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
Students practice a sequence of postures at their own pace, while the teacher offers one-on-one insight and assistance to each student. Practicing in this way is called Mysore-style and any style of yoga can be adopted. Suitable for beginners. This unique method of yoga practice allows for students of varying physical abilities to share space, creating a diverse community. The instructor can also lead some Surya warm-up sequence to begin with and some sequencing later on in the practice to get used to the Sanskrit counting. It is designed for students who want to build a regular personal practice and seeks hands-on adjustment or guidance from a qualified yoga instructor, suitable as well for any levels of practitioners who are attempting some advance poses who prefers personal support or assistance of an experienced teacher during the practice.
