As a devoted Iyengar yoga practitioner and teacher, I’ve spent decades studying directly with the Iyengars in Pune, India. I teach from the heart, blending the discipline of traditional Iyengar training with the healing energy of Maui. My classes offer a quiet yet powerful invitation into the intelligence of your body and the stillness of your mind.
Deni's deep connection to Iyengar Yoga began in the 1980s, and she has devoted years to studying and practicing it. Her transformative journey included fifteen trips and four years of intensive learning directly with the legendary B.K.S. Iyengar and his children, Geeta and Prashant, in Pune, India.
Her travels through India, Nepal, Egypt, Israel, and Japan and visits to sacred sites have profoundly influenced her teaching style and life philosophy.
Passionate about travel, diversity, and embracing new experiences, Deni is also admired for her organized, healthy, and stylish approach to life.
Her journey is a testament to the power of new beginnings, and she continues to inspire others with her commitment to living fully and mindfully.
Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Deni made a life-changing move to Maui in December 1999, pulling up her roots to live and teach yoga in paradise.
In 2002, Deni opened the Maui Yoga Path in Kihei at the Mana Kai Maui—a sanctuary where individuals could deepen their practice and cultivate the body, mind and spirit.

“The path of yoga is such that both discipline and freedom are found in it. If discipline is the root, then freedom is the fruit. In Yoga, discipline and freedom, freedom and discipline go hand in hand.”
B.K.S. Iyengar
"If you pluck the base for a small plant, it will not grow. The root becomes firm from the base points. The base will make you do more. The gate is open for you." -Geeta Iyengar
