Danielle Locastro, typically known as Dani, is an artist and lover of life! Dani discovered yoga in 2001 as a way to get healthy after a near death experience during childbirth and as a way of finding balance from her demanding textile design career in NYC. After her first yoga class, she realized the connection of mind, body, and awareness with spirit on the mat is the same for her as creating art, both now integrated into her daily life towards wellness.

She has a full time business called Heartful Yoga by Dani to invite others to live and breathe in the process of exploring awareness, creativity and self-expression on and off the mat. The integration process of yoga and art textile design and manufacturing is uniquely Dani.
