Leadership and Yoga Deanna Di Carlo - Dedica: Phoenix Moments & Yoga Roots, BTS Part 1
Join Shawna Krueger for a special interview with Deanna Di Carlo, also known as Dedica in the online world. In part one of this interview, Dea opens up about her background getting started teaching yoga, and behind the scenes of how she’s risen stronger after experiencing extreme anxiety and a medical emergency that required her to start from zero. Tune in to hear how her style and teaching philosophy developed largely without influence and the origin story behind “Dedica.”
Next week in part two, you’ll hear the whole story of how Dea has turned lemons into lemonade on a life-changing level. You don’t want to miss it.
