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). 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.
