Dawn Blezard

Dawn comes into the Chai Shop and has a nice chat outlining a path of self-discovery and internal inquiry since the age of 21. Dawn shares her journey from a troubled childhood marked by bullying and abuse to finding solace in yoga and philosophy, culminating in her participation in the Jiva Mukti training in Costa Rica. Between sips of chai, Dawn talks about teaching yoga and philosophy to a community facing various challenges, emphasizing the importance of creating a safe space for personal growth and self-discovery. A true practitioner, she practices what she preaches and is open about the role of yoga in her life, both as a physical practice and as a philosophical framework that helps her overcome personal obstacles. Dawn also discusses her approach to teaching, which includes inviting students to test their practice in real-life situations, as well as her ongoing efforts to build a supportive community centered around Jivamukti Yoga.
