Denise Cook truly speaks from her heart and shares her knowledge of the inner connection we have with the universe. She brings compassion, energy, playfulness and laughter to every class. Denise has enriched my practice in so many ways!

Denise is a very caring and extremely knowledgeable yoga teacher. As a martial artist for about 30 years, I have encountered many seekers of the way. Denise truly exhibits what it means to seek without seeking, to relax and be genuine. Her classes are well structured yet flow with ease and extreme care for students. Recently retiring from the competitive circuit, I desired to change my personal training regimen. Denise turned me on to a style of yoga called yin and it is now one of my passions. Her classes are very engaging on all levels and often entertaining! Both qualities reflect her voracity for learning and her witty humor.

Denise's classes are safe and well planned with a challenging all levels peak pose. She has deep knowledge of the body and is conscious when she verbally and offers hands on assists. Her dharma talks are spoken about current topics as well as yogic philosophy with light and sensativity . Did I say FUN and PLAYFUL!!!

Denise is the best yoga instructor I have ever worked with. The strength, flexibility, and focus we developed with Denise were instrumental in helping our team (University of Denver Ski Team) capture our 21st NCAA National Championship in 2010. Thank you!

Hi Denise, I want to thank you again for an amazing week. This is the first time I have ever done a week-long cleanse and I found it challenging but so rewarding! I normally eat close to a vegatarian diet but with this cleanse I could definitely see some cracks in it . The Yin Yoga as well as a hip-opener was an eye-opener, even though it is some of the most difficult asana practice I have ever done. Thank you for that also.

Gretchen and I started back to Yoga locally on this side of town. You remain the best yoga teacher on the planet, we miss you terribly and thank you for teaching us the very basic skills so that we can further our yoga practice with a strong belief in ourselves. For all those students you are helping now, they have no idea how much you will impact their lives. Namaste Denise.

I live in Nome, Alaska, a small town of about 3, 000 people that is 500 miles form the nearest yoga studio. I discovered your Alive Yoga classes on the Internet and want to let you know how much I enjoy and appreciate them. I try to do 6 days a week and your presentation and instructions are still fresh and buoyant even after many repetitions. Thank you so much,

Pete

I just had my first class with Denise and it was awesome! She was kind of funny too!

A wonderful teacher and mentor.

Denise, the yoga practice and all your encouragement to explore our boundaries of the body, mind and soul is irreplaceable.

Denises gift is she can take any yogi, at various stages in their practice, and help them to the next level. She teaches from a connection of the mind, body and heart, and sees where a student is blocked and needs help. She guides with love and confidence, and is an inspiration to fellow teachers. Denise knows what it is to be a student first, a teacher second, and to live with an open heart. Thank you so much!

Denise brings to her studios the highest degrees of whole-hearted acceptance, interconnectedness, and light. She will advance your practice, and she will be your friend.

Yours is a gift to be shared. Many thanks for your friendship and caring ways.

Its been awhile but you have been in my thoughts. Beginning to practice yoga has brought change in thoughts & values that has helped me tremendously at this point in my life. It has also created some conflict-it is often difficult for me to run a business that is at odds with many of the lessons I have learned in my practice. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be for you. Mostly just want you to know that your influence has been far reaching for me. You have touched my soul.
