Daphne @Syzygy
Daphne embarked on her Ashtanga yoga journey in Asia in 2006 under the guidance of Alexander Medin in Hong Kong & Bella Lipat in the Philippines. She initially trained to teach the Sivananda traditions whilst opening up a first-of-it’s-kind yoga studio in her hometown with her business partner. Daphne became sufficiently inspired by the positive effects of her practice as a yoga instructor and her own personal yoga inquisition to undertake her first formal yoga training in India in 2009. She then expanded her ancient practice modality in Thailand, conducting a Traditional Thai Massage Therapy course in Women’s Healthcare before her big move to the UK in 2010. On her move to London, Daphne retained her yogic journey in the traditional yoga lineage, attending asana classes, pranayama and kirtans at Satyananda Yoga Center and Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center whilst continuing with her on-going Ashtanga practice and study, taking specialist Teacher Training courses and workshops under the Ashtanga vinyasa method.
Daphne extends gratitude to all her teachers past and present, and continues to study in her favoured areas of interest to add depth to her knowledge for her own internal nourishment and to share it with other practitioners.
Description
A traditional Sanskrit counted Led Primary Class whereby, the teacher calls out the names of the poses, along with the counts, and the students move together, in sync with the counts.
Led class reinforces the proper vinyasa system you learn in the Mysore class – when to inhale and when to exhale as you enter in and out of each asana. Following the teacher’s pace and count in led class instills discipline and helps build both mental and physical strength of students.
Ashtanga yoga is a form of practice that cultivates and harnesses the healing power of synchronizing breath with movement. This led class is a great way for beginners to establish a practice. No previous knowledge of the Ashtanga Yoga system is required to start the practice. Class size is limited to allow for more individual attention.
