About Us

A community rooted in authenticity, health, and the belief that every body deserves to flourish.

Founder

Daniele Denny, RN

My personal journey to health and wellness has sparked a strong desire to help others live a healthier, more fulfilling life. I started working as a Registered Nurse in 2010, and my nursing career has given me a strong foundation of health and wellness from a medical standpoint.

Over my years of working as an RN, I have come to realize the importance of cultivating a preventative and holistic approach when it comes to preventing chronic disease.

In 2023, I completed my CrossFit Level I training, 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT), Hot 26 yoga certification, and Yoga Sculpt certification. In 2025, I also completed a 100-hour Certified Rebirthing Facilitator training through Yoga Farm Ithaca.

Yoga has helped me recover from an unhealthy relationship with food, speak my truth, and find my true authentic self. It also deepened my passion for helping others regulate their nervous systems and build practices that support them both on and off the mat.

Outside of my passion and career, I am a mom to two beautiful boys — Owen (9) and Jack (7). I love spending time at the lake, hiking, biking, being with family and friends, riding horses, and trying new things.

I also serve as Nurse Faculty Clinical at Minnesota State Community & Technical College, where I continue to share my love of health education. In 2025 I completed a 100hr Certified Rebirthing Facilitator through Yoga Farm Ithaca.

Cat Hendrickson

Yoga Instructor

Yoga Sculpt Certified

Hi, I’m Cat! I’m 40 years young, full of energy, and always ready to bring the fun. I love making people laugh and creating a space where everyone feels welcome and inspired. Self-love and self-care are at the heart of everything I do. Fitness has been a huge part of my journey—whether it’s yoga, calisthenics, weightlifting, or kickboxing, I believe in pushing through life’s challenges to become the best version of yourself. I’m also certified in Yoga Sculpt, blending strength training with yoga for an empowering, high-energy practice. No matter what life throws at you, there’s always room to grow and thrive! Beyond movement, I have a deep passion for holistic wellness. I love organic cooking with an Ayurvedic twist—incorporating herbs and spices to nourish both body and soul. As an herbalist and aspiring naturopath, I find so much joy in creating natural remedies that support health and well-being. Homesteading is another love of mine. My animals provide for my family, and every summer, I can’t wait to build my beautiful garden, growing fresh herbs and veggies straight from the earth. Through movement, nutrition, and holistic wellness, my goal is to inspire, uplift, and guide others on their own journey—always with a smile and high vibes!

Stacy Pontinen

Yoga Instructor

200hr RYT

Hi! My name is Stacy and I am so honored to share my story and life's purpose with you. I have practiced yoga since 2018 and completed my 200 Yoga Teacher Training in May of 2022. I have a passion and calling for the practice and teachings of Yoga Nidra, Kundalini and creating an experience where yogis can feel held, safe and loved. My yoga journey began with the hopes of finding mental clarity and guidance. To my surprise, like many others, I found a purpose and true calling that aligned with my soul. I am here to provide support, compassion, empathy and space to those that are in need of it.

Kylee Jordahl

Yoga Instructor

Yoga Sculpt Certified

Hey! I’m Kylee—mom, wife, marketer, and longtime yoga lover. I took my first class 15+ years ago and was instantly hooked on the breath-to-movement connection. Now I teach Yoga Burn, a high-energy blend of yoga flow and strength + conditioning that leaves you sweaty, strong, and smiling. Every class is a little different and built for a full-body burn, with modifications so everyone feels supported. Expect low lights, loud pop/hip-hop/2000s throwbacks, and a space where you can vibe out and completely tune into your mat.

Wendy Pearson

Yoga Instructor

RYT-500

Hi there! My name is Wendy and I am a mother to three amazing children who are the greatest blessings in my life. I started practicing yoga in 2010 when a local dance studio instructor recommended that I try her class. I instantly fell in love with the practice. I graduated from Devanadi Yoga as a RYT-200 in 2014, and as a RYT-500 in 2024. I am continuing to study with Devanadi in 2025 and learn Thai Yoga Bodywork and Reiki. I have great respect and reverence for the wisdom of this ancient and beautiful practice. Yoga has been transformative for me on many levels, especially as a person who is proudly in recovery. All things yoga fascinate me! Pranayama, mudra, asana, and chanting mantras are all a part of my personal practice. I am a world traveler, a featured sticker artist at Burning Man in 2022, and an occasional skydiver. I love art, nature, reading, and going to the beach with my kids. Hari Om!

I especially thrive in the teaching environment. There is nothing better than seeing a student excel at their own practice! My classes are for all ages, and varying skill levels. Taking notice in my own journey through yoga led me to want to teach! My goal is to assist each student gain that special connection between their mind, body, and spirit throughout their yoga practice. Outside of yoga I love spending my time with my family and doing anything outdoors!
