Teachers

Daria's journey to Ashtanga began through her background as a professional ballroom dancer. The discipline, dedication, and body awareness from her dance career naturally translated into a deep yoga practice when she discovered Ashtanga in 2019.

She completed her 200-hour certification at Miami Life Center in 2020, followed by advanced 300-hour training with renowned teachers including Kino MacGregor, Tim Feldmann, and other respected Ashtanga practitioners.

Daria's teaching approach combines traditional Ashtanga methodology with an understanding of modern anatomy and movement patterns. She emphasizes the importance of breath, bandhas, and drishti while making the practice accessible to students of all levels.

Her continuous study includes regular practice with senior teachers, workshops worldwide, and deep exploration of yoga philosophy, pranayama, and the subtle aspects of the practice.

Daria is a dedicated student of renowned Ashtanga teachers including David Swenson, Eddie Stern, Tay Landrum, Kino MacGregor, Joseph Armstrong, Przemek Nadolny, Helena Melkjorsen, Ross Stambaugh, Greg Nardi, and Ajay Tokas. She also studies chanting and philosophy with Dr. M.A. Jayashree, continually deepening her understanding through their guidance and teachings.
