"The journey of yoga is it is ever evolving with infinite opportunities for learning and connection. Yoga has taught me about myself and humanity and I am honored to share what I have learned along the way. Join me for supportive alignment, an exploration of the subtle body, and modifications for all."
Daisey
"My path with yoga started four years ago, which eventually led me to India, where I have spent the last two years immersing myself and guiding through yoga, meditation, sacred ceremony, kirtan, and dynamic pranayama. My passion is creating wholistic spaces of love and presence where we can return to the heart, to presentness, and to the connection with ourselves."
