Testimonials:
“I’ve been practicing yoga for over ten years and have experienced a wide range of practices and teachers ranging from kundalini, to Bikram yoga, visiting different studios when I travel and have attended four Wanderlust “educations” where I’ve practiced with many “gurus” in the yoga world. When I discovered Danielle two years ago I could hardly believe the caliber of teacher and offerings in our home town! I am her biggest fan and have committed to as many classes/week as I can get. She has helped me take my physical practice to a more technically sound, stronger, balanced place (she taught me to finally do a head stand last year!) while deepening my spiritual connection and healing when I’m practicing with her. Her classes are always inspiring, creative, upbeat and deeply healing on multiple levels. She teaches intuitively, honouring all levels in her classes, offering so much for everyone and communicates exceptionally well. She blends yoga expertly with meditation and breath work. Her light and love shine so brightly and pure - even in an online format. Thank you, Danielle, for all your offerings. I am so grateful to have found you!!”

“My experiences in taking Danielle’s classes have been fantastic on so many levels. She provides an inspirational and supportive energy for her students. Her classes provide body and mind strengthening and balancing to meet everyone’s needs. She manages to get you into poses in a way that you have never tried before,.. I call it “back door yoga”! You end up in a pose you have no idea you are going to be doing in great alignment with her amazing cueing! I love that she shakes up her classes all the time. No two classes are exactly the same and her classes give you something to work on all the time. Her extensive yoga knowledge and her enjoyment for teaching are amongst the first things one is aware of when getting on the mat. Her narrative provides information on the core ancient principles of yoga and interesting observations on life. I am very grateful that she has helped me find my love for yoga again. Thank you, Danielle!”

“Danielle is a fantastic teacher and I sure enjoy my classes with her. I love the variety, and spiritual guidance.”
-Bev P, student
“Danielle provides a truly unique and beautiful yoga experience! As to my own background, most of my yoga practice has been based in-studio, and so making the jump to an online format initially took my mind awhile to get around. Those thoughts quickly evaporated as I eased into Danielle‘s amazing online practice. It quickly became apparent that her extensive knowledge of anatomy and kinetics, her natural ability to teach, and her beautiful energy and persona make an online format not only possible, but ideal as a format for her students to learn and progress. Nothing seems rehearsed, cueing is meticulous, and every session is fresh...not an easy feat for classes 7 days a week! The positive energy Danielle projects and the supportive learning environment that she has cultured make for a wholistic, challenging, and fun yoga practice that practitioners of all levels will value. Thx Danielle for all you’ve done for my yoga practice!”
-Jon, student
“Danielle's classes are individually tailored: each is a complete journey, well integrated with it's own rhythm and focus.
I really appreciate her wide and deep knowledge of body mechanics, philosophy and yoga traditions.
I find her cueing super helpful and am always encouraged by her compassion.
Thank you Danielle for what you offer and how you lead!”
-Susanne Z., student
“I have been a Danielle fan since day one when I walked into Vernon yoga 3 years ago. Her attention to your energy, your journey, and your level of yoga is second to none. She is kind, generous, curious, and just a lovely human being, that takes notice of you as a human being. In this fast paced world... that is namaste.”
Shelley, student
“I am so very grateful that Danielle offers her yoga classes virtually and I have deep gratitude to my friend for introducing me to her. I have studied many different forms of yoga from many different teachers for many years. Danielle is a gifted teacher. The way she describes how to move and be in each pose has been eye opening for me. I have taken her frequent reminders to stay where it's comfortable, to heart, and have only been doing the Yin and Restorative classes to work up to the flow classes. This keeps me coming back to the mat as I enjoy the classes rather than dread them. I feel that I have made strides in the short time I've been taking her classes. I'm not often able to do the live classes so it's wonderful to be able to access all the classes Danielle and Kyle have recorded. The restorative classes have become part of my evening routine. I also don't have to the distraction of anxiety from body image issues to worry about when doing yoga in my own home! Thank you, Danielle, for providing my body, mind, and soul with so much goodness!”

“ Danielle's yoga has changed me! I love her entire approach, it has helped me build a much stronger foundation and understanding of my body and mind. I have been doing her online classes and I have also done a small group private class with her that was amazing.”
-Kathy L, student
“I have been practicing with Danielle for 3 months now. She has helped me develop a daily practice that has improved my strength and flexibility. She has taught about breath and presence. Her classes are always different so never boring, and working towards foundation building and body and mind integrity. She builds my confidence through caring step by step processes and excellent cues. I feel like she can see me through the screen. Her words of support and wisdom are exactly what I need to hear. it is quite magical....and through the last 3 months with Covid and isolation I have felt part of a caring community making a difference through our collective consciousness and attention to the present moment.”
-Nadine B, student
“Danielle’s classes are ALWAYS amazing! My usual experience has been in person classes, but have now joined her online classes and they are just as great! She is an encourager and always reminds us to ‘do your best and forget the rest’. I always come away energized and happy. I am so thankful for her! Cant wait for her next class!”
-Kristine Bortucene, student
“Danielle's classes are never ever boring! It is amazing how many new moves and/or combinations she comes up with each class. Plus, Danielle has an incredible talent for describing movement and getting you into poses - you can just close your eyes and follow along, which adds to the overall zen of your practice.”
Michele, student
