Daphne, together with her sister Sarah, founder Yard Yoga in 2014. Their vision was to create a beautiful space where everyone was welcome and to provide an environment that was compatible with their busy family lives.

Daphne first started her yoga journey in London more than 15 years ago where she discovered hot yoga. Never believing she would be able to do any form of exercise in the heat she soon discovered all the benefits and was fully committed.

Daphne is a fully qualified osteopath and specialised in paediatric osteopathy. Having worked for 10 years in Surrey she now has a little treatment room at the studio where she treats many patients from all walks of life.

Even though she has never trained as a yoga teacher her self, she teaches the Anatomy and Physiology on the Yard Yoga 200hr teacher training. Her knowledge of the human body means that she can support students who are working with injuries.

“The studio is such a special place to me, it is where I would want to spend all my time. I love our community and am so proud of all our teachers for creating such incredible classes!’’
