Daphne Charles
Facilitator, Architect, Designer
Daphne is a holistic architect practicing internationally; a certified Passive House consultant; a licensed Biogeometry practitioner; and experienced yoga teacher (and teacher trainer) and cofounder of Routes of Yoga. She leads Dharmalaya Institute’s Architecture and Design faculty, and she is cofounder of Dharmalaya Institute’s sister school in the USA, Earthville Institute.
Growing up in both Singapore and Australia, Daphne gained an early appreciation for diversity of experience and perspective. Recognising the universal importance of balance — in body, mind, relationship, and environments — led to Daphne’s twin professions as yoga teacher and holistic architect. Seeing that our “inner” and “outer” worlds are merely different aspects of the same whole, living system, as expressed in our ancient wisdom traditions, Daphne seeks in all her work to catalyse harmony between thought, action and manifestation.
