About the host
Hosted by Desirae Pierce
Desirae shone in ballet from age three, securing a lead role in the Nutcracker at six with the Fort Worth City Ballet Company. She balanced competitive sports and the arts through high school and college. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, she ventured into creative marketing and opened her graphic design studio, American Pie Design, Inc., in 1993. Yoga became her stress relief from corporate life, and she embraced Baptiste Power Vinyasa and Anusara Yoga for their spiritual aspects. In 2006, she opened Breath and Body Yoga in Austin, Texas, establishing a top-tier teacher training school. She works with University of Texas sports teams, enhancing their strength, flexibility, and alignment. Today, she teaches, tours, and trains, merging vinyasa flow with alignment.
