DULCE CAPADOCIA
Southampton Township, NJ, US

A Vinyasa based teacher & award winning choreographer whose credentials seamlessly blend traditional yoga training (200 hrs YTT/Yoga Works), trauma informed methodologies (Yoga Ed/LMU) & advanced degrees in movement arts. The notable Los Angeles Center for Yoga is her lineage.

Dulce Capadocia is from Los Angeles, California where she is well known for her work as an acclaimed Asian American dance storyteller and dance artist. Her dance background is in both cultural and modern dance forms. Originally from a dance home where traditional arts and culture flourished, she is trained in Philippine folk arts by her mother to perform in major Los Angeles venues. Later, she received her formal dance training from Loyola Marymount University (B.A. ) and Temple University (M.F.A.).

Dulce discovered yoga and began her journey when multiple family members became terminally ill. Alone and facing crisis, she turned to yoga using it as a wellness escape during a time of serious and life altering family illnesses. This transformative experience found its way to Center for Yoga, Los Angeles' premier yoga studio; after many years of dedicated training, she took the plunge to complete her 200 hours of Yoga Teacher Training under her first teacher, Jeanne Heileman for a month long intensive beside the sacred waters of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Today, yoga is an integral part of her life and she joyfully shares this through ongoing, heart opening, soulful, all levels classes and workshops in Philadelphia, New Jersey and Los Angeles. Her students range in ability and background to include pregnant teens as well as survivors of human trafficking. She continues to deepen her personal and teaching practices to investigate yoga's role in assisting people who have experienced major life challenges.

Current influences

Dulce's yoga teaching practice is deeply shaped by her extensive background in professional dance and personal journey toward wellness and healing. Rather than drawing from a single lineage, her teaching philosophy is a multifaceted fusion of diverse yoga styles, somatic movement and community arts activism. Her foundational pillars include her academic training from Temple and Loyola Marymount Universities in Dance. Yoga is a natural transition complementing her strong physical and spatial knowledge of the human body. Her training in non-western traditions infuses her yoga sequences with unique, cultural, & rhythmic dimensions. She credits her formative yoga practice to all her teachers at Center for Yoga who have exposed her to an eclectic array of yoga styles and masters. She thanks her first teachers Jeanne Heileman & Susan Priver, among many, and Kyra Haglund for deepening her yoga teaching by adding a layer of belief that yoga can be one's personal sanctuary for emotional recovery and mental clarity.
