About Me
With a focus on practical application, Dakota’s teachings center around a whole system approach to achieving optimal health and wellness. Dakota co-founded iLa Yoga™ in 2012 and is the Co-Director of the iLa Yoga™ and Bodhi Tree Yoga Schools in the US and Costa Rica. Through educational yoga retreats and trainings, he empowers students from around the world to live into their fullest potential.
Dakota’s launch into the vast domain of yoga began in 2006 stemming from an interest in exploring peak physical performance. As a lifelong athlete, he found undeniable physical benefits from a regular practice that, over the years, has evolved into a daily discovery of what is needed to live a happy, healthy life. In addition to his yoga education, Dakota is a certified Oxygen Advantage instructor and incorporates breath training and respiratory anatomy into his teachings. From this approach, Dakota uses the practice of yoga as the main pathway to awareness in discovering what practices are most beneficial on any given day to achieve optimal physical and mental health. His teachings offer the opportunity to bring about radical self-care and change through the practice of awareness and consistent practices.
