Testimonials
"She is wise beyond her years."
Dana is wise beyond her years. She’s soft-spoken she is extremely easy to follow, she gives modifications, her music and voice through her Bluetooth headphones works beautifully through zoom, she’s kind, she’s inspiring. All of her readings are spot on. She’s gentle, you feel safe, and I would highly recommend her classes. Her language, delivery, and explanations of themes are thought provoking. She suggests an intention for the week and encourages you to practice and bring it with you.

"Dana's gentle teaching allows a calm opening and deep relaxation."
"I’ve been fortunate to take yoga with Dana for a while now. I know I will rest, relax, reset and be ready for a new week. Dana has a true gift of intertwining beautiful, spiritual readings with her yoga practice. She effortlessly weaves the messages in through the poses throughout each class in a way that allows my mind to grasp the concept and think about how it may be affecting me. The messages always resonate in some way. Each class is unique, and always includes the gentle reminder to listen to your body and take each pose as a suggestion. Dana’s gentle teaching allows a calm opening and deep relaxation. I always enjoy and feel calm and refreshed after. It’s a great tool for keeping my anxiety under control. I am so grateful for her classes and highly recommend for beginner through advanced!”

"Dana's yoga classes benefit my body and mind."
“Dana shows her human and compassionate style when teaching yoga. This creates a very
comfortable, safe and pleasant environment for me. I am reminded we are not perfect, and to appreciate my body and mind however it is showing up on my mat. Life is not a competition and I don’t have to feel bad about myself if I don’t ‘get a yoga pose a certain way. At the end of class I consistently feel stretched, open and rejuvenated. There is a sense of familiarity that immediately is an invitation to unwind and relax. This sense of peace is so beneficial to my nervous system. I find the stretching really beneficial. Dana's yoga classes benefit my body and mind.”
