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
“Bend with the Wind” themed yin yoga class, listening from our body’s wisdom to adapt to any circumstances and flow with changes as opposed to breaking or snapping. This class gently stretches the deeper muscles, the joints and fascia present in all parts of the body. Fascia is the connective tissue that separates our muscles and other organs in our body, all the while attaching, enclosing, and stabilising them together during all movements. It wraps, cushions, and supports everything inside our body; it connects our organs to our ribs, muscles, and bones to each other. Therefore it is necessary to keep our Fascia healthy for our body to function well.
Yin yoga compliments a more dynamic yoga practice as we flow from the Yang energy of the day into the Yin energy of the evening; it's softening the tissues, letting go of parts of the body, acknowledging your edge or knowing to back off when necessary, staying still in a pose and allowing the breath and sensations to tame the mind. Time, as duration in holding each posture, is an important aspect of the practice, allowing your body release to gravity and be carried through by the slowing breath and helps quiet the mind. Yin Yoga is a deeply nourishing practice that aims to calm the nervous system.
There will be hands-on-assists particularly on this class and props available all throughout the session.
