About Danielle

Danielle Parker came to yoga via meditation. As an undergraduate, she decided to get an "easy A" by taking a course titled Meditation in Indian Culture. While she did not get an A, she did become hooked on meditation. More than a decade later, after kids and jobs and way too much Real Life, she came across yoga as she attempted to rediscover her meditation practice. She was amazed at the connection between body and breathe and the corresponding effect it had on her mind.

Danielle is trained in the lineage of Swami Satchidananda. When teaching, she focuses on correct alignment in order to enjoy yoga and to prevent injuries. Having trained in a variety of yoga styles, her classes include mindful vinyasa (flow) coupled with various other techniques, from yin yoga to gentle somatic yoga with the ultimate goal being mind-body-soul connection.

Expect to move. Expect to breathe. Expect to smile.

  • Choice

    Danielle feels it is imperative for students to learn how to listen to their bodies and to choose poses that will serve them on any given day. Choice is an essential for both personal empowerment and injury prevention. To that end, she always provides options and is open to students asking questions at any time.

  • Curiosity

    Danielle is a lifelong learner! She is constantly reading, listening, and engaging in conversations that will enhance her understanding of poses, anatomy, and philosophy. She is quick to share all of these things during classes so that all of her students continue to grow in physical, emotional/mental, and spiritual ways.

  • Humor

    As David Swenson says, don't make an asana of yourself! We are here to move the body, enhance our energy, and expand our minds. Let's do so with a sense of humor! Leaving ego at the door, Danielle is intent on looking forward to every single class and connecting with all of her students with joy and authenticity.
