Dacia Cordell

Hello, my name is Dacia (Day-Sha). I’ve been practicing yoga since 2018. I was introduced to yoga to try and naturally heal my body from chronic pain. I am a former ballet dancer, I have danced for over 15 years. The sport is very physically draining on the body unfortunately, my body took most of the brunt of it. I constantly woke up in pain, some days unable to walk from back pain, and I needed relief. I saw chiropractors for years and although it would help at the moment I would revert to the same pain I walked in with. Well, in 2018 I discovered a Rodney Yee DVD in dollar tree and thought let’s see what this is about. I instantly was hooked on how it made me feel. Fast forward to 2020 during the pandemic, I was in the house practicing yoga every day and I started to learn about my body, learn how powerful breath is, and how I can begin to heal my body. For the first time in years, I was not in pain from when I woke up until I went to bed. It changed my life, and I hope to share that with everyone. The power breath and movement have on the body are something I want to share with anyone willing explore their bodies in a new way.

Mind. Body. Spirit

You will learn grace with yourself. You will learn how to have gentle interal conversations with yourself. You will learn that you are stronger than you think. You will learn to push past your mental limitations.

I have a student who was in a toxic relationship and she gained over 50 lbs. She had stopped taking care of her body and was in pretty poor physical health. When I started teaching her she could not touch her toes and was not flexible. A year later she can reach beyond touching her toes, and she is able to do the splits which was a major goal. Something she never thought she would be able to do. She has gained strength, flexibilty and confidence.
