Hi, I'm Danielle

I’m a yoga teacher based in Bristol, offering private classes, group sessions, corporate yoga, yoga for children, and seasonal workshops.

My teaching blends Hatha Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative yoga, meditation and breathwork, with a gentle interest in astrology, Ayurveda and the natural rhythms of the seasons. My classes can be slow and grounding, strong and flowing, or deeply restful, depending on the group, the time of year and what people need that day.

My Yoga Journey

I completed my 250-hour yoga teacher training with Caribe Yoga Academy in Costa Rica in 2022. The training was rooted in Hatha Vinyasa and included functional anatomy, yoga philosophy, mythology, Ayurveda, yoga history and trauma-informed teaching.

Since then, I’ve taught in a wide range of settings, from surf lodges and retreat spaces in Central America to studios, schools, community spaces, workplaces and outdoor classes in Bristol. I’ve taught yoga for surfers in Nicaragua, spiritual classes and workshops in Guatemala, children’s yoga in Bristol, regular adult classes, corporate wellbeing sessions and private one-to-one classes.

What I Offer

I care about making yoga feel welcoming, spacious and real. You don’t need to be flexible, experienced or “good” at yoga to come to class. My aim is to create a space where you can move, breathe, soften, build confidence in your body and leave feeling a little more connected to yourself.

Beyond the Mat

Alongside yoga, I’m also the founder of Soulful Skate Co., a Bristol-based skate school specialising in longboarding and surfskating. Yoga and skating might seem like separate worlds, but for me they both come back to the same things: balance, presence, courage, playfulness and learning to trust your body.

I now bring these worlds together through yoga for skaters, retreats, workshops and events, as well as more traditional yoga classes for people who simply want to move, rest and reconnect.
