I received my yoga certification in 2015 and have been teaching steadily ever since. As an E-RYT 500, I completed over 1,200 additional hours of training in restorative, yin, yoga nidra, trauma informed yoga and more.

As a Mom of a child with special needs, I understand the importance of self care and the precious value of your free time. The goal of my teaching is to not only lead a class that is accessible to people just as they are, but to also honor the many additional layers of yoga that are necessary to create a well rounded practice.  I do my best to provide opportunities for people to move past the physical aspect of yoga to find a deeper level of understanding of this practice and how it relates to them on their mat, and more importantly, when they walk out the door.

“Jill Barry is a true teacher/leader in her life, her trainings, and in her practice. She has worked hard to turn her grit into grace. She is a living example of a path with heart. She is a powerhouse of knowledge and is exceptionally well trained. I learn more from Jill in a few hours than some Master Teachers I’ve spent years studying. She is a true gem to have locally, and I would highly advise you soak her in like a sponge. On a cellular level- I love her dearly.”

Deanna completed her 200-hour YTT certification with UPY(Universal Power Yoga) in 2024. Her journey through teacher training was life-changing in every positive way. She gained a community of new friends, a deep connection to her mind, body, and soul, and she discovered a type of self-awareness she had never had before. Deanna strives to bring out that awareness in each of her students and prides herself on teaching with authenticity. Deanna went on to complete her 15-hour certification in Trauma Sensitive Yoga through UPY with Three and a Half Acres Yoga and Lara Land. She is also certified through the American Red Cross in Adult CPR, AED, and First Aid. Deanna is currently half way through her 300-hour YTT certification also with UPY.

Deanna currently teaches All Levels Vinyasa Flow, Slow Flow, Heated Power, and Restorative. She’s had the pleasure of offering workshops in her community and has also led a practice with high school student-athletes and a children's summer camp. Being a teacher brings her so much joy, but she will forever be a student. She loves to learn new styles, ideas, and concepts and integrate them into her classes.

When she’s not on her mat you may find her in the gym, enjoying a long outdoor walk or spending time with her 3 children and granddaughter. Deanna lives life with no regrets, her only wish is that she discovered yoga sooner!
