"Yoga DiVita is a warm, welcoming environment for all to come together. A place to be with ease, breathe with clarity, move with grace, and to realize you are perfect." Meet the teacher/founder;
My name is Dawn DiVita! Back in 1998 I was living in Key West, FL and stumbled across 2 very amazing VHS’s with Patricia Walden and Rodney Yee. I was a gym rat up to that point, although I needed and desir
ed to find something that would ground and calm me. My very fiery spirit was absolutely blown away with my 1st class, which led to my 2nd, which led to where I am today ~ sharing the practice body, breath, mind, and spirit. In 2003 my family and I lived in Williamsburg, VA. I ventured into my first training with NESTA certification and began teaching at the EVSPA performing arts academy for 2 years. It felt so incredible to enrich people’s lives with this practice. From 1998 to 2005, I felt I was missing something…a teacher. In 2006, we moved to the beach to be closer to family! In 2009, I began studying with my teacher, Trace Sahaja Bonner. She is the founder/teacher of Holy Cow Yoga Center in Charleston, SC. Trace’s teacher is Swami Satichadanda, the founder of Yogaville and also my guru. I am very grateful for their guidance and mentorship. Since then I have had the pleasure to train and study under some amazing teacher’s near and far; Dawn Yager, Jason Crandell, Allison Dennis, and Gabriel Halpern to just name a few of my favorites. My trainings and areas of focus have been in several areas; hatha, yin, gentle, kids, kundalini, vinyasa, prenatal, and restorative. I also love to personally dive into and share the philosophy, meditation, and daily spiritual practice(sadhana) of yoga. Yoga DiVita was founded in 2009 in North Myrtle Beach. Yoga DiVita literally means “Union of Life” and was the perfect business name as I began my journey to share the practice to our community. I am so excited at what amazing students and teachers have found a hOMe in this community through Yoga DiVita. Classes have been offered in many places across our North Myrtle Beach area; J. Bryan Community Center, Parkway Plaza, and the Big RED Barn. Each space was perfect with purpose and serving many, teachers and students. It has expanded and contracted like our breath, the ebb and flow of life. May of 2016, I find myself excited with the opportunity to settle in at the Legion Martial Arts to offer classes solely Monday - Friday at 9:30am. Each week has a theme or focus and this information is posted on the home page of Yoga DiVita's website. You will find more amazing information from food, to special events, to shared stories under our cool offerings. Yoga is way more than a pose, sitting in stillness...it is a journey and encompasses every moment of your life! Since 2010, I have had the opportunity to be a teacher for a program called Kidz Yoga. During the school year, I start each morning off with the children within our public school system. We teach them the fundamentals of breath and body awareness through creative activities, games, group poses, partner poses, and individual practice. These little ones are amazing and as much a teacher to me as I am to them. In 2017, Yoga DiVita became an accredited Yoga Alliance School.
