She is creative, fun, and doesn't make yoga ever feel like work. She focuses on the energetic practice just as much as the physical bodily practice, so you are able to have a full experience. She continues her education and teachings all the time, so always has new offerings and perspectives being added to her classes. Sutras classes are very affordable as well!

I have been wanting to try yoga for sometime now, so after seeing a sign for YogaDale on the…read morefreeway the name just stuck & i looked them up. First impression: 10:30am class for beginners with Nancy was so calming & relaxing. It just so happens that they were having a few free classes this weekend so i really lucked out. This particular class had alittle over 10 people in it & the fact that it was my first time i enjoyed how welcoming everyone was, Nancy included. Everything was very clean & organized. Some advice: although drops ins are welcome($15) i can see why registering online would be the better option. Your info is already in their system when you arrive & you're off to pick your spot. Also, parking is limited to what you can find on the main road so try to arrive early if you take one of the afternoon classes i can see someone driving around or walking alittle to get to the studio. They have some mats that you can buy, there were also some mats on the shelves that im assuming you can use for a fee if you dont have one, I'm not sure about the specifics on this one because I took my own, but if you don't have one call ahead and ask. Conclusion: I really enjoyed myself & how patient Nancy was, i will be back.

Strength, spirituality, wellness…read more Practicing with Deneene has had a profound grounding effect on my wellbeing. Through years of yoga styles and fads, I've never been able to maintain a consistent, beneficial practice that connects all three virtues of strength, spirituality, and wellness until I had the fortune of meeting Deneene last February. The practice is customized to meet me where I am at physically and emotionally each time I approach the mat. Whether it's over Zoom, or sometimes in person, we designed a practice that has resulted in steady, incremental changes for long-term sustainability. Deneene is great with explaining the names and benefits of each posture, while checking form and giving gentle reminders on incorporating breath work. She is conscious of my body's ever-changing stress tolerance and emphasizes movement "only if it feels good." It gives an organic, customized feel to each practice as opposed to cookie cutter movements I've typically received from studios or other online classes in the past. It's personalized, focused and it's just for me! She also empowers me to practice on my own by giving me the knowledge and confidence to know what I am doing. And although I still have so much more to learn about myself and this practice, I no longer shy away from it but instead run towards it with great enthusiasm and curiosity. Yoga with Deneene has changed my life. Thank you, Sattvamama Deneene --Sabrina B

They offered an amazing variety of yoga, meditation, lectures, and musical events for EVERYbody. Whether you were new to yoga or a master yoga teacher, there was something for everyone. They also had yoga related vendors, vegan friendly food service, and several massage/acupuncture/reiki services. The only meal included in the event was Saturday nights Farm to Table dinner which was surprisingly good, especially when they were cooking for 300-400 people. Even though this was a yoga event, they offered wifi throughout the entire event for those who couldn't quite disconnect. I liked that they limit this event to 500 people, so it is not crowded and they allow people of all ages, including kids! Overall, the event was fantastic. My only issue was that I rented a cabin, but was unable to run the heat in the cabin because it smelled like gas and gave me a really bad headache. I highly recommend the following events, music, and services: Chill Yoga and Yoga Nidra - Brenna Geehan Women Healing the World - Nubla Teixeira Visionary Nourishment: The Yoga of Food - Chef Jillian Love Address Your Stress - Marissa Nasca Music by Britt Warner Reiki and Energy Work - Janine Trindad Massage by Dan Nazarian
