ABOUT DANI B

Danette Bauer, affectionately known as Dani, brings a playful and lighthearted approach to yoga. With over a decade of dedicated study both domestically and internationally, she has the skills to guide students through safe, inclusive classes that foster greater self-awareness. Her infectious enthusiasm and deep empathy for others shines through in every session.

Dani is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance and has studied under various influential teachers. In 2024, she was awarded a scholarship for a teacher training in Poros, Greece, with Meg Shuba, owner of Body Poetic. This 3-week immersion, along with Body Poetic’s methodology, deeply resonated with her. Dani’s ongoing learning enriches her students’ experience, blending yoga philosophy, curiosity, and fun flows into every class.

Dani grew up in the Chicago suburbs, where she began her yoga teaching journey in 2017 under the guidance of Jeannine Bush Clinton at Essencia in Wheaton, IL. After completing her YTT, she became a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and started leading the community in mindful movement. Her path of study includes a special focus on children’s yoga and working with students and adults with disabilities. Dani has led yoga classes to special recreation day programs and after-school yoga clubs, always believing that yoga is for everyone and can be practiced anywhere. She has taught in various settings, including studios, schools, living rooms, on Tybee Island, with The Collins Quarter at Forsyth Park, and online through Zoom. Her favorite experiences include collaborating with other creatives and community leaders, particularly in support of charities and families with special needs.

Her love for recreation and camping, combined with a natural sense of wanderlust, led Dani to travel through the western United States in 2020. Soon after, she settled in coastal Savannah, GA, with her boyfriend and tuxedo cat. By day, she works with children on the autism spectrum as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), cultivating patience and resilience. In the evenings and weekends, she returns to the yoga mat, embodying both teacher and student in union with others.
