Dariush did not begin his journey as a yoga enthusiast. A competitive swimmer, martial artist, and military trained athlete, he believed he understood strength and conditioning. Then he agreed to try a power vinyasa class. Seven days and seven classes later, he was completely hooked.
What began as skepticism quickly turned into deep respect for a practice that challenges body, focuses mind, and builds resilience. Dariush completed his 200 hour teacher training and has since pursued multiple advanced trainings to refine his knowledge and teaching. He has taught over 10,000 classes throughout the Twin Cities in both large format and private settings.
As co founder of Studio One, he is passionate about making yoga accessible to everyone. Through humor, humility, and clear guidance, he helps students recognize their own strength and capability from the very first class.
