Hi, my name is Dashama Konah Gordon. My name, which was created by my mother who was divinely inspired, means "The Sacred Friend" (in Hebrew and Hawaiian) and in Sanskrit it means "to give 10% or to tithe". It is also the name of a Hindu Goddess, who is the Goddess of Adversity. I am a RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance), Certified Thai Yoga Therapist, and Certified Personal Trainer. I am a lover of life, a yogini, a health and fitness enthusiast, and a lifetime student of progressive and continual lifestyle improvement. I began practicing yoga and ayurvedic (holistic and natural) health and dietary methods as a child, with my mother and sisters. Throughout my life, I have participated in every sport and activity imaginable, from rock climbing, hiking, softball, cheerleading, dance team, gymnastics, snowboarding, diving, swimming, volleyball and cross country long distance running, to many forms of martial arts and yoga. Although I have been practicing Yoga from the earliest years of my life, it was during my college years that I truly began to know Yoga intimately. To open my heart, release my attachment to the ego and allow God to work through me and with me both on and off the mat. When I let go of my need to be constantly on the go, "in control", doors started to open for me that I never even knew were closed... Through the practice of yoga and meditation, I am able to experience deeply the love and light within myself and to feel more connected to others. As I explore the vast possibilities that exist in the mental, physical and spiritual planes, I see that there is boundless potentiality for each human's evolution during this lifetime. The journey truly is the destination, as we all pave our way through this world, remembering that our true nature is only love and that at the essence of life, we are all one with God. It is only when you can look into your enemy's eyes and see God before you that you have realized the divinely intricate and magical fabric of life that we have the blessed privilege to be a part of. My first inspiration to help people in the fitness field came when I was a teenager. I grew up around several overweight family members and it saddened me to see them in so much pain, physically and emotionally. Due to their physical condition, they were restricted in what they were capable of doing. Walking was a struggle and their hips and knees were in constant pain. This lead me to study and learn in depth about health, fitness and weight loss

 My work has brought me to understand how unique we all are, while at the same time constantly reminding me that we are all seeking the same thing. We all want to feel love and happiness as often as possible. I have come to know that when you are tuned in with yourself, you will be able to sense exactly what you need in order to bring yourself into balance and harmony at any given time. One aspect of what I do is teach people how to be their own internal coach. Some of the methods I use in my own life and that I teach to my students are: Meditation, the many aspects of Yoga, Liberation through Movement and Dance, Breathing techniques (Pranayama), Exercise, Nutrition and Ayurveda. I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach to anything. I believe your current physical condition, past history, and goals for the future are unique and therefore the path that will lead you to your greatest success and happiness should be customized and designed specifically for you, with you in mind. This should be done in a way that is simple to follow and enjoyable for you to experience. I love to work with positive, motivated people who are interested in improving their lives, using preventative measures and implementing positive lifestyle changes to ensure a healthy future, and who desire to reach the next level in all areas of their lives. If you have a desire to be in better physical, mental, emotional and/or spiritual condition than you are at this moment, let’s begin your journey today!
