      Teacher Bios

      Derrick "DJ" Townsel, a former NFL athlete, is now an Orlando-based personal trainer, health coach, and yoga instructor.

      Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Derrick was extremely athletic throughout his childhood and adolescence. His hard work and tenacity propelled him to a full scholarship playing football at Murray State University as a 4-year starter, and then on to the NFL with the Houston Texans from 2010-2011. Following his time with the Houston Texans, 2 other NFL organizations and 2 other professional leagues (AFL and CFL), Derrick found his passion helping others realize their physical and mental potential through personal training.

      Inspired by amazing individuals on Instagram, Derrick began practicing yoga in 2012. Not entirely comfortable practicing in public at the time, Derrick became a self-taught yogi in the middle of his living room. He followed online sessions and studied the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects and history of yoga. Derrick has now become an inspiration to thousands who didn't think a passion for fitness or yoga could be a possibility for them, mainly men and people of color. Derrick is now a sought-after 200-Hour Certified Yoga Instructor, Acrobatic Yoga Instructor, Certified Personal Trainer, and Level 2 WCO Calisthenics Instructor in Central Florida.

      Channeling his West Indian ancestry, always listening to Bob Marley while he practices yoga, and his signature crown of locked hair, Derrick has become known to the yoga community as the "Rasta Yogi".

      I found myself again in Greece. And I couldn't have done that without this retreat and the wonderful people I met over there. The food was fantastic, the resort was breathtaking, not to mention the beach you could walk to and the caves that were easily marked to hike and were nearby. I'm so incredibly grateful to Daniela and Adzenture for letting me part of such an amazing experience!

      An exceptional experience filled with great and positive energy. Everyone came with open arms thanks to Daniela + team for creating a safe and easy space. It only made me want to stay for more…🤗😁 Thanks as well to Dee for her way of moving a class and her awareness that she brings to each student. Every class of Dee’s is the best I’ve had and highly recommend both the experience with Adzenture and Dee !!

      Well organized retreat with a combination of yoga for the mind and soul and leisure to be able to immerse in the local culture food and people . Bravo to Daniella for creating a wonderful experience that each and everyone of us can bring back home to cherish.
