Denise discovered yoga during one of the most challenging chapters of her life, while caring for her mother and brother through their illnesses. After they both passed, her practice at The Hot Yoga Spot became a grounding force - a place to move through grief, ease anxiety, and reconnect with her strength. That experience continues to shape the compassionate, encouraging way she teaches.

With a lifelong background in dance and ballet, movement has always been central to Denise’s life. Even after her dancing years, fitness remained her constant, eventually leading her to Barre and HIIT. In 2025, she became BarreFlow certified, began subbing at The Hot Yoga Spot, and later stepped into a permanent teaching role.

Denise now teaches both Barre and HIIT, blending her movement foundation with energizing, strength‑focused training. Her classes emphasize proper form, smart sequencing, and building strength from the inside out, creating an empowering and accessible experience for all levels.

She also brings years of corporate marketing experience, which informs her thoughtful communication, class design, and community‑building. She strives to create an environment that feels purposeful, motivating, and welcoming - helping students feel both challenged and supported.

What began as a healing practice has grown into a passion for helping others feel strong, grounded, and capable. Denise leads a weekly Barre class and continues to support the community through regular subbing across Barre and HIIT.
