DeAnna Nielson
DeAnna Shires Nielsen, M.Ed. E-RYT 500, Reiki Master, Owner and Director of the In-Depth Studies program at Blue Anjou Yoga Studio in Lewisville, draws from her previous career as a Special Education teacher in creating her multi-stage approach to breaking down asana with awareness thus making asana approachable, safe, and exciting for both the beginner and the advanced practitioner. In 2005, DeAnna created the “Breath Into Recovery” program for those healing from addiction and is a strong believer in Yoga for Emotional Healing, which is evident in her teaching. In addition to asana, DeAnna incorporates the Energy, Body, Pranayama, Meditation and Chanting/Mantra into her classes for a holistic yoga experience. Her playful spirit encourages laughter, exploration and the freedom to Bliss Out and simply Be.
DeAnna is a Certified Hatha Yoga teacher with specializations in Yoga for Beginners, Yoga for Women, Prenatal Yoga, Children’s Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Therapeutics, Ayurveda, Yoga for Recovery and Emotional Healint, Reiki and Prana Karma. Since beginning her personal yoga journey in 1993, DeAnna’s most influential teachers are Karen Prior, E‐RYT 500 of N3Yoga, Dr. David Frawley, Director of the American Institute of Vedic Studies, and Anodea Judith of Sacred Centers.
