The Path of Practice

Our teaching comes directly from our practice - from years of dedicated study and the lineage of many teachers.  We provide you with a solid foundation in the practice of yoga.  We honor classical alignment, creative expression, and the freedom that comes from stability and clear understanding.  What you offer as a teacher comes directly from your practice, so we provide you with the tools you need to get started on this path and evolve into an inspired teacher.

  • Get on your mat - learn classical alignment and how to teach is within the flow of a vinyasa practice. 

  • Change your perspective

  • Be a student first

"With her masterful vinyasa sequencing and her authentic voice of wisdom, love, and grace. Daphne led one of the most memorable yoga classes I ever attended, in 2017. Instantly, I knew that I wanted Daphne to be the one to lead me further in my journey as a yoga teacher. Her training will unfold intelligent and intuitive sequencing, as well as illuminate the path to finding your narrative and voice as a teacher. Daphne has been one of the most profound influences in my yoga teaching journey."
