Daniel has always wanted to bridge two worlds: the clinical science of the brain, and the somatic wisdom of breath, movement, and stillness. As a Pediatric Neurologist, he cares for children and families navigating neurological disorders. On the mat, he teaches movement and mindfulness that help regulate the very systems he studies every day.

Daniel discovered yoga in 2014 in Chicago, Illinois as a college student at Northwestern University as he sought out an outlet to better understand his body and to complement his ice hockey training. Daniel's passion for yoga quickly grew, leading to an ongoing journey of self-discovery, grounding, and mindfulness. He first received his 200 hr RYT certification in January 2019, and has taught across Chicago and Boston ever since.

Daniel's teaching is grounded in the neuroscience of stress relief, intentional movement, and compassionate guidance. Throughout his teaching, he has taught individuals of all backgrounds how to reconnect with their breath and restore nervous system balance — without needing to escape daily life. He started teaching yoga for the same reason he went into medicine, to help people feel seen, centered, and safe — especially in their own bodies. He believes yoga and neuroscience both tell us the same truth, healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in rhythm, relationship, and regulation.
