Dana is the only instructor in Valparaiso who has studied exclusively within the Iyengar system for more than 27 years. She continues daily training with Manouso Manos, the most senior Iyengar trained teacher in the country, and has followed Sri HS Arun of Banglore . She has also studied with the Iyengars at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India. She is grateful to her first teacher, Pablo Jimenez, for introducing her to this most challenging gift and to Marge LaMothe for being her unparalleled mentor for over 20 years. Dana’s knowledge and excellent humor help her lead students through well-balanced, challenging and meaningful yoga classes.
