I went into the weekend with the intention of “surrender” and I found myself doing this throughout your retreat. Surrendering into the yoga pose, surrendering into the meditation. Not worrying about who I would sit beside - just allowing it all to evolve. You created an energy that made it easy to surrender. From how you planned the agenda to how you created a calm, friendly and safe space among a group of women who were, up until that weekend, complete strangers. You seemed to read our minds with how you planned for higher energy activities at the start of the weekend (this reflected our busy minds) and then gently moved this to slower more reflective practises as you slowed our busy minds down. It just was all so perfect. Thank you for showing me that “doing nothing” can actually do so much more than all that busyness that has become my habit. I will be back, of that I have no doubt.
Pia
Amorgos Retreat; The whole week was just perfect. I loved every minute of it. I loved the pace of each day starting with the more demanding stretching yoga and then the evening restorative yoga. I didn’t feel overwhelmed or bored as each day was different but chilled and interesting. I liked that I could opt out of a yoga session or a night out, without feeling that I was letting anybody down. There was no pressure which is a rarity in this day and age. Loved getting to know you and the rest of the gang, would love to go again!!!!
Eva Murphy
The facilities at The Deerstone were top class but the experience was even more so. The yoga itself was exactly the right combination of challenging but nourishing to the body, and the addition of breathwork, meditation, and interesting conversations over delicious food was just the best weekend I could have hoped for for my mom's 70th birthday. You yourself are such a gifted instructor -- I really felt an improvement in my sense of my body thanks to some of the work. Plus, my mother and I found the closing forehead massages so soothing, we're still talking about them! Thank you so much for such a lovely and enriching experience.
Rachel
A lovely balance of yoga, meditation and good reflection. Dani makes you thankful for your body so came away with less self critism. Time- with friends - for myself and my head - to stretch and release my body - to reflect on what's important
Clare
Dani's skill set and welath of experience is out of this world, what she brings to the mat and the room is life changing. I got answers I sought before attending and feel ready to take action. Thank you so much Dani for creating this amazing space.
Clara
I absolutely loved this retreat weekend. This was my first retreat and I feel like I'm returning home to my family with a full cup. It's only when you are given the space & permission to relax that you realise the stress, anxiety and "noise" you are holding in your body. Thank you Dani for a wonderful restorative weekend.
Julie Ann
Dani thank you for a very relaxing retreat. You hold the room, listen to the students and have a beautiful guiding voice. January is a wonderful time of year to retreat. Sessions were beautiful planned. Thank you and I'm looking forward to next year.
Celine
Two days away from the world to mind myslef and be guided by Dani to a deeper understanding of myself. A complete treat to all the senses surrounded by lovely people
Ciara
Dani is so professional and knowledgeable. SHe really made sure I was welcomed as a single person on my own & that I was introduced to everyone else. It was my first time doing yoga but she made sure I learned positions an there was no pressure to do more than I was capable of. I'd highly recommend Dani's retreat whether an experienced or newbie student.
Angela
A fantastic weekend in every way. Dani is a great yoga instructor, very experienced but most of all her personality shines in everyway - I came on my own and felt I had 20 friends straight away. Dani makes a connection with each person instantly. A very relaxing weekend and I am looking forward to my next one already Thanks
Louise
January womens wellness retreat; "This is a very special weekend, especially in January. A lot of us give so much to others we forget about ourselves. I came with my bucket empty and now its full for me"
Val
“I loved Dani’s yoga retreat. It surpassed all my expectations. It attended to body and soul and was held in such a safe space by Dani , both physically and emotionally . There was a lot of sharing , laughing and learning ..alongside the yoga practices !! Dani is an excellent yoga teacher .. and she has reintroduced me to the daily and long term benefits of yoga.”
Sue
“ Dani’s retreat gave me complete acceptance of “me”. I love how unintrusive you are Dani, yet still very aware of everyone and their vulnerabilities. Dani is a beautiful gentle person with a huge strength of character. An unforgettable experience”
Louise
“Even as a complete novice it was clear that Dani has a unique gift in teaching yoga and meditation. By paying attention to each person at their individual level she really encouraged improvement. Dani radiates positivity, calm and is extremely empowering with the poetry she read and the pieces she spoke about. From start to finish the retreat was well organised with communication at every stage. Fondest of memories.”
