Deanna is a rockstar yoga instructor based out of Toronto. Deanna’s opened two yoga studios abroad – one in St. Maarten and another in Miami – sure it’s the dream of every yoga teacher but it hasn’t been all sunshine and yoga on the beach. She’s learned a lot of hard lessons and come out stronger both personally and professionally. She’s now building her own online studio and running her own business.  She’s bold, refreshingly authentic, and she’s got really great advice that every instructor should hear – so let’s get started.
