Hi I’m Dannika

Dannika is an Experienced-Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT®) with a deep passion for making yoga accessible, transformative, and sustainable for all. She creates nurturing, mindful spaces where people can safely navigate self-studies, deepen self-compassion, and cultivate a long-lasting internal State of Grace—both on and off the mat. 

With extensive training in Classical Hatha, Integrated Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, and Chair Yoga she offers inclusive, empowering classes for individuals of all levels and all bodies. Her approach blends breathwork, movement, meditation, and mindfulness practices creating and holding safe spaces where people can slow down, tune into their bodies, and trust their own inner wisdom.

With ten years of unique, yogic teaching experiences, Dannika has had the joy and privilege of hosting weekly group yoga classes, live virtual yoga classes, international yoga and adventure retreats, corporate wellness sessions, local beach yoga events and really awesome People with Disabilities yoga classes. 

When she’s not on the mat, you’ll find Dannika exploring the outdoors with her hound dog Ole Miss, getting lost in a feel-good book, or soaking up the serenity of the seacoast in Portsmouth, NH.

Meet Ole Miss

Meet Ole Miss

Ole Miss is the most gentle, wise, empathetic, compassionate canine – whom Dannika lovingly refers to her as her “Soul Dog” – and who absolutely embodies the pure heart of yoga.

As a beautiful bloodhound/black lab mix and a true Southern belle from Mississippi, Miss is known for her perfectly practiced Downward-Facing Dog, her deep devotion to Savasana, and her uncanny ability to leave pawprints on your mat and heart.  

With her intrinsically calm, deeply-rooted benevolent nature, she radiates warmth and creates an easy-going energy everywhere she goes. As a Certified Canine Good Citizen (CCGC) and Emotional Support Animal (ESA), she has made many special appearances and continues to be a contributing member of the Doga community.

If you’d love to share your practice with Miss, please do ask—she’s always happy to join!*
