Daniela has been a Hatha and Vinyasa yoga practitioner for 12 years. Four years ago, after being in a yoga retreat in Bali, she reaffirmed that she wanted yoga to be more than just a practice in her life, she wanted it to be her lifestyle; she wanted to inspire and guide others through their practice and journey. Daniela got certified as a yoga instructor in 2019, but she keeps learning and growing everyday as a person and as a teacher. The main element that she brings to her classes is awareness, staying present in what she is doing and staying connected with herself and her students. She offers her students a space to put their worries and stress aside, to enjoy being, and to be present and aware through movement and breath.

Whats your favorite Reggae song? What does it mean to you?

What does nature mean to you? How does it inspire you?
Nature is LIFE. Nature inspires me to be present, grounded and at ease, reminding me to get out of my mind and see the big picture, to enjoy what is happening in front of me. It reminds me to be grateful and appreciate the beauty of being alive.
