Yoga: Darquise Desnoyers

Darquise is a dynamic and fun-loving teacher who has lived in Port Moody since 1995. She loves working within her own community and is excited to work with a team that shares a common goal – improving the lives of others by providing guidance and awareness, while encouraging them to take responsibility for their health.

Through teaching DRU Yoga, Darquise provides tools needed to help elevate her students to achieve a healthier, happier, and more empowered way of living. This is accomplished by increasing body awareness, balancing the body-mind connection, and encouraging self-care and self-responsibility. Darquise draws upon 18 years of teaching experience in elementary schools and adult education, bringing enthusiasm and a love of life to her yoga classes. She is sensitive to the individual needs of her students, providing modifications as needed to create classes that are accessible to all levels and abilities.

Darquise has been practicing DRU Yoga since 1999 and is a certified DRU Yoga teacher having completed the DRU Yoga teacher training in 2003. A believer in life-long learning, Darquise continues DRU Yoga postgraduate studies locally, as well as traveling to Wales twice a year to attend the DRU Course Centre and assisting in the local teacher training course. She will also complete the DRU Meditation teacher training in 2008.

Darquise enjoys an active life that includes walking, hiking, kayaking, reading, and her daily yoga practice, but is most passionate about teaching the life-long benefits of DRU Yoga to her students.
