Danielle first started practicing yoga to complement her intense training regime as an elite athlete. Danielle was a member of the Australian Rowing team, and the NSW and WA state rowing teams for over 7 years. When not playing on the water, practicing or teaching yoga, Danielle is a Doctor working in various states in Australia.
With her combined background in elite sports and medicine, Danielle has a wealth of knowledge to offer in her Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga classes.
Danielle has been fortunate to study Ashtanga yoga in Mysore, India with Pattabhi Jois and Sharath. She has also studied with David Swenson. Danielle is grateful to her first yoga teacher Prahlad at the Yoga Arts Academy who instilled a love of yoga and provided Danielle with a solid grounding in traditional yoga as taught throughout India. Danielle has also studied Anatomy and Physiology for Yoga, as well as private tuition with Simon Borg-Olivier who she counts as one of her great teachers and mentors.
