Our Approach
At DessiYoga, our approach is to enable and empower You! We base our teachings on the principles:
​
I trust myself.
I listen to my inner guidance.
I am able.
I can ignite my confidence and motivation.
I honour my deep knowing.
I am open to perceiving from within.
I surrender to the process.
I adapt with fluidity to life as it presents itself while I stay true to my intentions for personal growth and evolution.
We strongly believe that your body's inner wisdom knows better than anyone else, and we design our classes to reflect this philosophy.
​
Our teaching approach revolves around honouring the inner wisdom within each individual. By tuning in and listening to your body, your inner wisdom responds. Our transformative principles — self-trust, ability, deep knowing, and surrender — guide your practice.
​
This Is Your Practice.
This Is Your Practice.
Explore. Listen Within. Expand your horizons.
But do so safely.
Not pushing yourself today is a commitment to yourself that you will be back on the mat tomorrow.
Your true transformative power lies in consistency and patience.
This Is Your Practice.
Tune within to discover what your body needs at this very moment.
Make it a nurturing experience for your body.
However it looks for you.
This Is Your Practice.
Allow the breath to be your guide.
The breath is a powerful tool. Once its potential is harnessed, it can take you beyond what you can even imagine.
This Is Your Practice.
We firmly believe that the benefits of a Yoga class should be applicable to the world we live in.
We believe that a Yoga class should provide health benefits for both mind and body in a safe and respectful manner. Our approach is gentle and emphasizes adapting Yoga practices to your unique needs and abilities.
​
We want our students to leave the class knowing how to maintain good posture, strengthen the muscles of the back and core at home or in the workplace, and apply stress-reducing techniques instantly as needed. We work with each student's individual needs and mindset to empower them to forge a path of consistent Yoga practice that evolves naturally with their needs.
​
In our classes, everyone is celebrated and honoured, regardless of their mobility and strength.
Whether you can perform a particular pose or not, your essence and presence in the class are valued above all else. Your safety and comfort are of utmost importance to us.
​
We focus on the benefits that each pose can bring you, rather than how it looks.
We encourage you to respect your abilities and limitations, cultivating patience in your practice. Even with perceived limited mobility, flexibility or strength, your small efforts yield significant long-term benefits. Yoga's physical practice, asana, isn't only about achieving specific shapes or forms. Even the smallest mindful movements, integrated with the breath, bestow remarkable health benefits.
​
Our goal is to empower you to be present in your body and tune inward.
