Danya is devoted to creating a warm, calm environment where everyone can feel comfortable to move freely, breathe deeply and relax completely. Originally from Canada, her passion for yoga has taken her to India, Costa Rica, Thailand, Myanmar, Spain, Portugal, Hawaii, Morocco, Bali, Australia and the Middle East. She now lives in Troncones.
She is a 500RYT Yoga Alliance Certified teacher, with Hatha Yoga certification from the Santosha Yoga Institute in Australia, Restorative, Iyengar, and Pranayama training with the Matrika Yoga and Artes Meditativas School in Spain, as well as Zen Shiatsu and Meridian Yin Yoga certification from the Shiatsu and Yoga Academy of Europe. She travelled to the Goenka Vipassana Center in Myanmar to deepen her meditation practice and now guides various types of meditations including Yoga Nidra and Shinrin Yoku.
Her practice is based in the tradition of Hatha Yoga but she also has a deep knowledge of the therapeutic benefits of Restorative and Yin Yoga. Her classes include Qi Gong exercises to bring awareness to the relationship between Qi (energy) and breath, Pranayama work to calm the nervous system and focus the mind, and functional mobility exercises to build strength and remind us to be playful. She makes space for her students to creatively explore the somatic mind body connection through cultivating intentional movement and self-awareness.
Her aim is to encourage others to listen and respond to their bodies with intuition, safety and kindness. Her teaching is about investigation and experimentation to invoke a deeper embodied sense of self that nurtures the body and mind.
In addition to being a yogi, she surfs, climbs mountains and loves to spend time in wild places.
