The Definition of Zuna in Sanskrit is Abundance, Success, and to Thrive.

Chitta: Mind, Consciousness

Chitta is one of the four aspects of consciousness. The aspect of chitta allows for subjectivity, one’s emotional reaction to what it sees and it’s own nature. Chitta is defined as the “mind stuff.” In the body, Chitta is the centered in the heart. Petanjali says that Yoga calms Chitta rather than destroying it. We can cultivate Chitta by simply being aware of the streams of thoughts, emotions and images.

Vritti: Waves, Fluctuations

Vritti refers to cyclical movements of energy in the spine. Vortex, eddy, whirlpool. According to Petanjali, “Yoga is the neutralization of the vortices of feeling.” Vrittis are habitual motions of thoughts associated with egoic desires and attachments, such as “I want,” and “I like.” In yoga, as presented by Petanjali, the goal is to neutralize these vorices around the ego by attaining stillness in the spine.

Nirodhah: To Control, To Quiet

Nirodha is another Sanskrit term meaning “cessation” or “removal.” Petanjali used this word in the Yoga Sutras as part of the complete definition: “yoga-citta-vritti-nirodha,” which is translated as “yoga is the removal of the fluctuations of the mind.” Nirodha is also the third of the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism, referring to the cessation of suffering caused by attachment. Once removed, Nirvana is attained.

What are my students saying

Here are some testimonials from my students, and how yoga and my classes have helped them on their yoga journey.

I began taking Darnell's yoga classes as a novice in yoga. I was impressed with her ability to teach me many different poses with ease. Her love for the practice is evident through her teachings and inspires me to be a more devoted student. Her classes are very relaxing to my mind, body and spirit. I not only have improved my yoga practice, but also made progress in my balance, patience, and focus as a result of taking her classes. Her way of teaching incorporates physiological science to assist in ailments such as lower back pain, tight hips, neck tension and other common ailments. She has been my favorite instructor to date and I highly recommend her for all levels of yoga practice.

I have been following Darnell for 8 years now and I am grateful to have found Darnell as my yoga teacher. It's hard to find a yoga teacher that "fits" you. Going to her class is like going on a mini yoga retreat. I always come out feeling completely different. I'm more relaxed, calm, renewed, and mindful. I Look forward to her class so much because I always walk out feeling like a new me without pains, and like a new person! From her cheerful and positive personality, the relaxing oils, to the quotes she reads to us at the end of class...I just love every minute of her class!! Thank you, Darnell!! Looking forward to more classes in the future.

Practising for 8 years

I have been a student of Darnell for about 8 years. I started her yoga classes as a novice yoga student and barely able to sit cross legged. During these last 8 years, I have come to learn so much of what yoga is all about. It's not just about building strength in my body but learning about body awareness, patience, and calmness. I have learned that yoga is for the whole body and mind. My core strength has improved greatly which has improved my balance. I use yoga to complement my strength and cardio training. Darnell said recently in one of her classes, that "yoga is about being strong but also soft," and that really resonated with me. That is exactly how I want to feel, in all aspects. In her classes I've also learned to connect to my breathing. I am so grateful for Darnell's yoga style. I feel she provides something for everyone, regardless of their yoga ability.
