Dani’s journey with movement began in the dance studio, where years of ballet nurtured her love for rhythm, embodiment, and mindful awareness. Her lifelong passion for health and wellness has carried her through many forms of physical exploration—weightlifting, mountain biking, backpacking, hiking, and, of course, yoga. Over time, her yoga practice has shifted from a purely physical outlet to a deeply grounding source of clarity, connection, and inner steadiness.

In 2022, Dani moved from the West Coast to Western North Carolina and quickly discovered the Wild Lotus Yoga community. She instantly felt at home. This past year, she had the joy of studying alongside Tish and Thr33 in the 2025 Yoga Freedom Journey, completing her 200-hour teacher training through six months devoted to the art of practice and six months immersed in the art of teaching.

Dani teaches with warmth, kindness, and a genuinely welcoming presence. Her classes encourage students to move with intention, build strength, and slow down enough to feel what lies beneath the surface—all while cultivating a sense of connection and community.