Christina
“Dani there are no words to thank you for hands down one of the best weeks of my life. I loved every second of it. You created a space for women to find their strength and be proud of it, each and every one of us came with something but left with so much more. The fun the laughter the joy I will never forget. As a newbie to Yoga I loved the feeling of calmness that I got from the practice and I will definitely make the time to continue with that. You are the kindest coolest most inspirational chick that I know”
Ger
Every detail from start to finish was superbly organised and I really appreciate it all. You made our lives so easy for the week that we didn't even need to think - my brain literally switched off which was amazing. Yoga practices were just divine and I can still sense the glow within both when we practiced in the studio and also the sunset practice which was extra special.
Thank you Cathy
I signed up for a couple of weeks ago and find this option amazing. As Dani says, you can do a short or a longer one. I think its absolutely amazing value and highly HIGHLY recommend it.
Fionnula
For me it has been a lifesaver to be able to access online Yoga with Dani. The library of classes are so diverse there is a class for everyone whether you are a beginner or an experienced yoga practitioner. It gives me the flexibility to do my Yoga when it suits me, to log on anywhere and practice my Yoga and the added bonus to listen to Dani’s voice leading the practice it is just like been in one of her in person classes. There are practices online that are for 20 or 30 minutes and there is such variety focussing on class levels, areas of the body and varying lengths of classes. Another valuable offering from Dani is the availability of meditation practices which I find invaluable when you need that time to ground yourself. For me the online offering is great value and a valuable tool to have at one’s disposal.
Fiona
I've been a member of Dani's yoga membership since it started. I love the flexibility it offers me, I can do classes whenever I'm able to, it fits in with my schedule from 10 minute classes to an hour class. I use it at least twice a week. Dani is a great teacher she gives great instruction on how to get into and out of each pose and the correct alignment. I would recommend this platform for yogi's new and experienced.
Yvonne
It was an amazing and unforgettable week. Dani's wonderful caring, attentive, fun approach made this a truly exceptional experience and exceeded my expectations. She created the perfect Yoga retreat - every day was filled with morning & evening practice - additional workshops were laid on for those of us who needed a little attention at the start. Dani's teaching style is fab; patient, empathetic, fun and enthusiastic. There were so many highlights, the friendships, the exceptional location, the sunset yoga session, the island itself. Thank you Dani for an unforgettable experience, I will treasure it
Sheila
As a yoga teacher and long time practitioner, I took a leap of faith going on Dani’s yoga holiday to Amorgos. I was nervous for so many reasons (not knowing anyone, would I like the yoga etc) but that was misspent energy because it was one of the BEST trips ever. Dani is a true professional but also so warm, kind, patient, and compassionate. She lead us through beautiful practices, shared her knowledge, and guided into a place where we could curate the week to what we truly needed. I would highly recommend her retreats and classes, Dani is a rare find, a true yogi.
Aoife
Good morning Dani. I have been doing some self love treatment all week and found your yoga class about loveing yourself/ self compassion/ Ho-oponopono really helpful. Thank You
Susie
As a first timer to a Yoga Retreat with no expectations, I have definitely been missing out all my life. Back at my desk I am feeling calm, relaxed and invigorated, albeit a tad sore having stretched muscles that have been ignored for far too long. I also couldn’t have asked to meet a nicer group of people who brought as much to the weekend as the Yoga did, along with lots of belly laughs. Will definitely be doing more Yoga Retreats in the future.
Leslie
Dani's patience, guidance, encouragement and calm aura were a pleasure to be around. She is a very special person who can tap into people's needs and abilities. I was feeling lost, lacking in confidence and very apprehensive about the weekend but it's undoubtedly one of the BEST things I have ever done for ME !! Thank you, thank you thank you.
Katherine
I loved this weekend in Brooklodge and love Dani's delivery of the yoga poses and her way in general. She shares so much knowledge which helps to understand the benefits of yoga and meditation. She recites poetry at the end of her classes which I love and also does short head massages which is a lovely touch. I find the yoga challenging which is good for me. I loved spending time with my friends and also other likeminded people. The woodland setting was beautiful where the retreat was held.
Val
I had never been to a yoga retreat before and now I cant wait for the next one! A perfect balance. Dani is an amazing and caring teacher. Will recommend it to everyone!
