Love Life Hot Yoga Studio

“Yoga is uniting the body, mind and breath. Yoga is mindfulness and acceptance. Yoga is creating balance and awareness. I hope to help others build their awareness so they can experience life with steadiness and ease.”

Darci discovered yoga in 2013. Amazed at how yoga was able to help her conquer anxiety, she was immediately drawn to the practice that helped her find peace, joy and relaxation. Along with the physical benefits of a stronger and more flexible body, she found that through yoga she could learn to accept and overcome obstacles on and off of the mat.

Known for her authentic, non-judgmental teaching style, Darci emphasizes contentment in her classes. Her classes are identifiable in their ability to meet students where they are on any given day.

Darci has received her 200 hour certification with 2 approved and active Registered Yoga Schools, one of them being Love Life Hot Yoga.

Yoga has the power to move you, change you, to force yourself to look inside and ask yourself: what is it that my heart desires? And perhaps if you practice yoga with an open heart and a free mind the world will open up to your journey. My journey started on Vancouver Island and has led me here to Grande Prairie, somewhere I never thought in a million years I would be! Yet here I am happy to be encouraging others to find their own yogic path.

Yoga….In 2011 I went on a journey to Mexico and received my 200 hour training at Yandara Yoga Institute. This was for me, not thinking I would teach. Then the universe provided opportunities for me to share what I learned and here I am today. I love every part of yoga, being a constant student and living yoga on and off my mat. Yoga is the best gift you can give yourself.

I believe I was born a yogi and have been teaching yoga since my first official class in 1994. Dreaming of creating a connected Yoga community in Grande Prairie since 1999, I realized that dream in 2009 with Love Life Hot Yoga. At times we are actually more of a family than simply a community of yogis. I teach an array of different yoga classes from yoga nidra, chocolate covered yoga, yin, hot power vinyasa and Flight School where we focus on arm balances and inversions. After 20 years of teaching I still consider myself a student and I learn something new from the people I teach every day. The biggest lesson I’ve learned from yoga is that we are human. We aren’t meant to be perfect. When you let go of trying to force yourself to look a certain way in a pose, or to look like your neighbor, you allow space to actually feel it. That’s what I think yoga is…letting go and experiencing life.
