Daysha Hampton has been studying yoga for over 11 years.  After graduating with an International Business degree, she set off on a nine month backpacking trip through India, studying in many ashrams and under many teachers and traditions there.  She studied at Yoga Vidya Gurukul under the Bihar School of Yoga and completed her US Yoga Alliance R.Y.T certification. 

 

She also completed a course in Ayurveda at Yoga Vidya Gurukul and recently completed a Yoga for Therapy course in Boise to add onto her Yoga Alliance Certification.

 

She began her Theravada Buddhist study in Thailand during 2005 with the venerable Thai Buddhist monk, Dr. Chatree, who opens meditation centers around the world.  Daysha recently returned to Thailand to complete a 2 week silent meditation study with her teacher's abbot.  She stayed and studied in monasteries and ashrams in Southeast Asia and India, including but not limited to the OSHO ashram, Amma's ashram, Shivananda Ashram, BKS Iyengar's ashram along with other ashrams in Rishikesh, India while taking time to explore Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram.  She attended the 14th Dalai Lama's Annual Spring Teachings in Dharamsala, India, at the base of the Himalayas where the Dalai Lama resides in exile and took her Bodhisattva vows in 2007.

 

Daysha has studied philosophy and meditation under Theravada Buddhism , Tibetan Buddhism, Hindu, Zen and Yogic traditions.  She is happy and excited to convey what she has learned around the world in her classes, workshops, and international retreats.
