Additionally, Deanna completed a 200-hour Yoga and Healing Sciences program at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where she further honed her expertise with an advanced yoga therapy training program. This earned her the esteemed C-IAYT credential through the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) after completing over 800 hours of specialized training. Her pursuit of knowledge has continued with mentorship from Kathleen Ross-Allee, a trailblazer in yoga therapy for cancer patients, and studies with Tari Prinster, founder of yoga4cancer.

Testimonials

  • “Deanna has been my yoga therapist for over 10 years now. I had no idea what yoga therapy was. But, after trying it, I started feeling better. Since then, I no longer feel lower back pain. Through gentle yoga stretching, I have become more flexible. As a diabetic, Deanna taught me breathing techniques that has decreased my stress levels. And, this has helped me control my blood glucose levels.”- Gerry S. (Television Broadcast Engineer)
  • “Deanna is an extremely warm, sensitive, compassionate and motivating human being. After 4 babies and feeling at my heaviest weight, the last place I felt motivated to go was to the GYM! However, after working with Deanna, hearing her success story, seeing her physical and mental strength and her desire to bring that out in ME, I was incredibly motivated. Energized. And so inspired to get BACK to working out again! She taught me HOW to do that. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to gain their strength back and/or lose weight. I am so grateful for her healthy influence on my life. The core strengthening skills, proper breathing techniques and the exercises she has taught me, will stay with me for a long time. I have so much gratitude!”- Marion B. (Busy Mom of Four)
  • “Deanna has a passion for fitness and she knows her craft very well. My first encounter with Deanna was very uplifting. It was my first day back at exercising after being away for five months due to a traffic accident. Deanna graced me with a beautiful smile as she introduced herself. During our training session, I observed how educated she was about training. She explained each workout routine, why it was important and how it would improve my strength. Her words of encouragement motivated me to lose weight. I was impressed with the fact that I remembered the routines she taught me; I was able to do them on my own when she wasn’t there. On a personal level Deanna is very professional, well-mannered and is a very effective trainer. She makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. Deanna has my highest recommendation as a great personal trainer.”- Keisha R. (Medical Field)
