ALIGNED: Brand School with Dani
Join Dani for 3-hour immersive workshop designed for yoga, pilates, and wellness practitioners who are ready to clarify their message and build a more intentional, aligned personal brand.
Your brand is more than a logo or aesthetic—it’s how you communicate your work and connect with the people you’re meant to serve. In this hands-on session, you’ll be guided through the foundational elements of personal branding, including your niche, messaging, and visual direction.
Through a blend of practical exercises, collaborative discussion, and creative exploration, you’ll begin shaping a brand that reflects the depth of your work and supports your growth. Midway through, we’ll pause for a short guided practice to reset and reconnect—creating space for clarity and fresh perspective.
You’ll leave with a stronger sense of direction, refined messaging, and tangible tools to help you show up more confidently and consistently—both online and in your offerings.
An optional add-on branding photoshoot will be available following the workshop for those who want to capture professional, aligned imagery to match their brand.

Blending traditional yogic wisdom with modern scientific understanding, this training offers a grounded and experiential approach to breath as medicine.
What to Expect
• Foundational principles of pranayama within the 8-limb system
• The relationship between breath, the nervous system, and mental health
• Core pranayama techniques and their safe, effective application
