DANNY O’BRIEN

Danny O’Brien
Danny O’Brien’s path has been a circuitous one. After moving to NYC over 26 years ago, the Western Massachusetts native (and former Marine) worked in the music business, broadcast news, graphic design and publishing before a freak scooter accident and casual lunchtime practice brought his true calling and passion to light. For the past decade, Danny has taught yoga through a therapeutic lens in a variety of settings—hospitals, PT offices, homes, offices and gyms—integrating yoga, meditation, Reiki and essential oils with contemplative care. In 2012, Danny helped implement the integrative therapy program at Beth Israel Medical Center. From 2005-2013, he was on the Integrative Medicine Team at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital, using yoga and meditation with HIV, stroke, post-op, and substance abuse patients. Danny is a graduate and mentor of the Urban Zen Integrative Therapist Program with Rodney Yee & Colleen Saidman Yee, and completed the Professional Integrative Yoga Therapist Program with Joseph and Lilian Le Page. He’s registered RYT-500 with the Yoga Alliance.
