Yoga With Dorinda

"Dorinda is a master yoga teacher who cares deeply about her students."

"In 2018, when I relocated from Sonoma to Walnut Creek, I looked for a yoga class to continue my practice. A friend highly recommended Dorinda Nyberg, who taught at a local studio. I was not familiar with Iyengar Yoga, but immediately found it to be a perfect practice for me. When Dorinda moved her practice to Danville, I followed her, first in person and then during COVID via Zoom. Dorinda is an experienced Iyengar instructor, who blends her instruction with a basic understanding of human physiology. She is a patient instructor, who often checks in to see how her students are doing. If she observes a student is struggling with a pose, she will offer suggestions for modifying the pose to achieve the desired results. While Dorinda takes her instruction seriously, she often uses humor to lighten the mood. I have thoroughly enjoyed my years of practice with Dorinda and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced Iyengar instructor. "

"Dorinda’s experience, knowledge and dedication as a Iyengar yoga instructor is evident in every class.  Her supportive, compassionate approach and focus on alignment have greatly enhanced my practice.  She provides a safe and welcoming environment that has helped me build strength, flexibility and improve  my overall fitness."

"Dorinda is a bright light as a yoga instructor. She creates a very positive space for each student to realize their best practice both physically and emotionally.  She has amazing instincts about what each person needs to enjoy their yoga safely. She customizes suggestions for comfort, strengthening and personal growth and awareness so that the student continues to improve. I finish class feeling more content and positive about my body. "

"I have been a student of yoga for about ten years taking advantage of the many benefits that yoga provides.  During that time I have had several wonderful instructors, but none as knowledgeable, competent and dedicated as Dorinda Nyberg.  Each week, Dorinda constructs unique classes made up of yoga postures that are designed to improve one's overall flexibility and strength while at the same time explaining the ancient yoga wisdom and anatomy behind the movements.     And in a single class she is able to handle a variety of skill levels ranging from beginners  to advanced yogis who wants to continue to refine their yoga practice.   Everyone feels welcome no matter what their skill level; all they need is a desire to enhance their yoga practice.  

No matter where you are in your yoga practice, (or if you don’t yet have a yoga practice),  you can take your yoga to the next level  with Dorinda’s yoga instruction and the positive yoga environment that she creates for all of her students.  Your health and well being will thank you."

"Because I was traveling often, I tried this yoga class simply because fees were per visit not per month. I am so grateful that Dorinda was teaching that day! She was welcoming, helpful, grounded, and funny. As I continued practicing with her, I found her gentle spirit accepting of my yoga wherever it was on any given day while also challenging me when she perceived I was ready. I had practiced with several other teachers prior, but when I found Dorinda, I stopped searching. I've practiced with her for about 15 years. I continue to look forward to every class. She's the Best!"

"I have been a student of Dorinda’s for many years. It was the sound of her voice and her easy to follow instructions that pulled me into her classes in the beginning. But it’s her compassion and patience with us, as students, and her suggestions and modifications for all the poses she teaches that keep me practicing yoga. I always leave her class feeling an inner calm and ease."
