IYAUM 2024 Slate

The following candidates are running for new three-year terms:

​

• Danielle Berres

  Danielle has been a student of Iyengar Yoga since 2010, when she practiced under the guidance of Richard Schachtel in Seattle.  After moving to New York, she studied with Lara Warren and Carrie Owerko, before returning to the Twin Cities and continuing her practice with Williams Prottengeier and Jeanne Barkey. Danielle is an Integrative Physical Therapist at Hennepin Healthcare and a Professional Yoga Therapist.  She has been profoundly impacted by the work of the Iyengars in making yoga accessible through props and philosophy. Danielle lives in Saint Paul with her husband, three children and a mini schnauzer. 

  ​

• Daina Skrove

  Daina has been a student at The Yoga Place in La Crosse for nearly 15 years. She originally started going to yoga to strengthen her neck and back after a car accident. The Iyengar method immediately drew her in with its instruction and attention to detail. Not only was she able to strengthen her body, but she was also able to strengthen her mind through focused classes and instruction. Before the pandemic, Daina studied primarily with Chris Saudek, but now she studies with all The Yoga Place instructors through hybrid classes. She participated in the last two IYNAUS conventions with Abhijata Iyengar, teacher workshops hosted at the Yoga Co-Op of Madison (Chris Saudek), and various other workshops hosted by the Yoga Place. Daina lives in Rochester, Minnesota with her family, two cats and a dog.
