ACCREDITED BY
MEET YOUR EXPERT TRAINER
Hey, I’m Daphne Manhattan 👋 I’m an Australian-based, Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher Trainer (Yoga Alliance ERYT® & YACEP®) and Yoga Therapist, deeply knowledgeable in Restorative Yoga.
My yoga journey began at the age of 12 practising alongside my mother via a VHS tape in our lounge room. I've since studied over 1,000 hours of Yoga Therapy training centralised around trauma-informed yoga, meditation, compassion-focused therapy, and mental health.
My teachings interweave a BioMedical approach to facilitate a supportive practice that is therapeutic in nature and designed to cultivate new mind and bodily patterns for inner resilience, peace and tranquillity.

All yoga postures are practised in a supportive, inclusive environment, making it perfect for absolute beginners stepping onto the mat for the first time. Typically, attendees include individuals managing stress and anxiety, support persons, yoga practitioners, yoga teachers, and health professionals curious about the benefits of yoga. Please note, this class is not individually tailored for special needs, pregnancies, or pre-existing physical injuries or concerns. If these apply, we recommend consulting your physician before attending.
-
When should I book?This event can sell out so securing your spot early ensures you won’t miss out. Early bookings also allow you to take advantage of our early bird promotion, as no additional discounts or promotions are offered.
-
How many people usually attend?Typically, each event hosts no more than 20 participants, due to the nature of the event. . This allows our instructors to provide individualised guidance while fostering a sense of community among attendees.
-
Is this workshop suitable for individuals with physical limitations?While the workshop is gentle and beginner-friendly, it is not individually tailored to accommodate specific physical needs or injuries.

Can I bring my child?Anxiety is increasingly affecting younger individuals, so this is a common question. While this workshop is designed for adults, children aged 10-17 are welcome to attend if accompanied by a parent or guardian. For younger children, the session may be challenging to sit through, so I encourage you to take this time to focus on yourself and your own well-being. As a mum, I understand how difficult organising childcare can be—please don’t hesitate to reach out if this poses a challenge.
-
What should I bring to the event?We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and bringing a bottle of water. It’s also a good idea to bring a light jacket or sweater, as air conditioning can sometimes make the space feel cooler. Everything else you need for the session will be provided.
