DILLAN HARRIS
Dillan Harris was dared by her mother to take a Bikram class at the ripe, angsty age of 13 – neither of them realized this would be the beginning of a practice that has enriched every area of her life ever since. She has been teaching now for about 10 years, after being certified at a little studio in Katy, TX called Yoga West, and then later completing Level 1 Training with Baron Baptiste in 2014. Her practice is based in flow, finding power in every pose, every breath, and creating whatever medicine you seek on the mat.
After practicing and teaching in every city she lived in, she built up the guts and gusto to move out to Cali, where she discovered she could fly. She jokes that she was born during her first aerial silks improv dance, but it’s really not far from the truth. This fabric has changed her life, and now she can barely keep her feet on the ground. Last year she even traveled Europe with her silks in tow, practicing, performing and even teaching a workshop wherever she could find a sturdy place to rig – including Slovakia, Poland, Germany, Hungary, and Austria. After completing Paper Doll Militia’s Level 1 Teacher Training in Oakland this year, she wants to share her love of silks with the world, to remind us that there is enough magic in this world and in our bodies that we can fly.