Inese
This weekend was pure soul food on so many levels: yoga practices and meditations, venue, group and connections made. It was so relaxing and yet so nourishing. Dani is such a wonderful teacher and guide, so competent and intuitive, opening minds and bodies in her unique caring and compassionate way
Brigid
Such an fantastic weekend, spending time with some inspirational women and learning how to look inward and reduce stress. I've come back feeling revived and uplifted. Looking forward to the next one!
Celine
I wish the weekend was ahead of us again and I had all the wonderful things and people to look forward to. It was absolutely brilliant, I enjoyed it so much. The light had gone out inside me and thanks to you and your practices I think it has begun to shine again, in a small but really significant way. A million thank yous. See you on one of your yoga days !
Katherine
Firstly, thanks a MILLION for all the planning, organising and hard work that you put into our Yoga Holiday - it was definitely a holiday and not a retreat - I say a 'real-TREAT'!!!. Every detail from start to finish was superbly organised and I really appreciate it all. You made our lives so easy for the week that we didn't even need to think - my brain literally switched off which was amazing. Yoga practices were just divine and I can still sense the glow within both when we practiced in the studio and also the sunset practice which was extra special. Thank you
Cathy
Hey Dani what can I say. There are no words to thank you for hands down one of the best weeks of my life. I loved every second of it. You created a space for women to find their strength and be proud of it, each and every one of us came with something but left with so much more. The fun the laughter the joy I will never forget. As a newbie to Yoga I loved the feeling of calmness that I got from the practice and I will definitely make the time to continue with that. You are the kindest coolest most inspirational chick that I know and no one could have made that happen but you. Thank you
Ger
Even as a complete mindfulness novice it was clear that Dani has a unique gift in teaching yoga and meditation. By paying attention to each person at their individual level she really encouraged improvement. Dani radiates positivity, calm and is extremely empowering with the poetry she read and the pieces she spoke about. From start to finish the retreat was well organised with communication at every stage. No query was too much and she was very approachable. As for the group, what a fabulous bunch of ladies-great fun, free flowing laughter and fondest of memories.
Christina
It was the best most spectacular invigorating and exhilarating yoga trip I have ever experienced. I love the yoga, mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing techniques and exercises. Dani was excellent at teaching, guiding and talking us through all these. I loved the balance between yoga and meditation etc and the downtime. I laughed until I cried at times, I loved the bond created between all 14 women who connected and shared and laughed, showed kindness and compassion. I found inner peace which was my intention for the week. Dani is a wonderful, warm and inspiring Yoga teacher. You are beautiful inside and out and have a gift for what you do adding poetry extracts, lavender massages and being attentive to our needs all the time. I loved every minute of this trip and am so grateful for you. Much love and light
Valerie
My first time to go on a yoga holiday. So didn’t really have any expectations. Has the best time ever, beyond my wildest dreams. Friendship, fun, joy laughter, time out, “me time”, bonding. Really unbelievable. I have no more words to really say how much I got out of this trip. From beginning to end it was magical. I wasn’t looking to be fixed or find myself. I was looking of for time out for me, little bit of pampering and the joy of yoga in person again. You are wonderful Dani and you gave everyone a wonderful time. A trip I will honestly never forget. Namaste
Pamela
I have used Dani both personally and professionally. From a professional perspective we have used her in Stripe partnering with us on her mindfulness programs. The team's feedback has been incredible with folks finding her techniques simple to follow yet impactful on their day to day. I have used Dani in a personal capacity also as a coach . She is a wonderful listener, highly pragmatic. She identifies quickly to support areas of development and also builds a plan that makes it practical and easy to follow. I am so grateful to have worked with her during a challenging period in this pandemic but also for her support to the team as a whole.
Lizzy Doyle; STRIPE
I would highly recommend this program and especially during these unpredictable times - the two hours Saturday morning was 'Chicken Soup for the Soul'
Donna
The Irish Hospitality Institute invited Dani to participate in our Mental Health & Wellness Series. Coivd-19 has had a devastating effect on our industry professionals with high levels of stress and anxiety. Dani provided a motivational class on resilience for wellbeing identifying how to cope with stress, anxiety and dealing with the impact of trauma on our mind and body. We are very grateful to Dani for sharing her knowledge and equipping us with skills to identify triggers and how best to take care of ourselves. I would highly recommend Dani to any company or individual. Our sincere thanks and we look forward very much to working with Dani again in the future.
