Private Yoga
Danielle offers customized yoga sessions both in-person and online to address your specific needs. From managing chronic pain and stress to addressing postural concerns and more, 1:1 yoga sessions give you the opportunity to learn more about your body and gives you concrete tools to feel and move better.
Many of our chronic injuries come from how we repeatedly use our bodies. A static posture or repetitive movement can leave certain muscles overexerted and underused, while other muscles are overextended and cranky. With thoughtful assessment of your work and life patterns, coupled with range of motion and postural assessments, Danielle can work with you to rewire your patterns through targeted strengthening, stretching, and myofascial release. During her customized private yoga classes, you'll improve posture, decrease chronic pain, and improve mobility and efficiency.
In addition to postural and movement-focused work, Danielle can help you address stress, fatigue, and burnout and how our nervous system impacts our experiences in our body and daily lives.

What to Expect
Initial Phone Consult
Not sure if private yoga is right for you? The easiest first step is to schedule a 15 minute phone call with Danielle to discuss what you’re looking for and to determine if private yoga is the right fit for you.
Intake + Postural Analysis
The first meeting will usually consist of a verbal intake and postural and range of motion assessments. Danielle will ask you about your injury and body history (work, sports, hobbies, past injuries, etc). She will take time to assess your posture, passive and active range of motion and maybe even take a look at your gait cycle.
Session
If you are used to a public yoga class, a private yoga session can often feel quite different, especially if you’re seeking one:one yoga for more therapeutic benefits. There may be less “flow” to the session and it will often be more focused on what you are needing to work on, with targeted stretching/MFR, body awareness exercises, core and strength training depending on what your body specifically needs that session.
For best results, Danielle may recommend a little bit of homework! Usually just a simple pose or exercise or MFR spot for you to work with on your own for 5-10 minutes each day between sessions. This can make a big difference in creating lasting results from your 1:1 work.

“As a die-hard athlete dealing with crippling back pain, Danielle has been an absolute lifesaver! Over the past 3 years I’ve worked with every type of medical, physical and psychological specialist there is, and Danielle’s detailed knowledge of yoga, anatomy and biomechanics, myofascial release, breathing and relaxation, and overall function and mobility is as impressive as any of them. I work with her privately a minimum of 3 days per week, and she has an incredible ability to use her multidisciplinary expertise to customize every session, seemingly down to each individual muscle fiber. She is consistently able to identify and solve complex issues, and has brought me back to athletic performance levels that seemed completely impossible 6 months ago. Words cannot describe how appreciative I am of everything she has done for me, and how impressed I am with her expertise.”
