My ethos is based on helping students to “Feel, Explore & Connect With their Body.” I also mentor teachers and instructors to activate their voice, build their brand and amplify their impact.

Hi, I’m Danielle,

A London-based Registered & Certified Yoga Teacher, and Pilates Instructor. I discovered yoga and mat pilates in 2014, simply because I wanted to experience something different from the usual hardcore workout classes such as power pump, step and aerobics. As I looked at different classes, yoga and mat pilates stood out to me. However, yoga was the one that stood out to me the most at that time.

The thing is, finding the right yoga teacher wasn’t easy. There was the performative yoga teacher who didn’t give a damn about the students in front of her and was more concerned about doing fancy poses that were not suitable for all levels. Then there was the loud yoga teacher who yelled out different poses and embarrassed me at one point by saying my down dog was a little dog and needed to be a big dog! Students gather round equally as embarrassed and let’s just say it was a mess.

Then there was the calm spirited yoga teacher. The one who was self-assured, who walked around the class instead of staying on her mat. The one who didn’t call out anyone specifically – no one was more special than the next person.

She was the yoga teacher who made me feel at ease and confident in my practice because I wasn’t made to feel that I was bad at yoga because my lines were off or because I couldn’t get into a certain pose. The confidence I felt is what allowed me to fall in love with yoga and the ability of my practice to transcend across the mind, body, and spirit. Those are just some of the contributing factors as to why I decided to become a yoga teacher, and I still consider myself a student as there is always something new to learn.

I have bundles of respect for the ancient and effective practice that has transformed the perspectives, outlooks, and bodies of countless cultures. Yoga is not about perfection, or twisting and moulding your body into the shape of a pretzel (ignore the Insta and TikTok s**t). It’s about connecting with your mind, body and soul through poses (asanas), and your breath leading to feeling connected with who you are and creating a sense of confidence that doesn’t just stay on the mat. It embeds and weaves itself within you as you go through your day to day life. Pilates is about connecting with your mind and body, and moving with precision and control, building strength throughout your entire body.
