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 class aiming to cover the full Primary series. This led class reinforces the proper vinyasa system – when to inhale and when to exhale as you enter in and out of each asana.
Students will be guided through the poses based on their familiarity and proficiency in the practice with additional instruction and modifications provided so the practice is accessible to all. For both new and experienced students, led first series or primary class is an important compliment to a regular Mysore practice. It’s an opportunity to ensure that each vinyasa is being learned and practiced correctly.
Following the teacher’s count and pacing, is an opportunity to increase both our internal and external strength.
Ashtanga yoga is a form of practice that cultivates and harnesses the healing power of synchronizing breath with movement. Class size is limited to allow for more individual attention.
