Dede defines Yoga as a journey of self-discovery. She discovered Yoga after the birth of her second son; a transformation that inspired her desire to bring others into a similar reality.

Dede received her certification at The Pilates and Yoga Center of St. Louis, under the direction of Pam Schulte. Her training is in Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hatha and Restorative Yoga. She values the individual person, bringing humor and encouragement to her students. Her classes are compassionately taught to provide deep access to the body, spirit connectivity and a path to explore and shift patterns that no longer serve. Dede uses the wisdom of Yoga to help her students learn to manage the stress and busyness of their lives and develop a deeper awareness of living in the present moment.

Dede lives her Yoga by pursuing balance, stillness, simplicity and laughter. She passionately loves taking long walks with her dogs, Sadie and Jake, reading, cooking, biking with her family and lingering with friends.
