About me
Yoga and the start of my journey
The human body communicates in its own unique way, and my greatest passion is learning to understand it. My journey with body-mind work began with movement. I started dancing at a very young age and have always cherished the magic of expressing life through the body.
At 20 years old, I discovered yoga and have never stopped practicing since. Yoga and meditation have been guiding my personal and professional paths, and they have been a true gift for me. With over 900 hours of yoga training, I have had the fortune of studying with experienced and devoted yoga teachers from all over the world. I taught for five years in Tel Aviv, where I held beginner and advanced workshops, assisted in teacher trainings, and mentored new teachers.
Reflexology and a new path
I studied reflexology for two years and, according to the Israeli standard, I am a senior reflexologist. As a teenager, reflexology miraculously balanced my hormonal system with just a few short treatments. I have always greatly appreciated the method, and it has proven powerful in my bodywork sessions.
Following an inner call for change, I moved to Berlin in 2020 and stayed there for four years. I continued teaching yoga in person and online, and added the Body Mind Centering® method to my toolbox. Gradually, my vinyasa-yoga classes became more focused on somatic work and deep, calm body awareness.
Osteopathy and the future
In 2021, I began studying Osteopathy at SICO - Swiss International College of Osteopathy. These studies have been an enriching and humbling experience. I have already completed three years and I'm certified to give craniosacral and structural osteopathy treatments. I’m thrilled about continuing my osteopathic education, while integrating what I’ve learned in my work.
I recently moved to Groningen, the Netherlands. I hope to meet you for holistic bodywork sessions and yoga classes here in Groningen. Using touch, movement, meditation, breath techniques, and body awareness, we can explore endless layers of ourselves. In my sessions, I aim to bring you back to balance. I work with the interrelationships within the body, the interaction between the body and mind, and our inherent connection to nature.
Sharing love
For me, every day is an opportunity to learn something new. Nourishing the self is part of what I aim for in my personal life as well as my work. I aspire to provide each person a safe space inside themselves - so they can maintain an ongoing personal practice, and constantly grow.
I am here to support, develop, and empower you, making your journey softer, healthier, and happier.
Namaste,
Dafna
