Deanna Green, Owner & Lead Instructor at Shambhala Yoga & Dance Center

Owner & Lead Instructor

Deanna Green

Deanna discovered yoga while seeking relief from chronic back pain. What began as physical therapy became a transformative journey that led her to become a certified instructor.

She took ownership of Shambhala in honor of both founder Cathy Calderon's vision and her late mother's commitment to community service. Deanna believes yoga should be accessible, welcoming, and joyful for everyone.
