Mindfulness and yoga have given Desiree a new lease on life, and she is passionate about sharing these practices to support others through life’s challenges and invite them into a deeper inner journey of connection with themselves. For Desiree, yoga presents an opportunity to travel inward, turn up the volume of the heart and senses, and cultivate greater self-awareness, self-compassion and mindful presence, both on and off the mat.
