Danielle Schwartz began her journey to self-love while utilizing yoga and meditation as a tool to achieve sobriety in 2009. Through her work of reclaiming her wild feminism and healing her childhood trauma, she realized the importance of sharing her vulnerabilities with other women. Her dedication to continue her growth and share the marvelously freeing experience of body love, she trained with Anna Guest-Jelley of Curvy Yoga in Nashville, TN. Danielle earned her 200-hour Hatha Yoga teacher certification with a specialization in Curvy Yoga in 2017. She expanded her teaching practice in 2019 with a certification in Yoga and 12 Step Recovery, to be able to better share her experiences in yoga and addiction recovery with her students. In 2020, Danielle went on to earn her 300 hour teaching certification with a focus on Kundalini Yoga and Ayurvedic Healing. In 2021 she completed 100 hour teacher trainings in both Yin Yoga and Meditation. She continues to grow her yogic knowledge through self study in Restorative, Yoga Nidra, and other healing modalities.
Danielle also enjoys an active lifestyle outdoors. Despite living with the limitations of osteoarthritis and Diabetes Type 2, she loves kayaking, SUP yoga, hiking, traveling, and off-roading in her Jeep. Danielle is thrilled to share these activities with other adventurous women in the southwest US on guided therapeutic trips into the wild. She believes part of enjoying and appreciating our bodies is to explore our connection with mother Earth. Having the opportunity to affirm what we CAN do in our bodies, allows us to investigate deeper into our emotions surrounding our capabilities. Danielle believes we all have the power to do hard things. Her mission is to create space for women to find strength in their bodies and flourish in their wild hearts.
