Known for her exceptional, life-changing approach to alignment-based yoga, Desirae has guided countless students toward deeper personal growth, self-awareness, and empowered teaching.

Yoga has been a profound journey for me, one that began as a way to heal my body and quickly expanded into a path of self-discovery, transformation, and connection. I love what I do because I get to witness students uncover their own strength, resilience, and potential in every class, workshop, and retreat. Guiding others toward alignment, awareness, and empowerment fills me with joy and purpose, and I am continually inspired by the growth, courage, and authenticity I see in each person who steps onto the mat. Every teaching moment is an opportunity to share knowledge, support transformation, and celebrate the incredible capacity we all have to evolve and thrive.

“Dragon’s 200-hour teacher training program is hands down the best school in the OKC area. Maybe even all of Oklahoma. The studio is welcoming to ALL, and I’m already planning to attend the next 300-hour training.”
