Women Yoga Journey

A site for yoga lovers

In my experience I find yoga to be more than a workout – it is a lifestyle that encompasses soul, body and mind. I remember when I got my first yoga mat and started to attend my first yoga classes. It was so new to me and I was so self-conscious about my ability to do the poses and the clothing I was wearing.

Hi There! My name is Lidia. This site is for those of you who have a passion, an interest or just a curiosity in yoga practice and for those who want to find some really cool and essential yoga stuff. I hope that what I share on this website further inspires you on your journey in the magical and life-transforming world of yoga.

With practice and persistence, I fell in love with yoga. Not only did I learned the poses I was being taught, but I also learned about breathing, meditation, asanas, yamas & niyamas and accepting who I am, my outer and inner beauty, peace, stillness and taking responsibility for my own happiness.

It has been a long journey and one that I am grateful to have embarked on. No matter where I am, I always make sure to find a studio and practice yoga to the fullest. I have also taken several workshops to strengthen my practice, deepen my skills in particular poses and broaden my knowledge of yoga.

My goal with this site is to share with you a little bit of what yoga is all about as well, share information about retreats I am hosting or other events, as well as information on the clothing and accessories you will need to support your practice of yoga. If you are at a point where you have made the decision to check out what yoga is all about, feel free to explore my site and please contact me with any questions or comments you might have.

Welcome to my site – I hope it furthers your journey. Thank you for stopping by!

The Journey of a Yoga Teacher

Learning how to teach yoga was never something I had set out to do as I grew deeper and deeper into my own practice. To me it has been a profound learning experience, not only of yoga as a whole, but also about myself.

Anatomy of the Spine

Earlier this year I took a training workshop on the anatomy of the spine and the anatomy of the core covering the functional movement and injury management. As I listened to the instructor I felt my passion for learning about this subject and I felt like a sponge absorbing the concepts that the instructor shared …

Dorsey Standish

I am so happy I found this place! Shefali is an amazing instructor who is genuine, attentive to making you comfortable with her nourishing spirit. I found my inner peace, healthy mind and soul through practice. This practice has literally changed my life!

Wendy Currie

I got my 200 RYT teachers training at Dhyana Yoga Journey. The training program was a beautiful journey and very well structured. The material provided was complete and easy to understand. My teacher Shefali was very knowledgeable and compassionate. She patiently answered all my questions related to the subject. I would highly recommend Dhyana Yoga Journey.

Sharmila Varadarajan

I went for Pranayama sessions. Shefali Ma’am is very knowledgeable. There is indeed a world of difference between attempting to do Pranayama via videos and learning from a Guru. Thank you Ma’am, had a wonderful experience with you.

Hamsini Poduval

I learned so much about the history, mythology, anatomy and methodology of yoga from Shefali. The learning environment couldn’t be more intimate and comfortable. I am now a 200 RYT and own my own studio, so many thanks to Dhyana Yoga Journey for believing in me and being so inspirational along the journey.

Katherine Carbajal

I’m so happy that I found Dhyana. I would describe it as more traditional yoga,which is just what I wanted. The teachers are knowledgeable and help you understand why you’re doing certain poses beyond just exercise. You can tell that they love yoga and strive to live that life.

I have very much enjoyed my experience with Shefali. She is kind, knowledgeable, and a wonderful teacher. I’ve particularly appreciated her emphasis on breath and breathwork as pillar of yoga practice, as well as her careful attention to proper alignment.

Victoria Zimmerman

I took my 200HR RYT training from Shefali and couldn’t have been happier to be on this journey with her as my teacher. She was patient and encouraging throughout the entire process and I learned and created so many healthy habits from her teachings. Shefali not only covered the technicalities of the poses but truly brought in the lifestyle and teachings of yoga philosophy. I learned the Sanskrit pronunciation of each of the asana poses, the Gita, Yoga Sutras, Ayuverda, meditation practices, pranayama techniques, and much much more.

