Inspiring Actions LLC

Every once and a while, it seems, employers will absolutely hit it out of the park. Denisehappened to work for one that opened a fitness center…JACKPOT! On-site classes atwork provided her introduction to yoga, and years of a steady practice later, she tookadvantage of retirement and completed a yoga teacher training program. Deniseteaches our Karma Gentle Yoga class at Inspiring Actions, and students will notice thatshe loves to explore multiple limbs of yoga in each class. Not only does Denise guidegentle postures (asana), but she routinely integrates focused breathing (pranayama),and meditation (dhyana) into the practice. But it doesn’t stop in the studio! Denise is abeliever in taking those same breathing principles we learn on the mat out into oureveryday lives—for her, it comes with animal training, snowshoeing, golf, and kayaking—so don’t be shy about asking if you’re curious what kind of breathwork could supportyour activities. Related Certifications:235-hour RYT certification, Devanadi Yoga, Minneapolis, MNTrauma-Informed Yoga, Yoga VidyaElemental Meditation, Yoga Vidya
