Meet Our Lead Trainer
Meet our Lead Trainer Dani Viskovich, 500 E-RYT. Dani is the owner and founder of LiLa Family Yoga and has been an active teacher for approaching a decade, practicing yoga for the last 15 or so years. She puts her heart and soul into her teachings both on and off the mat.
Dani sought her own holistic route to find her way to healing, which is where she found and fell in love with yoga. It provided her with something she didn't know that was so engrained in her life, the element of being present in her body, and the profound ability to heal as a result. She began her studies in the Hatha based lineage, with an emphasis on alignment and connection to the universe. Dani has since immersed herself in esoteric studies such as Reiki, Tarot, Meditation, Mindfulness, and philosophy of Yoga. Teaching students is her passion, however teaching Yogi's is her what she refers to as part of her life's work.
Dani is also a special educator and behaviorist; having a Ms.Ed in Special Education and Behavior Analysis. Dani utilizes her extensive knowledge of yoga, human behavior and teaching to bring unique Yoga Alliance approved teacher trainings. As a person who loves to give, she is beyond excited to join you on this exciting journey.
Dani often says, "I teach children to find their voice in this world, and I teach adults to find their inner child"
Meet Our Assistant Trainer
Ashley began her practice in 2010 and soon after in 2013 started to share it as a teacher when she recieved her 200 hour certification. Throughout this time, she has studied various classical yoga traditions and has dedicated the last six years to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga under the guidance of her teacher Danielle Goldstein.
