ABOUT

DAPHNY

DAPHNY

Hello dear one, my name is Daphny. My journey with yoga began early, ignited by a childhood fascination with the art of movement.

What started as curiosity became a lifelong path of grounding and healing. I'm also a proud mother of two, and together with my husband, we enjoy a slower-paced life in a peaceful seaside town in southern Portugal, a world away from the busy city life we left behind.

My own childhood, marked by early challenges across Germany and the Netherlands, taught me resilience and the mantra, "Everything I've experienced has shaped who I am." As a young adult in Amsterdam, I thrived in a fast-paced corporate life until burnout brought me back to yoga and Ayurveda. These practices became my lifeline, guiding me through both career transitions and personal challenges, including postpartum depression.

Today, I teach yin yoga, vinyasa, ashtanga, and meditation, and host Ayurvedic workshops and online detox programs on my platform, Ayurveda Mum. I'm also writing a book under the same name. My passion is helping women reconnect with their inner strength and wisdom, creating spaces where we can nurture, support, and empower each other. I look forward to sharing this journey with you

Together, we’ve designed a retreat that reflects our shared philosophy: a perfect blend of delicious healthy food, holistic practices, comfortable luxury, and the serene beauty of the Algarve.

NAIA retreats are for women seeking a space to unwind, recharge, and reconnect at their own pace. Whether you choose to immerse yourself in yoga, savor nourishing meals, or simply relax in nature, every moment is designed to honor you.
