Dani is the creator and founder of Heartful Yoga, LLC, integrating yoga and art for creativity, healing, and self-expression. She is a professional artist, textile designer, entrepreneur, potter and yoga educator with an E-RYT 500 (YACEP). Trained in Raja Hatha Yoga, she also holds certifications in Iyengar Yoga Wall 1-2, Trauma-Informed Yoga, Kids Yoga, and Yoga Therapeutics. Her lifetime as an artist has given her a keen eye for form, function, alignment, and the body’s natural intelligence—supporting students in movement, release, and honest self-exploration. She is an embodiment teacher of process.
Dani believes yoga and art should be accessible to people of all body types, identities, and emotional states. She creates a safe, supportive space where everyone can show up as they are. Rooted in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Dani weaves together asana, pranayama (breathwork), meditation, mudras, mantras, and art-based practices—offering practical tools students can return to in everyday life.
Her teaching blends clear alignment, thoughtful pacing, and creative process—so students can build strength, steadiness, and trust in themselves.
As a creative guide, artist, and educator, Dani brings people together in studios, schools, festivals, galleries, and wellness spaces—to move, breathe, and make their marks on the canvas of life.
