Danielle D'Alesio
Danielle is a mindset coach and certified yoga instructor who specializes in helping women reduce stress, step into their confidence and discover themselves.
After experiencing a powerful life transformation through yoga, Danielle decided to become a teacher. For years, she struggled with anxiety and insecurities, and despite a successful career, she felt unfulfilled.
She started yoga as a physical practice to do cool arm balances and handstands, but she gained so much more. Through consistent practice the anxiety started to fade away. She gained a state of inner peace and confidence, and her life transformed from party girl to being on a path towards self-actualization.
Reflecting upon her growth, she found her purpose was to help facilitate this to others. She completed her teacher training at Skanda Yoga Studio in Miami, Florida, and the following year, she left her corporate engineering job to pursue her passions of yoga, health, mindset and spirituality.
She loves teaching yoga and meditation in a way that will help you release limitations, fears and insecurities in order to fully step into your power and receive your dreams. Still with an engineer brain, she enjoys focusing on technique as well as the scientific aspects of the practices. She thrives on teaching classes of a deeper spiritual nature, guiding her students to experience their true selves outside of the roles they play, attaining a state of inner peace, connection and love for themselves and others.

Tiffany Kalous, RYT-500
Tiffany Kalous, RYT-500, has been teaching yoga since 2017. She has taught power yoga, beginner's workshops, yin, restorative, kids' yoga, and meditation in five Dallas studios. After moving to Texas, she experimented with different styles, then settled at a power yoga studio. Though the classes were challenging, she was encouraged by her favorite teacher. In her practice, she found physical power, but also developed calm strength in life's uncertainties. With the connection of body and breath, she experienced the freedom of complete presence and awareness. Yoga uncovered the connection to her true self. Soon, it became the catalyst for transformation. She underwent difficult, yet important life changes, while on the path of self-discovery. Yoga became an integral practice to refine the mind and body. She generously shares her passion for yoga with others. She creates a safe space for her students to build presence, awareness, and discover new possibilities.
