The seed that grew into Yoga for Gamers was planted back in 2011, after Danielle attended her first MAGFest. She came to the event for her love of music, art, and video games, but her budding knowledge of yoga and its philosophy came with her too. Experiencing a convention was surprisingly a lot like being part of a yoga studio—surrounded by creative, open-minded, kind-hearted people in a community, where everyone is ready to connect, explore new artists, level up gaming skills, and most importantly—just feel free to be totally themselves.
Danielle’s approach to the yoga-gaming connection is, at its core, about uncovering authenticity, balance, non-judgment, awareness, and therefore greater power, in participants. These are skills that can be applied to live with less restriction in mind, body, and spirit—as well as to become a more effective and controlled gamer.
Danielle is a certified 500-hour yoga therapist (C-IAYT, RYT-500) and has been teaching since 2013.