Tina Maree - www.ihi.ie
I Recently did Dani's emergence course for the last 4 Saturdays , having been a bit dubious starting the course , I really had no need to worry as Dani instantly put everyone at ease .It was a lovely group and delivered a great combination of yoga , mindfulness , and lots of coping mechanisms during this particularly stressful time. I feel renewed and ready to take on the world!
Jane
I took part in the Emergence programme in Feb 21 and thoroughly enjoyed it. I found the combination of yoga practice, reflection and conversation very constructive. I certainly came away with a few thoughts on how I would like to make improvements in my life. Thank you Dani.
Joan (returning attendee)
The course was uplifting and thought provoking. For the last 4 Saturdays I have enjoyed participating in the course starting off with a lovely yoga practice, enjoying the group discussions and taking away some self help tools to help me be as well as I can be in my life. Ending each session with a beautiful meditation really set you up for the weekend and week ahead. Thank you Dani for a lovely way to start off 2021.
Fiona
This course is a great way to begin the journey of introspection, giving you the chance to ask challenging questions and think differently about how you approach different situations in life while balancing the conversation with a combination of yoga and meditation. Dani is a great instructor/coach/guide on every level, would 100% recommend this workshop!
Celine
Dani's emergence program was a lovely balance between yoga and self reflection. It gave me the opportunity to step back from the busyness of day to day life and refocus on self care. Really enjoyed. Thanks Dani.
Catriona
My company has invited Dani to do one of her sessions with us and we learned loads about Mindfulness. Dani was super clear and calm on her communication and showed us 3 easy techniques to use, on her 20-30 minutes presentation. The feedback from the employees was amazing and more than 60% have been applying the methods every day since her session. We are forever grateful for her knowledge share and we would definitely recommend Dani to any company or anyone! Thank you once again Dani! You are incredible <3
Nadine Ribeiro - www.harveynash.ie
Dani is amazing. She recently did some Mindfulness corporate sessions for out team. She equipped the team with some tips and tools to cope with in these challenging times. Dani is the ultimate professional and made us all at ease and in the moment. I would definitely recommend that you engage Dani, it was so great for our team and the feedback was hugely positive.
Sharon Cowley - www.netaffinity.com
I’d be more than happy to recommend Dani! She has a wonderfully warm and engaging way, I felt at ease and able to be myself with her, which allowed for honest and insightful discussion. Dani helped by making valuable suggestions but she and I were clear that these were to prompt and inspire and to act upon if that was my decision. By working through possible scenarios together much of the anxiety I felt about the possible actions dissolved. Dani was very attentive, she was able to demonstrate an understanding for what I was saying and articulate it back to me in a manner that helped me to make sense of where I was going with my thoughts and get me back on track.
Laura
I was very impressed with the coaching process; I felt overall that I have a clearer perspective on my priorities and a better focus on the areas I need to work on. I felt that the coaching sessions with Dani have helped me to take a fresh look at my life and to work at making a few changes to it that will help me to have a better life. I felt the coaching process for me went very well. Dani's gentle guidance has helped me to bring a fresh look at my life. The coaching process was well worth it for me. I also think that Life Coaching is something that everyone should do a few times during their life.
Fiona
Thank you for being so generous and compassionate Dani. You gave us a wonderful gift in these strange time.
Eimear (post Covid-19 Lockdown 2020)
A sincere thank you Dani. As everyone else I am very grateful for your generous giving of mental support, positive energy, mindfulness, yoga practice, time and sense of community over the last long weeks!
Susie (post Covid-19 Lockdown 2020)
Thanks a million Dani for getting us through lockdown. Your meditations and yoga were a lifeline.
Brigid
After losing a loved one I needed to find some calm in my life that's when I found Dani yoga. I am practicing yoga with Dani for nearly 7 years, she exudes positivity, energy, warmth and a wealth of experience which she willingly shares with her class. I love attending my weekly yoga and look forward to meeting all the lovely friends I've made, we work hard but have great fun.
Jane Reddin
Dani's yoga is inspirational her creative vinyasa flow helps us to glide through our yoga practice. I look forward to Dani's practice each week. Since the lock down Dani's yoga practice has become life saving and breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you Dani I don't think you realise how you have helped so many people during this difficult time.
