Danielle Richardson - Lead Instructor
INTERDISCIPLINARY YOGA INSTRUCTOR, ECOPSYCHOLOGIST AND STRESS-MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT
After taking her first yoga class in 1987, Danielle was thoroughly impressed by the profound effect just one class had on her posture. Her posture felt unusually effortless and lifted the very next day. Since then yoga has become a lifelong passion. Danielle began practicing yoga with the intention of healing herself both physically and emotionally, and through self inquiry developed an understanding of how the body, mind, and breath work together to enhance well being. Her intention to teach yoga grew from her desire to teach others about this valuable and unlimited healing resource. She believes that yoga is one of the most rewarding and empowering gifts one can give to one's self.
Danielle's eclectic teaching style encompasses her life experiences and is firmly rooted in the Iyengar Yoga tradition. After a four year apprenticeship with Iyengar yoga super-genius Mitra Treadway, she obtained her certification as an interdisciplinary yoga teacher in 2005 from the Nosara Yoga institute in Costa Rica. She is also a Certified Shiatsu Therapist and has been practicing the art of Shiatsu massage since 1995. She received the Shiatsu Therapist Certificate from Harbin School of Shiatsu and Massage in 2005. Danielle completed her 500 hr yoga teaching certification from Janet Stone School of Yoga in 2019.
