Dani Hébert

CO-OWNER & DIRECTOR ONE YOGA VAN

My background in yoga began with a casual practice nearly 25 years ago. Gradually I became dedicated to a daily practice and curious about the true power of Yoga. I began seeking the deeper aspects of the practice, which led me to my first teacher training in 2013 with Sherry Zak. From there I have been blessed to study and practice with Manju Jois (Ashtanga Vinyasa), Gert van Leeuwen (Critical Alignment Yoga and Therapy). And eventually this magical path led me to my love, partner, and teacher Ryan Leier, with whom I have spent thousands of hours learning on a daily basis.

I am further blessed to be learning from with Sri T Krishnmacharya’s youngest child, Sri Shubha who embodies the lightness and love of an authentic lifelong Yogini. As well as Ryan’s main teacher, Mr Ramaswami.. I am currently studying Yoga Therapy with the Mohan’s who are others in the T Krishnamacharya lineage, and which is having a huge impact on my understanding and delivery of Yoga.

I have also done 140 Hours with Nicki Terlich in her Face Core Method.

My teaching style generally incorporates Vinyasa Yoga movement mixed with Buddhist/ Yogic philosophy and mind practice to create an integrated sense of mind-body-feeling.

I do my best to uphold the teachings that have been passed to me; I like to begin and end with a Sanskrit prayer and always incorporate Pranayama (traditional Yogic breath work) into the practices.

Art-making has always been a part of my life and I am midway through a master’s in Art Therapy, I am working towards creating offerings that combine therapy, art making, and Yoga.
