Denise Mussell, LPTA,CMT

Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, Certified Massage Therapist Owner - Senior Yoga Instructor

Having studied the ancient art of yoga and wellness for more than four decades Denise presents a depth of understanding and education with a variety of traditional and non-traditional forms of fitness to her practice. She empowers her students with a measure of insight into the freedom and control achieved with the calming steadiness of yoga. “The body follows the mind” – and in today’s fast-paced multi-tasking lifestyle finding a vehicle through which relaxation and health can be restored is vital. “Yoga is this vehicle and self-mastery the way to optimize our human experience”.

Preceding her Applied Science Degree in Physical Therapy Denise had the privilege of working for Col. Jack R. Lousma, Astronaut, President, and founder of the Consortium for International Earth Science and Information Network (CIESIN) as its Art Director/Graphic Designer.

She produced a briefing report on “Building America’s Information Highways” for The Clinton-Gore Administration Commitment to Rebuild America in 1993. She was honored with the most informative booth award for her display representing the United States at the Earth Summit in Rio de’Janeiro.
