Dmitria Burby
Yoga therapist, author, and teacher. Lake Oswego, Oregon.
At the Intersection of Practice and Precision
Dmitria Burby is a yoga therapist whose work sits at the intersection of nervous system regulation, yoga psychology, and applied practice.
She helps people understand the internal patterns that shape their experience and offers practical ways to shift those patterns through embodied, structured work. Her approach integrates classical yogic frameworks with modern insights in physiology and psychology, translated into language and practices that can be lived, not just understood intellectually.
Dmitria's path into this work was not theoretical. It came through her own journey, one that took her from a successful career as a corporate executive through a process of awakening, reconnection, and the gradual discovery of what genuine inner stability actually requires.
From that personal experience, she developed a structured approach to inner work, one grounded in yogic philosophy, neuroscience, and the practical realities of how human beings actually change. That framework is the foundation of The Architecture of Inner Stability — her most comprehensive work and the clearest entry point into this body of knowledge. If you are ready to understand yourself more precisely and build something that actually holds, that is where to begin.
She holds an E-RYT 500 through Yoga Alliance and is a certified yoga therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) with 800 hours of training.
Dmitria teaches group yoga classes in person and online through Imagine Yoga Studio, and works with private clients online worldwide. She is based in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
How the Work Is Structured
Classical Foundation
Dmitria's work is rooted in classical yogic philosophy: the koshas, samskāras, the nature of the mind and prana, translated into contemporary language and applied in a modern context.
Modern Understanding
The classical teachings are integrated with contemporary understanding in neuroscience and psychophysiology, particularly around nervous system function, regulation, and the somatic dimensions of conditioning.
Applied Practice
All of this is made practical. The work always moves toward application, toward practices that can be taken into daily life and used to build something that actually holds.
Structural Change
The goal is not coping or management. It is the actual restructuring of internal patterns: the samskāras that drive reactivity, depletion, and fragmentation, so that change is deep rather than surface-level.
