Living Yoga

---

Deni Roman, originally from St. Louis, Missouri, moved to Maui in December 1999, where she lives, practices, and teaches in a peaceful island setting.

As a devoted mother and grandmother, Deni brings love, wisdom, and grace into all areas of her life. 

With a passion for travel, diversity, and new experiences, she reflects the power of transformation in her journey.

Iyengar Yoga & Study in India

Deni’s connection to Iyengar Yoga began in the early 1980s and has become a lifelong devotion.

Certified by B.K.S. Iyengar, she has made sixteen trips to the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune — the heart of Iyengar Yoga for in-depth study.

Her travels to sacred sites throughout India, Nepal, Israel, and Egypt have profoundly shaped both her life and her teaching.

Path of Practice

Deni’s journey in movement began in the early 1980s with a background in dance and competitive athletics, including aerobics, racquetball, bodybuilding, and running.

Her path evolved from fitness into deeper practices in Kundalini Yoga and OSHO meditations, ultimately leading her to the precision and depth of Iyengar Yoga.

Communication & Leadership

Deni holds a Bachelor of Science in Speech Communication from Emerson College.

This foundation continues to shape her teaching style — clear, articulate, engaging, and deeply connected.
