Danielle is the owner of Hot Yoga Belfast, having taught here since it first opened as Fitness Space back in 2017 when the opportunity arose in June 2018 to take over, HYB was born. Danielle has been practising hot yoga for nearly 9 years between Belfast, Manchester, and the US. She certified as a Hot Yoga teacher with RAJA Yoga academy in 2016 and has been teaching full time ever since.

​Danielle is passionate about the mental health benefits of hot yoga having suffered for years with anxiety and depression and experiencing the life changing benefits of hot yoga herself.

​Danielle trained with TCTSY last year in trauma informed yoga and is also a qualified Pilates instructor. Currently she is training with Oak and Willow on an Advanced TT that incorporates FRC, mobility, yoga Nidra and Celtic philosophy into a holistic and 3D yoga practise. Danielle is also training to become a Psychotherapeutic counsellor specialising in somatic reconnection and trauma release.

​Danielle teaches a strong and challenging class, her flow classes combine elements of Pilates, mobility, and yoga to build strength and flexibility while her take on the 26&2 merges the traditional Bikram postures with vinyasa and the intermediate series. Always fun, always challenging and always sweaty. All of her classes, like every class in the studio – are accessible to beginners and first-time yogis. She will encourage you to connect to your breath, to get out of your head and into your body and to use your practise to find stillness amidst the chaos - not only in the room but in your everyday life too.
