"This isn't rocket science! And that's what I love about Dawn's framework. It reminds you of that, and that you can do it. Nothing is overly complicated. She gives you exactly what you need to develop your framework. And because she's so passionate about it and has already done it herself, her insights and experience shine thru. She truly wants to help you win!"

“I had the privilege to have Dawn run a Yoga workshop for our organization online during our self-care and wellness day.  There were many new people in the audience who were exposed to Dawn's warm, welcoming style. She is quite personable and makes it all seem easy and practical.  She also is great with basic knowledge regarding each pose and why they matter.  Our group was rejuvenated after our time with her and many did not want the session to end.”

- Danique Dolly of Big Picture Learning

“Daybreak Yoga, LLC founder Ms. Dawn Rivers provided one of the most engaging and uplifting yoga presentations I have experienced thus far.  Not only did she compliment others by adding her essence and natural spirit into the yoga movements she performed with the audience, but she exemplified the importance of self-care to them, as well.  Ms. Rivers was easily embraced by the audience and her presentation left the entire room feeling refreshed and renewed.”

“I had the pleasure of attending a vision board party with Dawn M. Rivers as the presenter.  This presentation was not merely about placing pictures from magazine cutouts to envision what your life should look like, and it was THOUGHT-PROVOKING!  Dawn's presentation came with a workbook, and the workbook allows you to take a real examination of yourself, set goals, and find the real you.  She is knowledgeable, funny, intuitive, and relatable.  I enjoyed that she shared her own journey, and Dawn has you hanging onto her every word because she is engaging and down-to-earth.  I have been to a few vision parties, but nothing has compared to this one, and if you ever get the opportunity to listen to or be a part of a function that involves Dawn, don't miss it.”

“Daybreak Yoga LLC has partnered with Campus International Schools since the summer of 2022. The team has provided yoga and meditation for our elementary and middle school students. The teachers have shared yoga philosophy that matches the school’s International Baccalaureate Programme by giving the students character-building tenets. Daybreak Yoga taught the students mindfulness techniques through meditation and breathing practices. Because our students have various emotional, mental, and physical needs, we were pleased that Daybreak Yoga’s curriculum was diverse and differentiated to accomplish the task.”

As a newbie to Yoga, I was very intimidated and a little nervous about my session. That all changed as soon as I entered Daybreak Yoga Studio. The warmth and the positivity met at the door. The space is decorated pleasantly and smelled amazing. After filling out consent forms, I was offered tea. As a woman of color, I appreciated Dawn’s understanding and patience as I attempted to try new poses. Her voice, tone, and energy were encouraging. She walked around and gently corrected poses as to reduce injury, which I greatly appreciated. She explains why some poses release toxins and others release emotions. This explained why I was crying. I highly recommend experiencing Daybreak Yoga Studio.”

— Kenya Smith

“Dawn is an exceptional yoga teacher and workshop leader.  For our national conference, she introduced participants to the basics of yoga with many variations so EVERY body could enjoy it regardless of their level of ability.  Everyone was able to experience the benefits of yoga and breathing techniques.  We could not have found a better yoga teacher and wellness coach.  She shared tips to improve general health and well-being while allowing our minds and bodies to relax. Thank you Dawn we are so appreciative of your time, wisdom, and expertise! “

“The "Dawn Effect" has helped me personally and professionally. 

She is a great listener and has sound, stern advice. When I talk to Dawn, I know she's going to give it to me straight up, no chaser, and I appreciate that. She says what she means and means what she says. Usually, after a phone conversation, I am able to see from another perspective the Dawn Effect is real!”
