DAPHNE LYON

Daphne grew up taking yoga and meditation classes as a child at her parents' studios in New York, and the practice has been a lifelong companion ever since.

Trained in the Jivamukti tradition under Sharon Gannon and David Life, as well as her beloved teachers Elena Brower, Rima Rabbath, and Don and Amba Stapleton, Daphne has been teaching for over a decade weaving breath, movement, and stillness into classes that are both physically demanding and genuinely nourishing. Her teaching is rooted in the place where ancient wisdom and modern science meet, drawing on nervous system research, breathwork physiology, and the deep intelligence of the body.

She believes the mat is a training ground for the most important relationship we will ever have, the one with ourselves. When we do the inner work, it ripples outward into every life we touch.

When she's not teaching, Daphne leads workshops and retreats, guides breathwork and meditation, and is based in Lawrence, NJ.
