## Philosophy

De's approach is built on three pillars:
1. **Honor Your Body** — movement adapted to your current physical reality, not a one-size-fits-all sequence
2. **Therapeutic Foundation** — every class draws from clinical yoga therapy principles; safe for people managing chronic conditions
3. **Gentle Transformation** — progress without injury; the body responds to consistent, kind movement over time
