About Danit
The Yoga By Danit Method™ is about each student getting the best and most complete experience tailored to their personal needs and abilities. Danit sees her role as a facilitator, whose method is focused on helping each student have the best personal experience possible.
Danit’s rich life experience and multi-disciplinary background serve as the base for her practical approach to the benefits of yoga and meditation. Her experiences as a lawyer, business executive, ballet dancer, actress, parent and even military service enable Danit to apply the theoretical and philosophical ideas behind yoga and meditation into a relevant real-world format.
Danit Schreiber has been teaching and continuing to study Yoga and meditation for over fifteen years and has taught thousands of hours of classes. Over this time, Danit has developed a unique voice and her own distinctive style of teaching which has evolved into the Yoga By Danit Method™. Danit’s method focuses on achieving the greatest opening of the body and mind through a combination of effort and surrender. Uniting proper breathing with movement helps students attain the level of relaxation needed to open energy flow in the body and both strengthen and stretch their muscles and calm their mind. The method extends beyond the classroom and endeavors to provide students with practical tools they can use to improve the quality of their day-to-day lives. The studio she founded has become a special community where students feel mutually supported, empowered and safe. A place where they are inspired to face the challenges of modern life.
Danit has been practicing yoga and meditation on a daily basis for many years. She finds yoga to be a natural extension of her long-time experience as a ballet dancer. During her years of teaching, Danit has achieved the certification level of E-RYT 500 and YACEP. Certified in vinyasa, restorative, yin, meditation, Baby & Me and post-partum yoga. Danit is constantly studying, refreshing, and expanding her knowledge taking courses beyond yoga certification including anatomy and the science of stretching.
Danit provides students with a broad range of possibilities and approaches. Over the years, Danit's broad background and experiences have fused to become the Yoga By Danit Method. The method balances a focus on strong alignment and precise movements with mind and breath awareness that enable her students to both work and rejuvenate. Her classes are built on creative sequencing and a unique style to awaken and evoke the students' physical and mental awareness.
Prior to teaching Yoga, Danit worked in the business world. After serving in the Israeli Air Force, Danit completed her law degree and practiced as a litigator for several years in Tel Aviv. Danit worked as a corporate executive for several years before she and her family moved to the US.
In the US she started a successful business in teaching presentation skills. Danit decided to pursue Yoga because it gave her the satisfaction and joy of helping and supporting people in a manner that none of her previous endeavors could match. Being able to give people the same pleasure and benefits from Yoga that Danit herself has enjoyed is the ultimate reward. The mother of three wonderful children, Danit lives with her husband in Rye, NY.
