Wellness for ocean lovers
If you love the ocean and nature, are interested in optimising your health and connecting to a group of likeminded saltwater loving souls: then welcome; you're in the right place.
My name is Dani (she/her), I live in Bournemouth a few minutes from the ocean. I love to be in or around the water, the solace it brings at times and community it draws together at others. I created ‘The Soulty Surfer’ in 2021. It combines my passion for wellness, surfing, meditation, yoga, cold water immersion and community, and a desire to share these things with others.
Practice with me
I’ll help you to feel more connected, confident and flexible in your body and mind. Supporting you on land and in the water
In my sessions, I combine fluidity of movement with breath and mindfulness, promoting strength and flexibility of mind and body. Together, we will cover breathwork, yoga postures ‘asanas’ and meditation, learning how to bring the fundamentals of mindfulness and spirituality to your life outside of sessions.
“Having practiced yoga on & off for over 20yrs I can honestly say Dani is one of the best teachers I've had. There's always options on poses for all levels, and because of Dani's humility and light hearted nature, the students in her classes reflect that too - so absolutely no judgement and super friendly. I honestly feel like a new man each week when I come out of her class!.”

WHY PRACTICE yoga?
YOGA Isn’t just about the body, it’s about calming the mind, BEING present and AN INQUIRY OF the now
BODY: STRENGTH + MOBILITY
The physical posture practice of yoga focuses on balance, strength and body awareness and encourages our bodies to be strong and healthy. In yoga we mobilise the joints, tone and stretch the muscles through active and passive engagement.
BREATH: PRANAYAMA + BREATHWORK
Pranayama is the practice of breath regulation; a main component of yoga. In Sanskrit, “prana” means life energy and “yama” means control. As well as breath exercise, we match breath to movement during a class, supporting our mental and physical state. We learn we can regulate mood and energy.
Stoke/ flow state
Yoga, meditation and surfing are activities that can completely absorb our focus, we may find ourselves fully immersed, and our busy minds quiten for a while. Regularly entering the "flow state of mind" enables us to be happier and more peaceful.
