Dana Yeminy began practicing yoga as a method of relieving stress, and it quickly became an integral part of her life. She found that it not only served as a wonderful means of calming the mind and body, but also brought an unparalleled sense of centeredness to her life.

Looking to deepen her practice and learn how to teach others, she traveled to Bali to complete her first 200 hour certification course in the Ashtanga Style of yoga. She enjoyed this physically demanding style, but found that many people (including herself) injured themselves through the rigorous practice.

She came to Atmananda Yoga to take classes, and found that the sequence consisted of a Vinyasa style that is the perfect blend of both Ashtanga and Iyengar styles, and is designed especially to protect the joints while still maintaining the challenging level of practice. After taking the 200 hour teacher training here, she is able to use her knowledge of both Ashtanga and the Atmananda sequence to cultivate safe, challenging, and engaging classes for all levels.

Dana’s yoga practice and study of yoga philosophy and Ayurveda has enhanced all aspects of her life, and she truly enjoys sharing her knowledge and love of yoga with all who wish to learn!
