OUR TEACHERS
Bhakti believes in the body’s profound wisdom and tis innate capacity to heal, grow and experience joy. Her work is a heartfelt integration of these passions: creating a sanctuary where the mind, body and spirit can safely unravel old stories and consciously weave new ones.
In Bhakti’s yoga classes, the focus is on joyful embodiment, reconnecting with your body’s strength, your heart’s rhythms and the simple, powerful act of being present. She brings in elements of somatic psychotherapy to decode the language of your nervous system, and the craniosacral work as a subtle art of listening touch, a gentle dialogue w your body’s inner rhythms. Together, these methods encourage alignment and integration on multiple levels, leaving you feeling refreshed and recharged with a deeper sense of calm.
Daphne Dust began her journey as a yoga teacher in 2012. She is a senior Dharma Yoga® Registered Teacher with over a decade of global teaching experience. A devoted disciple of Sri Dharma Mittra, she holds 500, 800 and 1000 hour Life of a Yogi certifications from 2014-2018, making her one of Asia’s most highly qualified Dharma Yoga teachers. Daphne has led workshops, retreats, and trainings worldwide, including in Hong Kong, New York, Tokyo, Kobe, Sapporo, Berlin, Barcelona, London, Seoul, and Singapore etc.
In 2018, Daphne made history as the first guest teacher from Asia to represent Dharma Yoga Hong Kong at the Dharma Yoga Conference in New York. She also served as a faculty assistant to Sri Dharma Mittra at the Asia Yoga Conference in 2017 and 2019, solidifying her role as a trusted representative of the Dharma Yoga lineage.
Daphne’s teaching emphasizes compassion, mindfulness, and spiritual growth. Her classes blend creativity, joy, and personalized guidance, inspired by her own journey into yoga, which began in 1995 as a personal sanctuary during challenging times. Overcoming a serious illness in 2020 deepened her practice, shaping her teaching style to focus on self-care, holistic health, and liberation.
A certified Singing Bowl Therapist and Usui Reiki practitioner, Daphne continues her studies in TCM acupuncture in the HKU and Tibetan meditation under Master Mingyur Rinpoche.
