Founder of Datza Studios in Eastlake, Seattle, Datza teaches non-heated yoga with a focus on alignment, presence, and seasonal rhythm. Her classes are accessible yet layered, teaching with awareness of space – grounding for those new to yoga while offering depth and refinement for seasoned practitioners. She likes to sprinkle in ‘wisdom bombs’ – insights that travel beyond the mat into everyday life.
With roots in Latvian folk dance, a lifelong devotion to movement, and advanced studies in yoga, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, and mentorships with master teachers worldwide, her teaching carries both precision and soul. She invites every seeker, from curious beginner to advanced practitioner, to explore yoga as a path of awareness, transformation, and freedom.
