Dani (Danielle) is a native Floridian who bounced her way to Italy, NYC, Chicago, and now Los Angeles. She is a traveler's spirit wrapped inside a true homebody. She has a thirst for knowledge -particularly information about the body, the gut, the heart, and the mind. Her own experiences with anxiety, depression, coping with pain and life's challenges, and her naturally inquisitive nature, led her to delve into Yoga while studying Psychology in college. Since, her practice and love for Yoga has only deepened, and continues to every day. After giving birth to her son, Bodhi, Dani's passion for the therapeutic side of Yoga (specifically meditation, Yin, Restorative, Post-Natal and rehabilitative practices) has grown exponentially and she is inspired as ever as she shares what she knows and loves with her classes and clients each week.

Dani's always been a bit quirky, had an odd and referential sense of humor, and very little filter. Growing up with a love of stand-up comedy, sketch, and satire, along with being raised amidst a very sarcastic family, led to Dani becoming a feisty, enthusiastic, and strong woman. She aims to take her work very seriously while towing the fine line of not taking herself seriously. Enter: her sense of humor. Dani grounds herself and lets her students know from the get-go she is merely a work in progress, doing her best, occasionally messing up, but mostly living as a loving, joyful, bold human being who sincerely wants to share what she knows with the world. Her knowledge plays second fiddle to her desire to truly connect with people and help make their lives a little easier. She loves her job, her tribe of close loved ones and animals, hiking and all things outdoors, comedy and entertainment, and food. She loves food. She'll reference food early and often in her classes. She may or may not have a sugar problem. 

Several years ago, a kind student in one of Dani's classes in Sicily told her they admired how she seemed to "eat life." Dani was humbled and delighted by the remark, and has since made it her life's intention to be a full-fledged life eater. She is never not hungry and is so grateful to rise each day with the chance to take a big beautiful bite out of life.
