Meet your yogi & equine coach
“Dena is a blessing to have in our wellness community. She is welcoming, knowledgable, and thorough. I started classes with Dena because I know her passion for the care of the body, her life philosophy, and her own lifestyle which is a testament to what she wants to share with her clients in each yoga experience. I leave her classes feeling balanced and strong.”
