Dilnoza Patlan
Come as you are. No prior experience needed.
Dilnoza is a yoga and meditation teacher, emotional intelligence practitioner, and co-founder of Willow Collective. She has spent her life navigating different worlds, literally and figuratively.
About Dilnoza
As a first-generation immigrant, corporate leader, woman in finance, yoga teacher, and meditation guide, she has had to learn how to show up fully and authentically in all of them. She honors every version of those rooms and everyone in them. That’s what allows her to connect with people deeply, wherever they are on their journey.
Dilnoza teaches Wisdom Body and Movement Meditation, a practice for people who find traditional stillness too jarring or too far from where they are. Her classes use somatic awareness and mindful movement as the entry point into meditation.
Dilnoza’s offerings
Meditation & Gentle Yoga
Somatic awareness and mindful movement as the way in to meditation.
Why Willow Grove?
“For years I thought of my body as something working against me. Aches and pains were inconveniences to push through instead of messages to hear. Learning to listen changed everything. I now understand that all of it, even the hard parts, is working in our favor. Our journey back to ourselves has to include the body. That’s what I’m teaching, and it’s what I’m still living.”
