Deni Roman, certified Iyengar Yoga teacher was born and raised in St. Louis and moved to Maui in 1999. Her yoga path brought her to this island paradise where she could practice and teach the subject that has brought so much joy, awareness, and transformation into her own life. Deni comes from a background in dance and also competed nationally in body building, aerobics, racquetball, and marathons. With a B.S. in Speech Communications from Emerson College in Boston, she became an ergonomic specialist for fortune 500 companies. While achieving great success in the corporate world she also raised 2 beautiful children. She therefore understands the importance of finding balance in both personal and professional pursuits.
Even with her “success” in life, Deni felt that there was something more and began her spiritual quest. Her search led her to sacred holy sites throughout India, Egypt, and Israel. She found yoga and studied with Yogi Bhujan in Kundalini Yoga for ten years. Since 1986, she has studied Iyengar Yoga and has attended classes at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India for 19 months learning directly from the Iyengar family. It has been through the precise and detailed instruction of the Iyengar method interwoven with ancient spiritual wisdom, that has brought to Deni the clarity and understanding to find balance, peace, and purpose in her own life.
Deni teaches yoga as a path to Liberation through Iyengar Yoga, movement and holistic healthy living into her creative and joyful teaching style. From her decades of daily practice, Deni possesses a boundless energy to share her knowledge through her teachings and motivate her students to develop their own personal yoga practice.
Whatever your age, level, or ability, Deni will guide you to become aware of your present condition and help you move forward towards a life of peace, harmony, and complete health. Her teaching style is clear, detailed, motivating, and fun. Through your own experience with Deni, you will know that her teaching comes from her heart. Her love of sharing herself through teaching is a gift to all of us.
