Fascinated with body awareness, Daphné completed a 250-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Luna Yoga (Montreal). She is currently completing a 100-hour Kids Yoga Teacher Training with Appleseed Yoga (Toronto).

With over 10 years of experience teaching music and yoga, Daphne is fluent in French and English. Her goal is to give her students the best and most diverse tools to experience a state of freedom when they play.
Daphne mainly studied classical music and that’s what she loves to teach. She is open to the interests, level and age of each of her students; her teaching style is based on the most popular and recognized teaching methods (Létourneau, Suzuki, RCM, etc.). Daphné considers that a good theoretical basis and a daily discipline is essential to allow her students to have all the tools to progress as well as possible.
