Grateful for cOMmmunity at The Yoga Expo 🫶🏽

Overflowing with gratitude for these humans 🫶🏽

New Class ~ Iyengar Yoga

Mondays 10am zoom

Sign up

Grab a chair and set up near a wall for support. Join me every Monday morning at 10am for Iyengar Yoga- the yoga of what to do and how to do it. The yoga to age gracefully, affectionately called "I Younger" yoga. We will work safely to strengthen muscles and bones, lubricate joints and create space in our bodies ~ BONUS all while quieting the inner conversation (chatter) of the mind! Join me and start your week right.

Iyengar Yoga really is for everyone- I joke that there is always a plan "C"  to customize the pose! Can't kneel? you can do from a chair. Bum shoulder? there are modifications and strategies to help. No pose is one size fits all- we customize so we can stay and breathe and have an experience in the pose. Did you knoiw that BKS Iyengar invented props and developed how to use them for yoga? The man really was a genius and I am beyond grateful to share his work. 


This class is hosted by my teacher, Rosa Santana aka YogaRosa. While the studio closed its physical space, there are still classes daily online. She also has a video library, and hosts events with top teachers. So if you are wanting to learn more about Iyengar Yoga, please check out www.YogaRosa.com


Live Classes

Saturdays join me & team YogaRosa at Yoga 1 in Hollywood, FL

Wednesdays 305 Yoga at 10:30am

I have so much love for 305 Yoga and Outreach. The founder, Terri Cooper Space hired me to work at the Standard Spa back in 2007 and her faith in me faith in me meant so much. I taught at Shores Yoga, and then in the Coppertone building. I grew so much after experiencing her trauma informed yoga training. I am honored to be back at 305 Yoga and in the new Shala. If you haven't been to the magical new Shala, you must come check it out. Click the image to visit their schedule.

The Standard Spa, Miami Beach Tuesdays & Thursdays 9am

The Standard Spa is one of my favorite places on the planet. While there may be a nightlife, I enjoy the mornings and it is a serene, welcoming, nourishing place to be. Anyone can drop in for a yoga class. If you want to use the spa you can book a treatment and have access to the indoor spa and outdoor bayside pool. *The hack is to book a manicure which runs about $60 with tip and you have all-day access! Of course if you are splurging on yourself, I highly recommend the massage- every year I ask for the same birthday present. A massage at The Standard. It really is one of life's best indulgences

Join Rosa Santana, level 3 CIYT and yoga therapist to learn about the amazing

benefits of using props appropriately- it's honestly like having a super power.

Yoga teachers- no matter what style you study, this workshop is not to be missed!


Stay tuned...

I know many of many of you reading this are my longtime students that are missing our gathering Tuesdays & Thursdays. I miss you all dearly. I will be announcing my new fall schedule after my much needed summer break. My sister told me the other day her word for the year is nourish. I just love that. Isn't she so wise? We should all do what we need to nourish and care for ourselves. I am working to find a suitable space to start this fall. In the meantime, did you see my blog about the value of developing a home practice?


Lots of love!

Everything in life changes, we are in a constant state of flux. You've heard the joke? Don't worry, nothing is under control!? Kidding aside, when we resist the inevitable changes in life, we suffer. A consistent yoga practice helps us to see the impermanent nature of the world and practice our non attachment skills. This means we learn how to go with the flow and ride the wave of life. Lots of changes for many of us so far this year. I hope you will come and find me at the Yoga Expo (see below) or in one of my classes around town. But most importantly, I hope you will keep practicing yoga (see my last blog for tips on practicing at home ). Yoga can take many forms, not just postures. Anything you do to center yourself and quiet the turnings of the mind is yoga. Any time you spend connecting with yourself through breathing, meditation, contemplation of sacred texts, or any task done mindfully, you are practicing yoga. This is how we center ourselves, regulate our nervous systems, and keep returning to our hearts. This is how we live our best life, despite how lifey it might get! “Yoga allows you to find inner piece that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life.” BKS Iyengar Sutra 1:33 Yoga Sutras of Patanjali A clear and tranquil mind results from: friendliness towards the happy compassion for those who suffer joy towards the virtuous impartiality tow ards wrong doers This has always been my favorite sutra because it is so practical (enough philosophy, tell me what to DO!). Here, Patanjali is giving us tools to deal with other people and stay centered. Couldn't we all use this good advice? Instead of comparing yourself to someone thinner, younger, richer, etc. - be happy for their success. Comparison is the thief of joy. Be happy for them and you maintain your calm, tranquil mind. Maybe even let their success inspire you? Instead of getting all upset and angry about those people, practice indifference. It's not that you don't care, it's that you are choosing peace in your own mind over rehashing the same negative story about those people and all their wrong doings. Choose peace. This is how we keep our minds quiet and in a satvic, luminous state. Namaste, Di
