Hi I’m Dawnelle

At the peak of my 12 year yoga and fitness career, as the owner of four Cycle/ Yoga Studios in Denver, and a mom to a young son I was told (at age 41) I needed to have both of my hips replaced.

The doctor advised me hold off surgery for a year or two and to manage the pain through physical therapy, prescription medication, steroid shots, and a career change!

Instead, I refused medication, skipped the steroid shots, and made a career-pivot. I stepped off the yoga mat, stopped teaching yoga, and started creating AgeDEFY.

After years of learning from My hip pain and creating the AgeDEFY method, I had both hips replaced in 2020 & now my mission is to teach AgeDEFY to everyone!
