Denelle Johnson

Instructor

Align Yoga and Strength

Denelle came to yoga in her twenties when she realized she wasn’t as flexible as she used to be.  Over the years, she has been on and off her mat as life has gotten in the way, but she committed to getting on her mat regularly when she began caring for her parents.  Motivated by the physical manifestations of the stress that being a caregiver brought and the belief that she can avoid the physical limitations that her parents have experienced by moving her body, Denelle started practicing consistently. As a high school teacher, Denelle knows all about taking deep breaths and trying to balance all the things, so her classes focus on functional movement, savoring the moments when it all comes together, and being kind to yourself.  A self-described tree hugger, Denelle can talk all day long about the environment, reads for pleasure whenever she has a chance, and gets lost in the meditative qualities of knitting.
