Deanna has practiced Yoga since 1991. Since completing her first teacher certification in 1995, she has taught classes, courses, and workshops on Hatha Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center in Marina del Rey. In addition, she is a graduate of the Yoga Therapy Rx program (2010) at Loyola Marymount University as well as the Tensegrity Yoga Therapy internship program (2011), under the tutelage of Sherry Brourman, E-RYT and Physical Therapist. Prior to moving into teaching Yoga and Yoga Therapeutics full time, Deanna worked at Verizon corporation for over 30 years, earning two business degrees while working full–time in a high stress environment doing project management, systems analysis, support and implementation. She has a well-founded understanding of the importance and benefits that yoga can bring both on and off the mat.
