TEACHERS
To understand the profound effects of yoga and an asana practice it must be experienced directly through regular practice and study over a long time. We as practitioners begin to see the rich and vast expanse of yoga, beneath the surface to only begin to explore the layers. Yoga is passed down from teacher to student. All our teachers (minimum 200YTT) have a rich history of practice and through this experience are honoured and grateful to share their tradition.
Dan's interest in healing through movement began in 1998 with a back injury. Even after years of learning in group classes, the thought of beginning an "independent Ashtanga practice" was anxiety producing. But the question: 'How do we awaken our inner healer?' sparkled just below the surface. In 2013 she arrived at the Sattva Yoga Shala, Montreal. After her first Mysore practice, Practice became a foundation for transformations that continues to inform her posture towards life.
