This is my YOGA
—a cyclical, listening practice rooted in the rhythms
of my own body
My moon cycle guides how I move, nourish, rest, connect, and create.
Some mornings I plunge into cold water and descend into stillness.
Other days, it’s chanting, journaling, and asana.
Sometimes it’s hiking the mountain, walking with the waves, or playing piano.
Sometimes it’s intuitive dance.
Sometimes — it’s rest.
I cycle through roles — student, teacher, practitioner
each one informing the next.
I learn, integrate, and offer.
Then I return to the beginning — same, but different.
By living these values—in my home, on the mat, and beside other women—I hope to support personal and collective healing. My practice isn’t just for me; it is a way of returning together, challenging systems that normalize burnout, disconnection, and cycles of harm, and building spaces where we can rest, reconnect, and heal in relationship.
Where does harm begin— and what becomes possible when we face it with love?
This question lives at the center of my work.
This question sits at the center of my work.
I believe harm — personal, generational, cultural — isn’t born of evil,
but of disconnection and unprocessed trauma.
It grows where there’s no space to grieve,
to be vulnerable without consequence,
to be met with the reminder:
“This is not the truth of who you are.”
Without true repair, wounds settle into our bones,
our nervous systems,
our culture.
My work is to tend those fractures —
to honor DEEP REST as a vital part of the growth cycle,
not a reward, not an afterthought,
but a RETURN TO OUR TRUE NATURE.
When we live from that place,
we guide children through co‑regulation, not control.
we create for aliveness, not approval.
we love ourselves — not in fragments, but in full.
This is not just what I do.
It’s how I respond —
with truth, not blame.
With repair, not reaction.
With LOVE — especially for the places that have gone the longest without it.
Just as our wounds are shaped in the spaces between us, our healing, too, is woven together—through shared breath, mutual witnessing, and the rhythms of collective care.

Danielle Ho holds a B.A. in Neuroscience and Behavior from Wesleyan University and an M.A. in Biotechnology from Columbia University, along with post-master’s training in Integrative Nutrition from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. Her academic foundation in biological sciences and systems thinking informs her trauma-informed, body-based approach to healing and advocacy.
Danielle is a certified 500+ hour yoga teacher with specialized training in:
– Asana, advanced sequencing, and mobility
– Injury management & vinyasa
– Prenatal and postnatal yoga

She is also a mother, a Level 2 astrologer, and a trained Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). Her ongoing studies encompass Vedic chanting, yoga philosophy, nervous system literacy, and feminist thought work.
Danielle’s work weaves together somatics, sacred cycles, trauma recovery, and social advocacy. Drawing from scientific training, lived experience, and years of body-based practice, she supports others in attuning to sensation, pacing, and presence—honoring the body as an intelligent site of truth and transformation. Her approach is deeply relational: informed by the understanding that while harm often occurs in relationship, so too does repair and healing.
Her work is shaped by contemporary teachers and thinkers such as Resmaa Menakem, Jason Crandell, Nevine Michaan, Dr. Christine Cocchiola, Kara Loewentheil, RW Alves, Marion Woodman, and bell hooks, as well as sacred texts like the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gītā, the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, and Śaṅkarācārya’s Tattva Bodha.
