With Danielle Marconi + Guest Teachers
Led by Danielle Marconi
This training is led by Danielle Marconi, alongside a small group of experienced guest teachers.
Danielle brings a unique blend of experience in functional movement, counseling, massage therapy, and energy work, which shapes the way she teaches—grounded, intuitive, and deeply human. She pays attention in a way that helps students feel seen, while still pushing them to grow.
This isn’t one-size-fits-all teaching. It’s personal, thoughtful, and built around how people actually learn.
Guest teachers add depth in anatomy, Yin and Restorative principles, and pranayama—giving you a well-rounded understanding of both the body and the more subtle aspects of the practice.
Next Session Begins November 2026
We start one training each November, and we keep it small—just 10 students. It’s a group you’ll actually get to know, practice with, and grow alongside over the six months.
If you’ve been thinking about it, November 2026 is your window.
Deepen Your Practice and Elevate Your Understanding
Personal Transformation
Learn from Teachers Who Understand Bodies (and People)
This training is led by:
Dr. Claire Nizzardo, Doctor of Physical Therapy
Dr. Loren Hager, Doctor of Chiropractic
Danielle Marconi, Licensed Professional Counselor, Reiki Master, and Licensed Massage Therapist
You’ll learn more than poses. You’ll learn how bodies move, how people learn, and how to teach in a way that’s clear, safe, and actually makes sense.
Small Group. Real Attention.
With just 10 students, the experience stays personal. There’s space to ask questions, practice teaching, and actually absorb what you’re learning—not just get through the material.
CURRICULUM & MODULES
What You’ll Learn
We cover a range of styles, including Vinyasa Flow, Restorative, Yin, and Kundalini, along with anatomy, philosophy, and the practical skills of teaching.
The first half of the training focuses on building a strong foundation—understanding the body, learning the roots of the practice, and experiencing different styles in a real way.
The second half shifts into teaching. You’ll learn how to sequence, how to communicate clearly, and how to lead a class without overthinking every word
Practice Teaching & Integration
You won’t just learn—you’ll practice.
Throughout the training, you’ll observe classes, teach your peers, and receive real feedback. That’s where things start to click—not perfectly, but honestly.
By the end, you’ll feel more comfortable leading a class, communicating clearly, and adapting in real time.
What This Training Is Really About
This training will change the way you see your practice—and yourself.
Over six months, you’ll start to notice your patterns—how you move, how you react, how you show up. Some of it feels clear and empowering. Some of it feels uncomfortable. That’s part of it.
You’ll build strength, confidence, and understanding—but also awareness that carries into your work, your relationships, and your day-to-day life.