Candice Cahill

Dhyana Yoga is a true gem in Plano. The owners and teachers are dedicated to sharing their love of yoga to all who walk through the doors. This focuses on what I call real yoga in that they closely follow Eastern philosophy.

Samantha P.

This is my favorite in DFW. They genuinely do their best to help others along their Mind, Body, Spirit Journey. Not only did they help to deepen my yoga and meditation practices, but the proprietors and even the other students were there for me with love and compassion when I had a devastating loss in my family. I would attend there more often, but moved out of the area. I still stay in touch with and miss my family at Dhyana!

Mystic Kathryn

I did my Yoga Teacher training at Dhyana yoga and wouldn’t trade that experience for anything else. Its just Yoga done right. From the history of Yoga to every relevant aspect of modern yoga including its sister science Ayurveda, its truly a very comprehensive curriculum. If you are looking for the traditional yoga and learning your poses right and get your alignment right , this is definitely where you want to kickoff your practice and start your journey.

Padmini Hundy

Best place to practice Yoga, the teachers are very knowledgeable and they teach with love and compassion. I received my yoga teacher training here and it is the best. If anyone is looking to practice yoga and a teacher training program, don’t look anywhere go to Dhyana yoga. I live 40 miles away from the place,  though the commute was a pain at times but I never felt tired or dragged myself because I looked forward to coming here. It was all worth it for me.

Healing Through Play and Movement The Connected Community: Exploring Possibility

• Self-Improvement

In today's  episode, we're joined by Angie Barrett, an Intuitive Movement Coach, Advanced Trauma Informed Yoga Instructor, Registered Nurse, and Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga Instructor, sharing her remarkable journey of healing emotional trauma through the use of movement paired with play.. Around eight years ago, Angie found herself confronted with the resurfacing of childhood sexual abuse trauma while juggling demanding roles as a nurse and yoga teacher. This overwhelming experience propelled her into exploring trauma-informed yoga teacher training, where she stumbled upon a profound discovery—the transformative potential of movement paired with play.   Diving deeper into Angie's journey, we explore the science underpinning her approach, particularly the polyvagal theory, which she adeptly incorporates into her practice. Angie passionately advocates that healing doesn't have to be a painful process and introduces her innovative methodology, which has yielded remarkable results for both herself and her clients. She stresses the importance of releasing accumulated trauma, regardless of its size, from our bodies to foster growth and healing.   Angie's story epitomizes resilience and transformation, from surviving childhood abuse to finding solace and healing through the power of movement and play. Drawing from her diverse background as a nurse and yoga instructor, she adeptly guides others in releasing stored trauma and transcending suffering through unconventional yet effective means. Join us for an illuminating conversation with Angie Barrett as we delve into the profound connection between joy and healing on the path to self-discovery and empowerment.   Connect with me: https://nickyYyoga.com https://www.youtube.com/@TheConnectedCommunity [email protected]   Connect with Angie: https://angieberrettmovement.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/angieberrettmovement/ https://Instagram.com/angieberrettmovement https://www.facebook.com/angie.berrett/ https://www.youtube.com/@angieberrettmovement   00:00 Introduction and Background 00:46 Using Play to Heal from Trauma 05:31 Differences in Trauma-Informed Yoga 08:04 The Power of Play 11:05 Exploring Play and Movement 14:18 Rhythmic and Repetitive Movements 22:08 Healing Trauma through Play 23:42 The PolyvagalTheory 25:23 The Role of Play and Movement in Releasing Energy 26:11 Releasing Trauma without Identifying the Trigger 27:18 The Importance of Having a Guide for Deep Emotional Releases 28:42 Animals' Natural Way of Releasing Trauma 29:32 Personal Experience of Shaking and Releasing Trauma 30:59 The Profound Release and Lightness After Shaking 33:26 The Importance of Having a Guide for Deep Emotional Releases 35:23 The Benefits of Virtual Healing Sessions 38:56 Reconnecting with the Inner Child through Play 39:53 Healing Childhood Wounds and Negative Beliefs 43:21 The Connection Between Trauma and Loss of Imagination 44:29 Healing Doesn't Have to Be Heavy
