Dani Mae
My name is Dani Mae and I’m a co-founder of The Collective St. Pete.
I’m a Yoga Therapist and breath expert who serves my clients based on their individual needs, meeting them where they are in every session.
I use multiple modalities to assist my clients in healing from physical injuries, trauma, abuse and other conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, grief, cancer and insomnia.
I’m an open mind and open heart who strives to be a better human in every moment. I Love math, philosophy and practice stoicism.
I’ve dedicated my life to studying the breath. It started with finding solutions to relieve anxiety and depression as well as to increase my performance while long distance running. It reignited with my Freediving certifications and went deep while in Bali during a 500-HR Pranayama Teacher Training. It continued to expand while in Denmark for a Breatheology Instructor Certification and later into medical Pulmonology courses. I’ve continuously sought out countless Breathwork facilitators, breath experts and professionals to help me expand my knowledge, understanding and connection to my breath.
I’m committed to sharing all that I’ve learned through my seasonal Breath Technique Training on Breath Guidance and in my Breath Teacher Certification here at The Collective in April and October. You can also expect to enjoy a few breathwork circle experiences throughout the year in my Breathwork Breakthrough events.
What inspired The Collective?
I craved the space to be myself. The world is always telling you how you should act, what you should do and who you should be. I wanted a space where people could feel safe to be themselves. A space that allows room to grow, to be challenged and to be held. To be exactly who you are in any moment, with full acceptance of everyone being in different places at different times, but inside the same space and the same moment. The Collective is a community Home.
What kind of teacher are you?
A learner and an eternal student. I make it a point to continuously invest in my own education and skillsets, as well as to be open to changing my mind and expanding my horizons. My classes tend to always be different. There’s a good chance you’ll learn something new in each of my classes and I’ll learn something from you too. You can count on me to be available to chat and connect before and after classes, learn your name and your practice, and always be a student in my teachings.
What else are you up to?
Expanding Breath Guidance (my online breathing platform,) investing in Happy Earth Fund (my nonprofit supporting sustainable solutions for clean air, water and soil) and working with my clients one on one. My mission in life is to leave Earth with a little more Love and a little more life. I’m passionate about sustainable practices, radical transparency, non-attachment and easy access to support for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing.
