Growing up in a Dance studio owned by her parents, Denver has been raised to speak the language of the body. A lifelong larger bodied person, the struggle of growing up in front of a mirror left her with body dysmorphia, disordered eating patterns and self-loathing. Coupled with Anxiety and Depression, the simple blessing of finding a yoga class at age 21 was a lifesaving moment. Raised by teachers and with a passion for performing arts, Denver left the world of musical theatre and dance after college and began to learn and share the gifts that yoga has to offer with others.

With over 2 decades of experience teaching mindful movement to people of all ages and abilities, Denver has now been teaching yoga for over 16 years, having owned and operated her own yoga studio for 8.5 years in Blue Ridge, GA and was the acting program director and curriculum writer for Heartwood Yoga Institute in Bradenton, FL from 2016 - 2023. She teaches Anatomy, Meditation, Pranayama and more and has helped build and teach an accredited Yoga Therapy program with the International Association of Yoga Therapists and now sits on the member schools committee with IAYT. She owns and operates her own accredited yoga teacher training school under Embodied Health and is the founder of yogateachersupport.com an online resource and community for yoga teachers offering resources, articles, ceu courses and more. Denver is also a regular contributing author for Yoga Journal online.

Denver received her 200- and 300-hour Yoga Teacher training from Peachtree Yoga in Atlanta, GA, her Yoga Therapy and Reiki Master certifications from Heartwood Yoga Institute in Bradenton, FL and her Massage Therapy schooling from Sarasota School of Massage Therapy in Sarasota, FL. She has been a massage therapist since 2018.

Denver lives in Bradenton, FL with her loving husband and two strong, independent daughters.