Fiona O'Dowd
I could not recommend Dani more highly. She has a wonderful energy with a very calming presence. She really listens to what you want from life and works to help you achieve it using all of her past learnings and experiences to inform her coaching. Dani is an excellent listener. She pays careful attention to everything that is said within each session and draws connections with discussion points from previous sessions. I always felt heard and understood by Dani, who is clearly a very empathetic and caring person herself. It felt like we were both on the path together, finding a solution and a way forward. I’ve often found change to be extremely stressful and anxiety provoking, even changes that are for the better. Dani’s calming presence and helpful guidance has helped me to move forwards on the path towards change with the feeling of hope rather than anxiety.
Kate
Having spoken to a few people who attended the Sales meeting, we all agreed Dani was a great speaker, and they really enjoyed her session. Everyone found Dani to be very engaging and communicated well, and they all loved the practice.
Audrey - Salesforce Executive
I really don't know what I would do without Yoga and the meditation that Dani provides for this group everyday. Thank you so much.
Anne (post Covid-19 Lockdown 2020)
Thank you so much for a fabulous weekend... I thoroughly enjoyed it. You are such a great host, creating an environment where all participants feel welcome and comfortable. I'll keep an eye on your site for another retreat next autumn. Take care and thanks.
Joan (January weekend 2020)
Yoga has become an essential part of my life-bringing both physical and mental benefits. Dani's yoga classes have contributed greatly to my enjoyment of life in the broadest sense. Sessions are enjoyable both for the technical learning and the spiritual fulfilment. Also I benefit from the broad range of Dani's yoga expertise and training. Live classes are great fun and that's backed up with great material on the web. P/s. - Her enthusiasm and positivity are infectious.
Marcus
Dani thanks so much for a brilliant morning. I feel so zen now thanks to you. You have a lovely style of teaching that inspires and resonates with everyone (chatting to a few lovely gals in the lift who were singing your priaises).
Sarah
I have been going to Dani's classes for years and it never fails to surprise me just how much they nourish me. Dani uses a powerful blend of challenging yoga and mindful exercises that help you stay focused in class and benefit from every breath, every movement. Dani is a rare kind of teacher - intuitive, inspiring and wise.

She recites poetry at the end of her classes which I love and also does short head massages which is a lovely touch. I find the yoga challenging which is good for me. I loved spending time with my friends and also other likeminded people. The woodland setting was beautiful where the retreat was held.

I had never been to a yoga retreat before and now I cant wait for the next one! A perfect balance. Dani is an amazing and caring teacher. Will recommend it to everyone!

This weekend was pure soul food on so many levels: yoga practices and meditations, venue, group and connections made. It was so relaxing and yet so nourishing. Dani is such a wonderful teacher and guide, so competent and intuitive, opening minds and bodies in her unique caring and compassionate way

Such an fantastic weekend, spending time with some inspirational women and learning how to look inward and reduce stress. I've come back feeling revived and uplifted. Looking forward to the next one!

I wish the weekend was ahead of us again and I had all the wonderful things and people to look forward to. It was absolutely brilliant, I enjoyed it so much. The light had gone out inside me and thanks to you and your practices I think it has begun to shine again, in a small but really significant way. A million thank yous. See you on one of your yoga days !
Katherine
Firstly, thanks a MILLION for all the planning, organising and hard work that you put into our Yoga Holiday - it was definitely a holiday and not a retreat - I say a 'real-TREAT'!!!. Every detail from start to finish was superbly organised and I really appreciate it all. You made our lives so easy for the week that we didn't even need to think - my brain literally switched off which was amazing. Yoga practices were just divine and I can still sense the glow within both when we practiced in the studio and also the sunset practice which was extra special. Thank you
Cathy
Hey Dani what can I say. There are no words to thank you for hands down one of the best weeks of my life. I loved every second of it. You created a space for women to find their strength and be proud of it, each and every one of us came with something but left with so much more. The fun the laughter the joy I will never forget. As a newbie to Yoga I loved the feeling of calmness that I got from the practice and I will definitely make the time to continue with that. You are the kindest coolest most inspirational chick that I know and no one could have made that happen but you. Thank you

Even as a complete mindfulness novice it was clear that Dani has a unique gift in teaching yoga and meditation. By paying attention to each person at their individual level she really encouraged improvement. Dani radiates positivity, calm and is extremely empowering with the poetry she read and the pieces she spoke about. From start to finish the retreat was well organised with communication at every stage. No query was too much and she was very approachable. As for the group, what a fabulous bunch of ladies-great fun, free flowing laughter and fondest of memories.

