What Trainees say:
"What I liked most about DGYS Training was the teachers of course!!!! Valentine's and Olivia's combined wealth of knowledge, wisdom and passion for Kundalini Yoga is commendable and super inspiring! I loved how each module flowed into the next one. The workbooks that went along with each module were carefully thought out and done in a highly professional manner. I am grateful I will always be able to use them for my own practices going forward. My most favorite part of the Training was being in class with others and doing these modules together for 3 days each month! This has been such a positive experience that I will always remember and keep close to my heart!"
Robin W., DGYS 200-Hour, Class of 2021-22
Also known as the Yoga of Awareness, Kundalini yoga is a powerful tool to
enhance personal freedom, self discovery, and soulful living. Delta Groove Yoga is the place in space to initiate yourself and unlock your inner talents. We will teach you how to Tune-In, Tune-Up, and Transform in order to embody fully your most radiant Self!
ABOUT OUR trainingS
At points along our journey, we want to take a step back and examine the nature of life, existence, consciousness, the universe, humankind, relationships, and perhaps most profoundly, ourselves. The frequency of these points varies from person to person, but we find that in order to get to the essence of our journey, we must become attuned to our inner depths.
Kundalini is your creative potential, your muse, your vital impulse. It is the common denominator for all forms of self-healing, inspiration and evolution. Composed of dynamic and static sequences, Kundalini yoga alternates intense and light effort in order to work the heart, the body and the spiritual dimension. It develops optimism, joie de vivre, and the circulation of love.
Using Kriyas (the science of sequence), meditations, pranayama (breathwork), mantras, bandhas (energetic body locks), and mudras, Kundalini Yoga provides a systematic approach to generate, capture, and direct energy from within to empower ourselves, and in the process, empowering the world as a whole.
Whether you are looking for a challenging physical reset or the experience of moving into transcendent states through meditation, Kundalini Yoga is an integral practice working on all levels of being. This training is designed to let you experience the powerful, multi-dimensional effects of Kundalini Yoga, from a renewed nervous system through a deeper awareness of the mind/body/spirit connection.
Delta Groove Yoga School is a 200 and 300 Hour Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School. Our programs will allow you to build or deepen your yogic toolkit, develop or strengthen your daily Sadhana (committed personal practice) and take these sacred teachings out into the world as a teacher, healer, and radiant being. Through honest participation, you'll cultivate personal greatness and meet other great yogis who share a vision to heal, uplift, and inspire each other and the world. SAT NAM!

olivia & valentine
Olivia Rokotnitz & Valentine Leonard have been described as explosive yet always grounded. Their approach is finely tuned for a dynamic transformation of the human element: mind, body, spirit & heart. They are committed to translating these ancient practices with passion, levity and depth to leave students feeling uplifted and inspired to be their most authentic Self.
Olivia is a committed student of Kundalini Yoga in all its forms and teachings. She is a long time student of Kundalini Laya Yoga Master Kirantana Khalsa. A Kundalini Yoga Senior Teacher for Ravi Singh & Ana Brett, and a trained Khalsa Way Prenatal Teacher with Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, Olivia has also trained in Vinyasa, Hatha, and Tantra Yoga with some of the world’s premier teachers. Olivia grew up singing & playing many instruments and has been studying Yoga since she was a teenager.
Valentine's yoga practice took center stage after she fell in love with Kundalini yoga in Olivia's class back in 2010. Valentine went on to train in the US and Europe with masters faithful to the oldest traditions but freed from all dogma (Ravi Singh, Kirantana Kaur Khalsa, Satyavrati Karta). Thanks to their transmission, her passion, her commitment, and 20+ years of teaching experience (philosophy, yoga, creative writing) from the university level to kindergarten, she has been offering classes, workshops, trainings and international retreats in France, Mexico and Costa-Rica since 2012. Facilitating a group dynamic which reassures and inspires, connects and liberates, has become her specialty.
Together Olivia & Valentine find a unique rhythm and structure for the Kundalini Yoga Kriyas, mantras, and breath meditations that students have loved for years. They each have studied, taught, and led Kundalini Yoga Trainings together since 2010. Their mission is to teach students how to awaken their Soul, speak their truth, and manifest with love, light & peace. They are dedicated to helping each student discover and express their gifts in teaching and in life.
