About Denver

Raised in a Dance studio by two dance teacher parents, Denver has been raised to speak the language of the body. As a lifelong larger bodied person, the struggle of growing up in front of a mirror left her with body dysmorphia, disordered eating patterns and self loathing. Coupled with Anxiety and Depression, the simple blessing of finding a yoga class at age 21 was a life saving moment. Raised by teachers and with a passion for performing arts, Denver left the world of musical theatre and dance and began to learn and share the gifts that yoga has to offer with others.

She has now been teaching yoga for over 15 years, having owned and operated her own yoga studio for 8.5 years in Blue Ridge, GA and has been acting as the program director of Heartwood Yoga Institute in Bradenton, FL since 2016. There, she sits on the faculty teaching Anatomy, Meditation, Pranayama and more and she has helped build and teach the IAYT accredited Yoga Therapy curriculum at the school.

Denver received her 200 and 300 hour Yoga Teacher training from Peachtree Yoga in Atlanta, GA, Her Yoga Therapy and Reiki Master certifications from Heartwood Yoga Institute in Bradenton, FL and her Massage Therapy schooling from Sarasota School of Massage Therapy in Sarasota, FL. She has been a massage therapist for over 7 years.
