As a lifelong practitioner and certified yoga teacher, I tend to be a bit picky about which yoga classes to attend. Dana is one of the best teachers I know – she creates a challenging yet accessible class, and imparts yogic wisdom seamlessly as she guides her students through well-sequenced asana. In Dana’s classes, I’ve strengthened my foundational poses as well as learned advanced postures I had not had the courage to try before. I always leave more focused and energized thanks to the knowledge and skill she brings to her teaching. – Rachel Humphrey, CYT 500 and Program Director for Bay Area Justice Funders Network
I met Dana several years ago and have found her classes to be just what my soul craves. Dana’s genuine love of yoga, and her peaceful spirit shine through in the way she teaches vinyasa. I value the careful time she dedicates to sequencing each asana practice, and the balance she strikes between stretching and strengthening poses. Dana teaches us to hold space for all levels of yogis, and allows each student to move with their own breath. Yoga with Dana is never formulaic, but feels rather like a dance. She brings something new each week, sprinkling in just the right amount of yogic wisdom. Thank you, Dana. Namaste. – Tracy Davis, New Business Development Manager, Materials & Catalysts at Chevron
Dana has taught me how to elevate my practice and have a more meaningful experience on the mat. She seamlessly weaves authentic themes into class in order to create a safe space where transformation can happen. Dana pushes me to my edge while holding acceptance for my body’s limitations. She also keeps poses fresh and fun! I love her teaching. – Babette Dunkelgrün, Fitness Professional
I’m sensitive to the energies of yoga teachers, so when there is that teacher that has that just right mix, I am ever grateful. Dana’s classes are built for multi levels of experience. The more advanced students are well served as well as the beginners. She has a reassuring touch for occasional corrections. Her dedication to learning and deepening her practice and her teaching is palpable. When we say our mutual Namastes at the end of class, they are mutually heartfelt. – Sheri Cooper, President and Owner at Fifth Plane Associates
Dana is the real deal – calm confidence and joyful wisdom. Her experience as an opera singer and artist can be felt in every class she teaches. Dana’s classes skillfully weave music, movement and philosophy into an experience that leaves her students feeling blissed out and balanced! -Lesley Desaulniers, Senior Teacher and Yoga Studio Owner
