Meet Dani
Dani’s path began through over a decade of practising and teaching Martial Arts, earning her Second Dan Black Belt in Karate. Her journey naturally evolved into guiding others — first through self-defence for women and children, and then into the deeper, more expansive world of yoga and holistic healing.
With a deep respect for the traditional philosophy of yoga, Dani often shares, “Yoga found me.” What began as a personal practice soon became a way of life — one that continues to shape how she moves, teaches and connects.
Her approach is grounded in the belief that yoga is a way of life and is for every body. Free from expectation or comparison, her classes encourage you to move in a way that feels natural, intuitive and supportive of your own experience.
Having navigated her own journey with PTSD, anxiety and depression, Dani discovered the profound healing potential of these practices. This lived experience continues to inform the way she holds space — with compassion, understanding and authenticity.
Alongside her 500-hour yoga teacher training, Dani has completed Yin Yoga Teacher Training in The Functional Approach of Yoga, deepening her understanding of individual anatomy and mindful, meditative practice.
As an Eastern Holistic Therapist, she also integrates modalities including Reiki and Qi Gong, offering a more holistic and balanced approach to wellbeing.
Dani is, above all, a genuine and authentic person with a warm, welcoming nature and a love for life and connecting with others. She believes in the importance of kindness, laughter and simply being yourself. She hopes to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable, accepted and free to be who they are, without feeling the need to fit a particular mould. A place where people can share a smile, make genuine connections, friendships can grow and a beautiful community can naturally unfold.
Her presence is warm, uplifting and down-to-earth. Her classes blend movement, stillness and connection — often woven together with her love of music, sound and voice. Dani hopes to bring sound healing and the therapeutic qualities of the voice into her classes, incorporating elements of vocal expression, sound and vibration to create deeper opportunities for relaxation, connection and self-discovery. Each class is an invitation to experience something beyond the physical practice — grounding the body, quietening the mind and nurturing the soul.
Beyond yoga, Dani is also an Audio Engineer and Musician (singer-songwriter) of over 30 years, having performed internationally. Her creative journey includes providing the lead singing voice of "G" in Gwen Stefani's animated series Kuu Kuu Harajuku, bringing another dimension of creativity and rhythm into all that she shares.
I can't wait to meet each and every one of you and welcome you into our community.
