Danielle has worked in the public school system for twenty-four years. A deep love for children and a passion for fostering their self-growth has always been central to who she is. With a Dual Bachelor’s Degree in Education and Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Art Therapy, Danielle has consistently developed and contributed to school programs that promote positive self-esteem and meaningful relationships.
In May 2013, Danielle discovered the Yoga Rocks Program and became a Certified Yoga Rocks Kids Teacher (C-YRKT). She now incorporates stretching and breathing techniques in her classroom to increase stamina and encourage healthy living. She believes strongly that yoga helps children process emotions and become strong, centered individuals. Her personal journey with yoga has been transformative, and she is passionate about creating a safe, creative, and fun space where children can embark on their own yoga journeys.
In February 2015, Danielle earned her 200-hour Yoga Alliance Ashtanga/Vinyasa Teacher Certification from Yoga Yama and also completed training with the Sayville Hot Yoga (SHY) staff to teach Beginner’s Hot Yoga classes. Danielle has also earned a chair yoga program certificate.
She recognizes the increasing pressure on students to meet academic standards and understands the resulting stress placed on children of all ages. Danielle advocates for the integration of mindfulness and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into the classroom as a way to meet the demands of the 21st century. She believes that mindfulness deepens student understanding, promotes emotional intelligence, improves behavior, and supports healthy development.
Danielle sees mindfulness and yoga as essential tools for helping students become more aware of their thoughts, emotions, and actions. She believes that when students are taught to be mindful, they are better equipped to show empathy, make responsible decisions, and form positive relationships within the school community. Through mindfulness and SEL, Danielle works to cultivate a more culturally responsive, compassionate, and reflective learning environment—one that aligns with a supportive, respectful, and nurturing educational experience.
Danielle is always excited to share yoga and mindfulness with the broader community and feels honored to assist others on their journeys.
