Des has been practicing yoga for nearly twenty years, with her commitment naturally ebbing and flowing through the seasons of life. When challenges arise, she consistently returns to her mat as a place of steadiness and reflection.

While her personality leans toward action and movement, over time she has felt a deepening call to slow down and turn inward. This has led her to gravitate toward Yin and Restorative practices, where stillness becomes a powerful teacher.

Des believes in the importance of creating space to pause, listen, and reconnect. Her classes invite students to soften, release, and cultivate a deeper relationship with their bodies and inner wisdom.

Outside the studio, you’ll find her coloring, gardening, hugging trees, picking up litter, or walking her beloved Boston Terriers, Olive and Juni. She considers it an honor to hold space and guide others toward a more grounded, inwardly connected practice.
