My Profile

Dana's passion is to bring people toghether in love & joy. She practices & teaches several forms of yoga to create unity. As a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher (CLYT), Dana has been teaching Laughter Yoga classes regularly since 2010. She did her advanced training with the founder of Laughter Yoga, Dr. Madan Kataria in 2015. She loves sharing the joys & health benefits of Laughter Yoga with all! She particularly likes the way all barriers of separation melt away as we connect to one another at a heart level, deeply perceiving our oneness. 

As an E-RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance, Dana specializes in teaching traditional Hatha Yoga for all levels. Her Hatha classes focus on proper alignment and mindful attention and breathwork. She also specializes in teaching Yin Yoga. Here she supports students in finding stillness, patience, acceptance & compassion as we go deep into the connective tissues of the hips & lower back. Connecting to a state of santosha (contentedness) is the common thread through all of Dana's asana classes. She has been a regular yoga practitioner since 1998 and a teacher since 2009.

A devotee of Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of the heart) and as an accomplished vocalist, Dana adores chanting the divine names. She is the leader of the Kirtan band, To Bring Devotion, based in Orlando, FL. Kirtan is the Bhakti Yoga practice of call & response devotional chanting. This beatiful practice steadies the mind & opens the heart to infinite love. She artfully combines contemporary, Western rock & pop original melodies with ancient, Eastern mantras.
