The Zen Path

About:

Deanna has been teaching yoga since 2009 and sees it as more than a practice—it is her pathway to presence, clarity, and purpose. Her own journey from chronic stress to vibrant well-being inspired her to create a healing approach that integrates yoga, mindfulness, somatic embodiment, and nervous system education.

Deanna is currently working with clients as she completes the clinical hours required to become a licensed mental health therapist. This work deepens her understanding of the human experience and strengthens her commitment to supporting holistic healing through both therapeutic and embodied approaches.

Her teaching has been shaped by many influential mentors and thought leaders, including Rod Stryker, Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Gabor Maté, Uma (Ashleigh) Sergeant, Elena Brower, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and Dr. Andrew Huberman. She is also deeply inspired by the Bowspring Method and its founders, Desi Springer and John Friend, whose teachings continue to inform her understanding of alignment, resilience, and human potential.

Through one-on-one guidance and group offerings, Deanna supports others in moving from burnout to balance, helping them reconnect with their vitality, inner wisdom, and capacity to thrive. Her work is grounded in the belief that lasting health begins with the nervous system—and that each of us has the ability to shift from survival mode into a more vibrant, connected, and purposeful way of living.
