Yoga Therapy Minneapolis - Twelve Petals Wellness

Danielle originally came to yoga seeking a way to reduce chronic sciatic pain. When she realized all that yoga had to offer, she realized there was no turning back and began to explore a new life path.

Danielle has had the opportunity to study with many amazing teachers along her yogic path. Just a few of them are Tanya Boigenzahn Sowards, Rod Stryker, Dharma Mittra, Judith Lasater and Joseph Le Page. Danielle received her 200-hour certification from the Yoga Center of Minneapolis. She received an additional 200-hour certification through Devanadi Yoga with Tanya Sowards in the ParaYoga inspired tradition.

She studied Integrative Yoga Therapy at The Kripalu Institute with Joseph Le Page, Lilian Le Page, Maria Kalima and Cathy Prescott to earn certification as a Professional Yoga Therapist. She has received her 500-hour certification in Integrative Yoga Therapy. She has also completed her 1000-hour level certification in Integrative Yoga Therapy earning the Professional Yoga Therapist 1000 designation. Danielle has continued her training in yoga therapy earning certification in Functional Yoga Therapy with Maria Kalima.

Additionally Danielle is certified to work with veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) through the Yoga Warriors program.

Ayurveda has been a strong component in all of Danielle's education. This sister science to yoga has become a part of her lifestyle and a significant influence in her approach to yoga therapy. She also has extensive training with Joseph and Lilian Le Page in pranayama (breath work) and mudras (gestures of the hands to direct energy for healing and transformation). Mudras have become a staple in her daily meditation practice and in her teaching.

Danielle has a private Integrative Yoga Therapy practice working one on one with people with a wide variety of chronic health conditions. She sees clients out of her home in Longfellow - Minneapolis as well as Devanadi Yoga wellness space.

Her teaching is greatly influenced by her Integrative Yoga Therapy training. Her style includes the teachings of Hatha, Tantra and Ayurveda as well as the knowledge she has gained in her personal practice and healing journey. She likes to encourage her students to go inward in their practice whether they are in a standing pose or savasana. She gets excited by the new awarenesses her students and private clients have week after week and is honored to help guide them on the path to healing.

Danielle is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists and the Yoga Alliance.
