It is with energetic passion, love and joy that Daphna (GuruWant Kaur) has been sharing the healing technology of Kundalini yoga over the last 17 years through classes, immersions and retreats both in her hometown of New York, her current home in Bali, and internationally. She is the coordinator and producer of the KRI approved Kundalini yoga teacher trainings in Bali in 2014 and 2015, assisting lead trainer Guru Dass in these trainings as part of her path in the Aquarian Teachers Academy.

Daphna has had the privilege of studying under yogi Bhajan, the late master of the yoga. While embarking on her path as a Kundalini practitioner and teacher, Daphna was also drawn to the modality of yoga therapy and became a certified Phoenix rising yoga therapist, and continued to explore the teachings of Hatha yoga, becoming a certified Hatha teacher as well. Daphna brings to her Kundalini yoga sessions a deep respect for, and incorporation of, the body alignment of Hatha yoga traditions, while embracing with great passion and gratitude the sharing of the transformational path of higher consciousness of Kundalini yoga, believing and teaching that we all have the wisdom, the light and the love within to manifest our highest calling.

Diaz is yoga practitioner, a student and a teacher. He is very passionate to bring yoga as his daily practice and to share his joy to teach it to others. He received a full scholarship to complete his 200 hours TTC from Santosha Yoga Experience, Australia on February 2016. He likes to deliver his class in a fun manner, but don’t let that smile fools you, expect movement, challenge, strength, a lot exercise and sweat! His love for vinyasa flow adds his creativity to sequence the poses together and become like a dance. Beside a yogi he is also an experienced creative director and design lecturer for some international universities in Jakarta, Bali and Surabaya. “My class is rather fun, not everything is too serious, playful but energetic and creative slash funky at the same time.”

Born in the city of Medan, North Sumatra, Jessica didn’t know what yoga is until she moved to the capital at the age of 24. There, her first taste of yoga lead her to her first 200 hours YTTC in Vinyasa style with late Vincent Tam. At first, it was the curiosity of learning this old ancient art of mind and body, until it taught her all about patience, wisdom, and love of oneself. Letting go is easier for her now and Jessica wants to share this discovery to other people who may need it.
