Daphne came to yoga through her two passions – music and dance. In dance, she experienced movement as an expression of the soul. In yoga, she discovered an even deeper connection. Her diverse studies have enriched her yoga practice and shaped her own unique style of teaching which deeply honors the wisdom of the body.

Registered through Yoga Alliance, Daphne has been teaching since 2001 and has studied Iyengar, Anusara, Ashtanga and Vinyasa traditions. She holds a 1,000-hour certification from the Southern Institute of Yoga Instructors and a Vinyasa Flow certification from Shiva Rea, whom she is honored to assist in workshops around the country. Daphne's teaching has also been influenced by her work with many other senior teachers including Dharma Mittra, Ramanand Patel, Rodney Yee, Patricia Walden and David Swenson.

Daphne’s fluid sequences and intuitive approach to unlocking the layers of the body help students open to the natural grace and depth of their practice. She encourages students to come to yoga with an open heart and guides them toward a joyful practice that honors the potential within us all.

In 2004, Daphne co-founded Sanctuary for Yoga, Body & Spirit in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband Tom. She teaches group classes and private sessions, and leads workshops throughout the United States.
