TEAM BIO

DARCI NYAL

CO-DIRECTOR, TEACHER

FACEBOOK
EMAIL

Darci is an avid student and teacher who feels that yoga doesn’t stop once you get off your mat. It’s a lifestyle, a way of living, and a way of taking care of those around you. With a deep love of storytelling, Darci has an ability to weave laughter and wisdom into the most mundane of life’s moments. Raised in a flow based community, Darci has studied Hatha, Vinyasa (Flow), Biomechanics and the body, strength training and intelligent sequencing. These areas of expertise give this studio, and Darci the ability to teach classes that not just inspire, not just pay homage to the traditions of yoga, but also the direction that yoga is now embarking on globally. She is always inspired by the teachings of Brene Brown and Michael Stone – strong leaders who challenge us to engage in conversation in ways where we get to take care of ourselves and each other and in return we feel a sense of joy, belonging and support.

Hot yoga. Home yoga. Still yoga. ⁠ ⁠ Landing Hot yoga. Home yoga. Still yoga. ⁠ ⁠ Landing in a yoga practice without the hot room has a level of vulnerability to it. We know the practise room is a safe space of comfort where we can really show up for ourselves. ⁠ ⁠ At home, we have the phone ringing, kids running around, long to-do lists. It's easy to land in the story of "I don't have time for this." ⁠ ⁠ Creating time for your practice is even more essential during times when the stress is highest. Come to your mat, fill your cup so you're better able to support your family, friends and community.⁠ ⁠ Nobody ever said, "I regret that yoga class." ⁠ ⁠ Support your practice online through live classes or OnDemands classes for only $59/month or $15/week. ⁠ Link's in the Bio!⁠

As we drop into another week with our "new normal" As we drop into another week with our "new normal", routines, gratitude and our mental health become more important than ever. ⁠ ⁠ We've been loving this start of week checking, it keeps small priorities moving forward without putting too much on our plate and leaving time to feel the things we need to feel. ⁠ ⁠ If I get stuck I'll remember: One small step in the right direction is all you need to create momentum. ⁠ ⁠ What's on your list?

Hi yogis and friends, it’s Kamila here! As much Hi yogis and friends, it’s Kamila here! As much as I miss the physicality and close connection of actually being at the studio greeting and guiding - I am so immensely thankful to have the opportunity to teach and practice online and have this community to connect to in a whole new way! ⁠ ⁠ We can take this time to really dive into caring for our own unique needs and listening truly to our own bodies, minds and breath - both on and off the mat. I hope you take comfort in knowing that we are all breathing moving, going through this together. This too shall pass. The sprouting revolutionary thought and questions and togetherness that is budding from this crazy time has a palpable energy, in a way the world is uniting!⁠ ⁠ The only constant in life is change; life feels very different right now, and it’s okay to have off days of course. Personally, I have had both good days and bad, and mixtures of the two, through it all I have held onto this imagery of us all being within metamorphosis. Caterpillars now in our cocoons, only to emerge soon as happy, healthy, peaceful free butterflies. ⁠ ⁠ May you be ~⁠ Namaste! ⁠ ⁠ #YogaLabWestshore #LabCommunity⁠
