Domenique is the owner of .pa!!
•
She is a certified Yoga instructor whose teachings are rooted in the Vinyasa Yoga lineage. While completing her 200-hour training in Vinyasa through One Point One Yoga in Bloomfield, Domenique gained an appreciation for cultivating a sustainable & purposeful Yoga practice, by interweaving breath work and meditation along with the physical postures. The philosophy of Yoga, and the practice’s ability to flip her perspective by encouraging self reflection, is what continues to inspire her today. Her personal practice is constantly evolving.
•
Domenique’s classes offer students the opportunity to move through challenging shapes and transitions, often working toward a peak pose. She loves to get students moving in unique, yet functional & healthy ways, that will inspire students to ask questions. As an instructor, she aims to empower students through this movement and exploration. Students can expect an emphasis on the anatomy of shapes in her classes!

We hope you’ll join the us!
