Daria Montferrante, RYT 200
Registered Yoga Teacher, Mantra Teacher, Restorative Yoga, Subtle Yoga Resilience Society
Daria is inspired by a desire to help others find balance, personal awareness and restoration. This led her into what she finds to be complimentary healing arts. She completed her 200hr Yoga teacher training with Yoga Works in 2010 and her 200hr Mantra teacher training with Gretchen Carmel in 2015. She has additionally studied Restorative Yoga with Jillian Pransky and Judith Lasater and is currently a member of the Subtle Yoga Resilience Society, practicing with Kristine Webber weekly. Daria’s interest in energy work led to her initiation into Jin Shin Jyutsu in 2012, which she still studies, having spent in excess of 500 hours studying, including an intensive 200hr Jin Shin Jyustu Professional Practitioners Course. She is grateful for this lifelong practice’s ability to create deep states of relaxation and balance, which she practices daily. Daria is additionally a Reiki Master, having received her first attunement in 2008.
Daria teaches Restorative Yoga at Prana Kinnelon on Friday nights and is available for Jin Shin Jyutsu sessions by appointment. She also lovingly hand makes unique gemstone Malas and jewelry which you can find in our shop.
Testimonials
Get to know Daria…
What is a challenge in your own yoga practice?
I love how yoga facilitates openness and balance in my body (and mind), but I do struggle with maintaining a perfectly consistent practice. Finding enough energy can be tough. However, each time I come back, I find a facet of the practice that I am seeing like the first time. Stepping away offers a renewed vision. It's a gift every time.
What is something you’ve learned about yourself from teaching yoga?
I think the biggest thing I have learned is that I am not the person I thought I was. I have a voice and it has value.
What about teaching lights you up the most?
