From detailed anatomy courses, to advanced teaching lessons, to yoga therapy for all things from depression & anxiety to connecting with the body- she has been one of my top favorite teachers I have had the privilege to learn from in my lifetime. I consider myself lucky to have her as a teacher, mentor, and friend.

Student Testimonials
“Denver guided me through my 200 & 300 YTT training. She was also part of the program when I completed the modules for yoga therapy through IAYT.
Denver’s teaching style is not only extremely knowledgeable & informative, but also very mindful & creative. She goes above and beyond with her teaching techniques. I feel so honored and grateful to have had her as one of my primary instructors for several years through my journey down the yogic path.”
“I received my 200-hour YTT at 20 years old then a year later my 500 YTT from Denver. The knowledgeable, care and passion put into the training I received was outstanding. Denver helped me become a confident instructor but what I didn’t realize when I first started my training is that it would equip me with skills to handle the ups and downs of my early, mid, and now late twenties. Denver’s training goes beyond the mat, and I believe is an investment that you will reap the benefits from for a lifetime”

She has now been teaching yoga for over 15 years, having owned and operated her own yoga studio for 8.5 years in Blue Ridge, GA and acted as the program director of Heartwood Yoga Institute in Bradenton, FL from 2016 to 2023.