It was the best most spectacular invigorating and exhilarating yoga trip I have ever experienced. I love the yoga, mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing techniques and exercises. Dani was excellent at teaching, guiding and talking us through all these. I loved the balance between yoga and meditation etc and the downtime. I laughed until I cried at times, I loved the bond created between all 14 women who connected and shared and laughed, showed kindness and compassion. I found inner peace which was my intention for the week. Dani is a wonderful, warm and inspiring Yoga teacher. You are beautiful inside and out and have a gift for what you do adding poetry extracts, lavender massages and being attentive to our needs all the time. I loved every minute of this trip and am so grateful for you. Much love and light

My first time to go on a yoga holiday. So didn’t really have any expectations. Has the best time ever, beyond my wildest dreams. Friendship, fun, joy laughter, time out, “me time”, bonding. Really unbelievable. I have no more words to really say how much I got out of this trip. From beginning to end it was magical. I wasn’t looking to be fixed or find myself. I was looking of for time out for me, little bit of pampering and the joy of yoga in person again. You are wonderful Dani and you gave everyone a wonderful time. A trip I will honestly never forget. Namaste

I have used Dani both personally and professionally. From a professional perspective we have used her in Stripe partnering with us on her mindfulness programs. The team's feedback has been incredible with folks finding her techniques simple to follow yet impactful on their day to day. I have used Dani in a personal capacity also as a coach . She is a wonderful listener, highly pragmatic. She identifies quickly to support areas of development and also builds a plan that makes it practical and easy to follow. I am so grateful to have worked with her during a challenging period in this pandemic but also for her support to the team as a whole.
Lizzy Doyle; STRIPE
I would highly recommend this program and especially during these unpredictable times - the two hours Saturday morning was 'Chicken Soup for the Soul'
Donna
The Irish Hospitality Institute invited Dani to participate in our Mental Health & Wellness Series. Coivd-19 has had a devastating effect on our industry professionals with high levels of stress and anxiety. Dani provided a motivational class on resilience for wellbeing identifying how to cope with stress, anxiety and dealing with the impact of trauma on our mind and body. We are very grateful to Dani for sharing her knowledge and equipping us with skills to identify triggers and how best to take care of ourselves. I would highly recommend Dani to any company or individual. Our sincere thanks and we look forward very much to working with Dani again in the future.

I Recently did Dani's emergence course for the last 4 Saturdays , having been a bit dubious starting the course , I really had no need to worry as Dani instantly put everyone at ease .It was a lovely group and delivered a great combination of yoga , mindfulness , and lots of coping mechanisms during this particularly stressful time. I feel renewed and ready to take on the world!
Jane
I took part in the Emergence programme in Feb 21 and thoroughly enjoyed it. I found the combination of yoga practice, reflection and conversation very constructive. I certainly came away with a few thoughts on how I would like to make improvements in my life. Thank you Dani.
Joan (returning attendee)
The course was uplifting and thought provoking. For the last 4 Saturdays I have enjoyed participating in the course starting off with a lovely yoga practice, enjoying the group discussions and taking away some self help tools to help me be as well as I can be in my life. Ending each session with a beautiful meditation really set you up for the weekend and week ahead. Thank you Dani for a lovely way to start off 2021.
Fiona
This course is a great way to begin the journey of introspection, giving you the chance to ask challenging questions and think differently about how you approach different situations in life while balancing the conversation with a combination of yoga and meditation. Dani is a great instructor/coach/guide on every level, would 100% recommend this workshop!
Celine
Dani's emergence program was a lovely balance between yoga and self reflection. It gave me the opportunity to step back from the busyness of day to day life and refocus on self care. Really enjoyed. Thanks Dani.
Catriona
My company has invited Dani to do one of her sessions with us and we learned loads about Mindfulness. Dani was super clear and calm on her communication and showed us 3 easy techniques to use, on her 20-30 minutes presentation. The feedback from the employees was amazing and more than 60% have been applying the methods every day since her session. We are forever grateful for her knowledge share and we would definitely recommend Dani to any company or anyone! Thank you once again Dani! You are incredible <3
Nadine Ribeiro - www.harveynash.ie
Dani is amazing. She recently did some Mindfulness corporate sessions for out team. She equipped the team with some tips and tools to cope with in these challenging times. Dani is the ultimate professional and made us all at ease and in the moment. I would definitely recommend that you engage Dani, it was so great for our team and the feedback was hugely positive.
