Danielle Cavallacci

Danielle's yoga journey began in the late 1990's when she stumbled upon a small yoga class taking place in a neighbor's attic. After spending most of her childhood in a dance studio, she was searching for something that blended rhythm, breath and movement. She found that yoga gave her a deep feeling of contentment, inner peace, and gratitude.

Danielle completed her RYT 200 at Providence Power Yoga in 2021. She also completed supplemental trainings in Yin yoga and Prenatal yoga, combining her passion and experience as a doula, childbirth educator and herbalist to educate and guide childbearing people to trust their bodies and make the best decisions for themselves during their birthing experiences. Danielle is a passionate, dedicated and enthusiastic yoga instructor with a deep commitment to spreading the transformative power of yoga. She inspires her students to not only achieve physical strength and flexibility but also to cultivate mindfulness, balance and inner harmony. Danielle fosters a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere in her classes, ensuring that every student feels supported and encouraged to explore.

Amy Wynne

“Everything relies on everything else in the cosmos in order to manifest—whether a star, a cloud, a flower, a tree, or you and me…We can experience profound connection and free ourselves from the idea that we are a separate self through the conscious recognition of interbeing.”
