Facing a stressful life phase, Daphne turned to yoga to manage her own work-life imbalance. Spending more time on the mat led her into a 200 hour teacher training and she has been studying and sharing yoga ever since. Daphne guides people with a focus on self awareness, alignment, and healthy aging with yoga.
