Dr. Dani Niaz, PhD

Dani Niaz, PhD, is a trauma-informed yoga instructor, ritual facilitator, and neurodivergent educator whose work centers on nervous system restoration and embodied healing. With a background in international education policy and over a decade of experience supporting learners with complex needs, Dani blends research, ritual, and radical softness into every offering. Her practice, NeuroNest Yoga, was created to hold space for those often left out of traditional wellness models—especially the neurodivergent, the chronically overwhelmed, and those recovering from trauma. Her classes emphasize sensory safety, emotional regulation, and deep nervous system care. Whether through gentle movement, breathwork, or intention-driven rest, Dani’s work invites practitioners to reconnect with themselves without pressure or performance. In a world that demands so much, her voice reminds students: healing begins when you feel safe enough to stay.
