The True Nature Wish

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). 

Leading transformational retreats and facilitating group circles for over 2 decades, Danielle's approach to guiding others is based on the premise that with consistent practice and dedicated study we all have the capacity to heal from trauma, to navigate transition with ease and awaken heart centered qualities bringing more peace to the world. Bringing seekers together and creating supportive community is at the heart of her work.

Danielle's 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.

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.
