Daniel grew up in Charlotte. He studied Literature, Art and Design in school and took his first yoga class in the odd months after graduation. In the post-college fog of wondering, "Where should I go with my life?" and "What does it all mean?" he stumbled into a vinyasa yoga class and discovered that the answers to every question of destiny lie inside.

Yoga ignited the pilot light of self-transformation and through a physically challenging practice he found that the suffering and malaise of life was really just a habit pattern. Through a little sweat, breathing and self expression Daniel found that habits can be transcended and this continues to be the core of his teaching. Daniel is thrilled to teach a practice that engages people's bodies and minds and ultimately helps people become their own North Star. He teaches at Charlotte studios and to youth groups and community organizations, creating a space for positive change. It's a process that sustains his continued transformation.

"A yoga practice is ultimately a deep conversation with the self. Whatever the poses, whatever the thoughts and whatever emotions come up, it's between you and you. The you that has become a mundane habit and the you deep inside that's ready to shine light on the world."
