About Daria
I’m Daria and I’m here to inspire and support you with Yoga and Thai Yoga Massage in person and online.
Based in Valencia, Spain, I am a 500+ hour Senior Yoga Teacher and Advanced Thai Massage Therapist in the profession since 2014. My yoga classes are known for their creativity, variety, and out-of-the-box sequencing. Working with strong themes from the ‘physical’ to ‘beyond physical’, I skilfully weave in yoga philosophy into the physical practice. If you appreciate hands-on assists, one-to-one yoga sessions include physical Thai-style manipulation and assisted stretching to help open the body and release habitual holding patterns.
Thai Yoga Massage is a powerful therapy for re-balancing mind, body and spirit that combines rhythmic massage, assisted stretching, acupressure, energy balancing and mindfulness meditation. I tune into your energy to help support you on your individual path and instil positive, sustainable shifts in your health and wellbeing.
I see Yoga and Thai Bodywork as part of physical, mental and emotional health maintenance that facilitates healing and a deeper connection to oneself. Whether you see me for Yoga, Thai Bodywork or Yogassage (mixing yoga and massage) you will always have my undivided attention.
"I see yoga and massage as part of physical, mental and emotional health maintenance".
What I Believe
I believe Yoga and Thai Yoga Massage are gifts of self-awareness and transformation. With these gifts we become empowered and alive.
My in-person and online offerings are built around the principles of yoga psychology; bringing in the power of personal intention and breath to foster transformation and inner peace. I specialise in yoga for anxiety, stress, burnout and chronic fatigue; yoga for self-confidence and personal power; yoga for pregnancy and post-partum; yoga for functional mobility and strength; yoga nidra sleep meditation; and Thai yoga massage. As someone who came to yoga through Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I learned to re-build my physical strength slowly, patiently, with self-awareness and compassion during my recovery. I want to share with you the things that helped me tune back into myself.
As a polyglot who speaks fluent English, Russian, French, Spanish and Italian, I am here to support you if you are looking for a multilingual yoga teacher or massage therapist, whether online or in person.
