“That was a great class today Denise, I really enjoyed it, you are an excellent instructor, you have brought everything together and wrapped it with your energy and humor, which the students can tell that you are authentic, that you come from the heart, and that you teach from your truth which shows and is felt and that is what people respect and feel comfy with.” We get to see you and feel you when you teach and that is a beautiful thing I am very impressed with your stuff I a very happy to be involved in the Yoga world with you, you are bringing the anatomy with the spiritual with the unique moves and the chanting and the breathing and the tunes and your knowledge, I am just very happy for you that you are so authentic and just excellent with your yoga teaching Jason Zagaro, yoga teacher, friend

"Denise,
You have brought me much joy, peace and happiness since I found you!
The first few times I took the class, I found myself being pulled back
again and again because of the way I felt when I left the yoga room-
completely invigorated and detoxified. Recently, however, I find
myself looking forward to your words of wisdom just as much as the
vinyasa itself. I enjoy the time to reflect upon what you say and
find myself lingering on these thoughts throughout the week.
Thank you for the positive energy you bring to your class and for the
encouraging way you have us work the poses in the way that is best for
each of us. Your classes are FUN! I feel so happy to be there,
challenging myself. It's just ALL GOOD! Thanks for bringing yoga
back into my life, you little hottie! I am so happy to know you!"
Namaste, Tracey S. (hot yoga student)

"...and why Yoga continues to be the answer for me... last night's "paractice" was a breakthrough one for me. As I briefly mentioned to you, I was in a little bit of a funk on the way to the club, and when i realized it, my first inclination was to tall myself to shake it off, because I wanted to have a good practice and not re-injure myself at the same time. When I caught myself trying to block it out, I thought that the better thing to do would be to stay aware of my mood whatever it was and for whatever reason - I still don't know), and bring it to the mat, as you often say. Time was when I would force my way through a workout, and as I've told you in the past, I would get myself in a aggressive state of mind in order to have a satisfying and productive workout. Last night I just told myself to accept it and let it pass on by, which it eventally did. Once you mentioned the moon salutaions (a flow that was unknown to me of course) and that you were going to play the entire Dark Side of the Moon... I just knew... The music and the practice together was an experience greater than the sum of its parts. I don't know why it never occurred to me before, but it was what I needed to understand what it meant to "bring it to the mat." I had thought that I had before, but I didn't. I get it now. Thank you for enjoying what you do so much. It flows down to me and I know I'm not alone. "You are so amazing. I love love loved our spiritual emotional and physical cleansing class this past Saturday (equinox flow ). My mother loved your spirit. You are a true treasure."thank you TEACHER, SPIRIT, LOVE,
"My heartfelt gratitude, Denise, for opening up and warming our bodies, hearts, and souls by boldly and tenderly sharing your own. The setting you personally and innovatively create invokes trust, serenity, and a sense of safeness and healing; at the same time lovingly challenging us to not only do and be our best, you encourage us to go deeper and be better. Your class sweetly blends acceptance with a desire to go further. When I am 'thirsty,' your classs is an oasis where I can step out of the desert to be nourished. Together, we breathe deeply and intentionally allowing us to really focus. I can surrender myself into your capable and loving hands, and be guided into this journey of revelation and unity and peace. It is so special that you take us along your own personal journey, wanting to share with us all that you discover and experience along the way. I always leave invigorated, satisfied, re-energized, and ready to face the day! Thank you, again & again..."

"You're a class act for sure and always brought such vitality, inspiration, and challenge to each session. You have a childlike quality that rubbed off on many of us - I for one found myself thinking, "Yes, I can", during many classes. I want to thank you so much for this very unique experience. wanda/rockland cty,ny
"I just wanted to tell you how awesome I think your class is - I only miss it if I'm away - there's no other excuse! Tired or whatever, I always try to make it because something is missing if I don't!! I've become an "addict" !!!
