TESTIMONIAL
Over the past 18 months I have participated in Daphne's Yin Yoga Classes. For me personally, Yin Yoga has given me a real sense of deep understanding and healing in my own physical, emotional & spiritual bodies. The desire to learn more about this wonderful practice & specialist type of Yoga, was very exciting to me. Having been a Pilates Instructor for 20 years, the joy of bringing a new offering to my clients, and increasing my own knowledge was very exciting. I completed Daphne's 50hr Teacher Training in March 2021, at Golden Yogi Studio in Takapuna. A beautiful space to share with a loving group of diverse people, that quickly became closely connected as we journeyed together for the following days. Each morning we began with a 15 min meditation in silence and stillness. This set the mood for a very grounded learning space. Daphne sets a fun, loving & open space over the 5 training days. Our questions and input were always invited freely. The 2x daily practices allowed us all to integrate our learning and embody the beautiful Yin poses in our bodies. Her sharing of experience & knowledge is enlightening and refreshing. The highlight for me, was learning about skeletal variations and how that can reflect entirely what the body can and cannot do. This opened my eyes to viewing the physical body in such a different light. Knowledge is power!! I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to deepen their own practice or use it to teach others.
