Daphne fell in love with yoga when a close friend introduced her to Ali MacGraw & Erich Schiffman’s yoga tape, one home practice and she was hooked. While living in Los Angeles she dove into the yoga world for over 9 years (working with Yogaworks and then with Shiva Rea and Yogadventures). She is inspired by her friend and teacher, Shiva, with whom she has studied with & taken teacher trainings with over the years. She completed her foundational training at Sacred Movement in Venice in 2004. Initially specializing in kids yoga, she found joy & light working with little people and began branching out and teaching students of all ages. She also embraces the teachings of Erich Schiffman, Mark Whitwell and Ammachi in her daily practice. Daphne is currently touring sharing her soulful teachings around the globe with grace and joy for living life fully.
