everyone.

Since 2001, they have been devoted students of Shiva Rea, who has been the most profound source of inspiration for their teaching. They are honored to travel with Shiva and assist her in workshops and teacher trainings around the globe and to serve as mentors in her Samudra Global School of Living Yoga. They've been featured in Shape Magazine, Fit Yoga, Woman's World, and Prevention Magazine in addition to a number of Nashville publications. They reside in Nashville, TN and when not hosting workshops, retreats and teacher trainings around the country, they teach at their studio Sanctuary for Yoga, Body & Spirit.
