Debbie is the owner/director of Inner Dance Yoga Center and is a registered teacher with Yoga Alliance.
Always fascinated by the body/mind connection, Debbie has spent most of her life exploring movement and the bio-mechanics of the body. After 25 years of performing, teaching, choreographing, and directing her own dance company, in 1999 she made a shift toward the healing path of yoga. This transition continues to be an inspiring discovery of ways to create more life, love, energy and expression in and through the body, mind and spirit.
Debbie has been a dedicated student of the ever – evolving work of master teacher, Doug Keller for the past seventeen years. It is with heartfelt gratitude that she thanks Doug and all of her teachers and with joy and creativity shares the practice with others. Her classes are based on integrating alignment and intuition, strength and fluidity, and meditation and motion. While she provides a format for the countless benefits of physical exercise, Debbie prefers to offer an exploratory “work-in” rather than a simple “work-out”.

Mari Jo loves connecting with women during their pregnancy journey. This natural time of introspection allows women with the right support to hone their intuition and find their own power so they can discover themselves in new ways, to identify their strengths, and find balance in all things, throughout their pregnancy and into motherhood.
Mari Jo is certified as a HypnoBirthing, the Mongan Method, childbirth instructor as well as a prenatal yoga instructor.
With a type A personality, Mari Jo believes her discovery of yoga led her down a path of self discovery, healthy living and balance she might not otherwise have chosen, a path that allowed her to achieve a natural pregnancy and delivery of her son, in 2010 after a long infertility struggle. Mari Jo currently teaches the prenatal yoga class at Inner Dance Yoga on Wednesday evenings.
Mari Jo has two children, ages 8 and 5 and lives in Oakwood. She loves baking, walking, reading, discovering new recipes, making pretty things and a great beach vacation. A Stay-at-home mom, Mari Jo is a freelance writer and operates her own marketing consulting business by day and teaches HypnoBirthing and yoga by night.

Dana first embarked upon her yoga journey in 2006 on the advice of her physician who recommended yoga to ease the stress and anxiety associated with her work for a large corporation. But Dana found so much more than a stress relief tool. She began to notice that her perspective on life, her relationships with others, and most of all, her relationship with herself became more mindful, more peaceful, and more joyful. Dana completed her 200 hour Teacher Training at Inner Dance Yoga Center in 2014.
Upon retirement from corporate life in 2015, she was free to pursue her passion to bring the practice of yoga to those who feel that yoga is something they could never do — due to age, a physical limitation, or simply lack of confidence. Dana teaches chair yoga at Inner Dance Yoga Center. In addition, she teaches chair yoga and facilitates other wellness activities at local senior residential communities.
Becky discovered the benefits of yoga practice about 13 years ago after moving back to the Dayton area once completing college. Becky has always loved being around babies and working with children so after utilizing her teaching degree for several years it made sense to start a family of her own. Becky continued her yoga practice throughout pregnancy participating in a prenatal class and was amazed with the ease of childbirth that seemed due to the strength and breath control of her yoga practice. When Becky decided to be a stay-at-home Mom she was thrilled to be able to continue her practice in a Mommy and Me yoga class. The class quickly became an important part of the week with friendships made and the community feel. Becky feels honored to keep the Mommy and Me class part of Inner Dance Yoga Center and promote a piece of a healthy lifestyle to both children and other Moms.