Sharon Cowley - www.netaffinity.com
I’d be more than happy to recommend Dani! She has a wonderfully warm and engaging way, I felt at ease and able to be myself with her, which allowed for honest and insightful discussion. Dani helped by making valuable suggestions but she and I were clear that these were to prompt and inspire and to act upon if that was my decision. By working through possible scenarios together much of the anxiety I felt about the possible actions dissolved. Dani was very attentive, she was able to demonstrate an understanding for what I was saying and articulate it back to me in a manner that helped me to make sense of where I was going with my thoughts and get me back on track.
Laura
I was very impressed with the coaching process; I felt overall that I have a clearer perspective on my priorities and a better focus on the areas I need to work on. I felt that the coaching sessions with Dani have helped me to take a fresh look at my life and to work at making a few changes to it that will help me to have a better life. I felt the coaching process for me went very well. Dani's gentle guidance has helped me to bring a fresh look at my life. The coaching process was well worth it for me. I also think that Life Coaching is something that everyone should do a few times during their life.
Fiona
Thank you for being so generous and compassionate Dani. You gave us a wonderful gift in these strange time.
Eimear (post Covid-19 Lockdown 2020)
A sincere thank you Dani. As everyone else I am very grateful for your generous giving of mental support, positive energy, mindfulness, yoga practice, time and sense of community over the last long weeks!
Susie (post Covid-19 Lockdown 2020)
Thanks a million Dani for getting us through lockdown. Your meditations and yoga were a lifeline.
Brigid
After losing a loved one I needed to find some calm in my life that's when I found Dani yoga. I am practicing yoga with Dani for nearly 7 years, she exudes positivity, energy, warmth and a wealth of experience which she willingly shares with her class. I love attending my weekly yoga and look forward to meeting all the lovely friends I've made, we work hard but have great fun.
Jane Reddin
Dani's yoga is inspirational her creative vinyasa flow helps us to glide through our yoga practice. I look forward to Dani's practice each week. Since the lock down Dani's yoga practice has become life saving and breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you Dani I don't think you realise how you have helped so many people during this difficult time.
Fiona O'Dowd
I could not recommend Dani more highly. She has a wonderful energy with a very calming presence. She really listens to what you want from life and works to help you achieve it using all of her past learnings and experiences to inform her coaching. Dani is an excellent listener. She pays careful attention to everything that is said within each session and draws connections with discussion points from previous sessions. I always felt heard and understood by Dani, who is clearly a very empathetic and caring person herself. It felt like we were both on the path together, finding a solution and a way forward. I’ve often found change to be extremely stressful and anxiety provoking, even changes that are for the better. Dani’s calming presence and helpful guidance has helped me to move forwards on the path towards change with the feeling of hope rather than anxiety.
Kate
Having spoken to a few people who attended the Sales meeting, we all agreed Dani was a great speaker, and they really enjoyed her session. Everyone found Dani to be very engaging and communicated well, and they all loved the practice.
Audrey - Salesforce Executive
I really don't know what I would do without Yoga and the meditation that Dani provides for this group everyday. Thank you so much.
Anne (post Covid-19 Lockdown 2020)
Thank you so much for a fabulous weekend... I thoroughly enjoyed it. You are such a great host, creating an environment where all participants feel welcome and comfortable. I'll keep an eye on your site for another retreat next autumn. Take care and thanks.
Joan (January weekend 2020)
Yoga has become an essential part of my life-bringing both physical and mental benefits. Dani's yoga classes have contributed greatly to my enjoyment of life in the broadest sense. Sessions are enjoyable both for the technical learning and the spiritual fulfilment. Also I benefit from the broad range of Dani's yoga expertise and training. Live classes are great fun and that's backed up with great material on the web. P/s. - Her enthusiasm and positivity are infectious.
Marcus
Dani thanks so much for a brilliant morning. I feel so zen now thanks to you. You have a lovely style of teaching that inspires and resonates with everyone (chatting to a few lovely gals in the lift who were singing your priaises).
Sarah
I have been going to Dani's classes for years and it never fails to surprise me just how much they nourish me. Dani uses a powerful blend of challenging yoga and mindful exercises that help you stay focused in class and benefit from every breath, every movement. Dani is a rare kind of teacher - intuitive, inspiring and wise.
