“I started taking prenatal yoga classes here a few months ago and the space and teachers are wonderful! At the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, the owner quickly moved all classes to Zoom and is continuing with the full schedule. I'm so grateful as pregnant people need yoga more than ever in this crazy time. Highly recommend!”

“I started with Ready Set Grow with my 2nd baby at their brick-and-mortar location in Portland--as a new mom in those hazy, sometimes horrible first 100 days, it was refreshing to come to class with other new moms, our babes, and Daniele. Daniele creates this unique fusion of yoga, pilates and subtle dance techniques to gently and effectively help new moms get their acts together and heal their bodies from the craziness of childbirth. She has decades of dance experience, lots of training as a yoga instructor and pre/postpartum instructor, has *almost* 3 kids of her own and really melds all of that into a unique teaching method and style that is all her own.” continued >

“I really appreciate that Daniele is so REAL as a teacher, and practical (not all yoga chiming music here, as well as some profanity--she speaks my language!). She also pays attention to her clients and tailors each class to the people in the room. I am not personally one for exercise classes and have only dabbled in yoga--I truly feel that my work with Danielle (especially the Core Rebuild class) helped to not only reconnect me with my body after childbirth but strengthened me overall. I'm back now--I did classes for the year I took for maternity leave, then went back to work full time for 2 years--and, thanks to COVID-19, ZOOM, and being home, have the time to join her classes again. I don't have babies anymore but still feel the toll motherhood has taken on my body. My 5 year old loves the yoga classes with Whitney and I'm back in Core Rebuild, retraining my body on how to take care of itself.”

“I Highly recommend this knowledgeable instructor for her experience and expertise in pregnancy/postpartum yoga. I attended a few prenatal yoga classes with Daniele and her class helped me feel relaxed and ready for birth. 8 weeks after giving birth to my son, I made my first mommy and me yoga class. I was late and in tears that I can't seem to get anywhere with a baby on time. Daniele was so caring and understanding, she took my anxiety about time and replaced it with love, laughter and warmth.”

“Daniele is amazing and passionate about what she does. Her passion is evident in every class for both the children you bring and you. She is a hands on instructor who isn't afraid to help you get into a stretch or get down on the mat and show you herself. Not only is this class a blast, the support from the other moms is astounding. I would recommend this class to everyone, with or without children.”

“I have taken prenatal and baby and me yoga classes at Ready Set Grow and I would highly recommend them. In addition to helping your body prepare for and recover from birth, this is also a place for parents to come together and share their experiences about pregnancy, birth and parenting with each other. Daniele is an amazing person, teacher and listener and she has tons of resources and information for pregnant people and new parents.”
