FOUNDERS
DANIEL SERNICOLA / JACOB HAYS / EDWIN CLARK
Although we began practicing yoga to become more flexible and counteract the stiffness acquired from repetitive gym workouts, we soon began to appreciate the mental benefits of a consistent yoga practice.
Basing our teaching approach on personal experience, we’ve developed a reputation for making yoga approachable to a diverse population of people including athletes and trauma survivors. We know the fear and apprehension in trying out something new and not being able to reach for our toes. We also know that feeling of emotional release that takes place during a yoga class when everything seems to come together and emotional healing begins.
We’ve built Danja Yoga on empowering others and are honored and excited to share the tools that have helped us, both physically and mentally, with others.

ENZO
DIRECTOR OF TAIL WAGS AND TREAT RETENTION
Furry friends can make any office feel like home, and our studio is no exception! Meet Enzo, our certified Emotional Support Animal (ESA) and office dog. Enzo is always close by, whether it's lounging near Daniel's desk or supervising yoga classes from behind the mat. He's a 3-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog that came to use through a rescue organization.
As much as we love having Enzo around, we understand that not everyone may be comfortable around dogs. If you have allergies or any concerns, please don't hesitate to send us an email. We want to make sure that everyone feels comfortable and welcome in our studio.
