Wonders of Wellness

With over 20 years of extensive experience in the banking and finance industry, I am an accomplished leader with a deep understanding of financial products, market trends, and strategic planning. Throughout my career, I had worked with large corporate companies across various industries, including large healthcare companies reach their strategic growth plans. In addition to my professional achievements, I am an enthusiast in health, fitness, and overall well-being. I believe that paying attention to your fitness, well-being, and mindset is an important investment in yourself, building equity for the long term. I obtained my NASM Certification in Personal Training and find it rewarding coaching others in fitness. My journey in health and wellness has allowed me to connect with people on a personal level, helping them achieve their own fitness goals.

I'm Dena Nguyen, a certified yoga instructor and a Senior Associate at KPMG specializing in Organizational Change Management and Training. My yoga journey began over 10 years ago, seeking physical benefits, but it evolved into discovering the profound impact on mental wellbeing and personal transformation. This transformative experience led me to become a certified instructor three years ago, allowing me to share these powerful practices with others. Through my practice and teaching, I've cultivated deep gratitude and compassion, qualities that naturally complement my professional work in helping organizations and individuals navigate change. Just as I guide organizations through transformational journeys in my corporate role, I'm deeply committed to creating an inviting yoga environment where practitioners of all levels can thrive. My unique background in both wellness and organizational change allows me to understand how mindfulness and intentional movement can support personal growth and professional development. I'm excited to share these transformative practices with the ASCEND API community, bringing together my passion for yoga and my expertise in facilitating meaningful change. Whether on the mat or in the workplace, I believe in creating spaces where people feel supported, empowered, and inspired to grow.
