Danielle Fowler, M.A., E-RYT500
Danielle is the founding director and lead instructor of True Nature School of Yoga, where she blends her passion for teaching and learning to encourage in-depth study and practice of Yoga. Since 2001, she has taught in various settings including yoga studios, corporations, non-profit organizations, and schools. She has been the co-owner of two studios, Yoga Vista (2005-2009) and Yoga Oceanside (2010 to 2019). Danielle’s unique teaching style is inspired by her extensive training with renowned Yoga centers such as Mount Madonna and the Himalayan Institute, guided by masterful teachers such as Donna Farhi, Judith Hanson Lasater, Nischala Joy Devi, Erich Schiffmann, and Rolf Sovik.
Her classes, workshops, trainings, and retreats are accessible for all abilities and emphasize an embodied experience of the rich philosophy and psychology rooted in ancient traditions. Her pilgrimages to India have embedded her in a spiritual lineage of the traditions, which shines through in her sincere approach to sharing Yoga with others.
Leading transformational retreats and facilitating group circles for over 2 decades, Danielle's approach to guiding others is based on the premise that whatever you seek is possible through awakening qualities that already exist within you.
Danielle graduated with a Master of Arts Degree in Yoga Studies from Loyola Marymount University in May 2015. She is also attuned as a Reiki Master and enjoys tapping into energy as a source for personal healing and spiritual growth.
When she's not teaching, you will find her in the kitchen preparing plant-based meals, volunteering for Voices for Children as a CASA, reading, or tending to her personal practice.

"The True Nature YTT program completely changed my life. It deepened my physical practice but more importantly my spiritual practice. Yoga used to be just a thing I did for 30-45 minutes a day, now it's the way I live. The program taught me how to feel more confident in my body and in my knowledge of Yoga. As a result I feel ready to teach."

Learning the Yoga Sutras has given me new tools to meet the challenges of my everyday life. It has also brought me a new appreciation of my own faith. Being a part of this program has taught me to look at life through new eyes. My yoga practice has now gone beyond just the asanas. I had such a great time being a part of this program. I am sad to see it end, but also excited to get started on my new venture into sharing yoga with others. The highlight of the program was relationships I developed with my fellow students. These ladies will be in my heart forever and my friends for life. I feel so very well prepared and ready to teach yoga. Danielle provided a well-rounded program that covered all aspects of the yoga tradition. I am ready to share my knowledge of yoga with others with confidence.”

Though my abilities may not be where I want them to be, I am still very capable of teaching yoga. The program encouraged me to push through my doubts and I know now that I can do this! Yoga is a part of me. And, the flexibility of a hybrid format is so valuable. I would definitely do a hybrid class again."
