MEET DANI

Dani Reidy is a mother, teacher, and the founder of Arrow Yoga. She lives in Hampden, Baltimore, and is deeply rooted in the community she serves.

A 500-hour E-RYT, Dani has taught thousands of hours of yoga around the world since 2013. She began her practice through Baptiste Yoga, drawn to the intensity of asana, but quickly fell in love with the deeper dimensions of the practice—its philosophy, energetics, and power to reprogram the subconscious mind. Her work bridges ancient wisdom with modern tools to help students live more liberated, intentional lives.

With a background in dance, Dani brings a refined understanding of movement—blending biomechanics with the expressive rhythm of breath and body. Her classes are intelligently sequenced and energetically attuned, offering vinyasa, restorative, or yin practices that invite inquiry, depth, and transformation.

Dani is a lifelong student. She continues to study under Ally Bogard and has trained with renowned teachers including Baron Baptiste, Elena Brower, Rod Stryker, Janet Stone, Abbie Galvin, Anodea Judith, and many more. She is also a certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher under Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, with a deep commitment to Buddhist-inspired practices of awareness and compassion. Her certifications span Tantra, meditation, yoga nidra, prenatal yoga, and chakra psychology.

Arrow Yoga was created from Dani’s desire to be of service—to support others through compassionate awareness, meaningful connection, and the transformative tools of yoga.

Accredited through Yoga Alliance in 2020, Arrow offers trainings, workshops, and immersive experiences that make the ancient teachings accessible, relevant, and embodied.

Since 2015, Dani has led over 25 international retreats across 15+ countries—from Iceland to Indonesia—offering students the opportunity to travel with purpose. With a background in Anthropology, she weaves movement, rest, reflection, and culture into every journey.

At home in Baltimore, Dani lives with her husband, their two sons, James and Rowan, and their rescue cats, Bo and Mick. She considers motherhood her most profound and humbling practice of all.

"My yoga practice led me to the discovery that I have every opportunity to align with the version of myself that I always desired. I learned that my practice was not a matter of doing; striving to be someone different; but was of remembering the me that already was, and is, whole and complete. I searched a lifetime looking for answers to all of my questions, wondering why life was happening to me, feeling stuck in fear, lost in uncertainty and doubt.

It wasn't until I learned to expand my perspective, ask different questions, and truly listen, that my life and my suffering transformed. Yoga offered me an outlet to develop trust in myself, resiliency in moments of challenge, and ultimately to train my attention to stay in presence, so that I could learn to live less out of habit and more out of conscious choice.

I understand this work, this heart work, is the work of my life time yet, I am grateful that I now have tools and a technique that I can reference to create support and trust in all that is unknown. This practice offers us a map to self understanding and is the compass to guide us forwards. I am so honored that we've found each other to share in this practice, together."

Love, Dani

It is a shared commitment to service that creates something truly powerful. Our team is the heart of Arrow.
