Dani Affleck

With over a decade of personal practice and eight years of teaching experience, I offer a holistic and compassionate approach to yoga that meets each person where they are. My work is grounded in the belief that yoga is not just a physical practice, but a pathway to reconnecting with oneself—body, mind, and spirit. It’s through strengthening our connection to ourself first, that we can then deepen into connection with others and improve the quality of our relationships, and the quality of our life.

I hold a 500-hour Vinyasa certification, a 300-hour training in Yoga Therapy, and have completed over 150 hours of study focused on mental health. My approach is shaped not only by formal training, but also by my own lived experience navigating anxiety, depression, and complex PTSD. Yoga has been instrumental in helping me regulate and strengthen my nervous system, and it’s this embodied understanding that informs the way I teach.

I have experience teaching yoga in schools, palliative care, mental health centres, and correctional facilities. I am passionate about working with individuals who are navigating significant life challenges—whether emotional, physical, or existential, and those who may be overlooked or underserved by traditional systems. Through therapeutic yoga practices I hope to support individuals in vulnerable or transitional stages of life—helping them reconnect to themselves with compassion, dignity, and presence.

Whether working one-on-one, with small groups, or in corporate settings, I centre the individual—honouring their unique needs, goals, and experiences. I integrate yoga philosophy into my teaching to gently guide students toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and inner balance—supporting a return to a felt sense of wholeness and connection within themselves.

My classes are spaces of safety and support, where the focus is not on performance, but on presence, compassion, and sustainable healing.
