"Dana's yoga flows are incredibly creative! Her teaching style is wonderful, with a voice that's soothing and guidance that's both gentle and effective. She offers so many options and is always ready to assist, ensuring each of us can explore and grow at our own pace. Dana strikes the perfect balance between encouraging us to step out of our comfort zones and reminding us to listen to our bodies. I never saw myself as a yoga enthusiast, but Dana's classes have changed that. Attending three times a week now brings me peace and helps me connect with myself. I love how she integrates meaningful themes and sets intentions that motivate and guide us through the practice. And her music choices are just fantastic!"

Isn’t it funny how we all once dreamed of a big career, a busy life, more money, more things, more of everything…

And now we’re here, realizing all we really want is a slow, quiet life.

To wake up without rushing.
To be close to nature.
To create things with our own hands.
To grow our own food, create our own little world, spend time outside and do what the hell we actually want.

Less chasing. Less consuming. Less proving.

More living. More making. More being.

Julyyy - healing…

#july #wtf #tb #moments #cameraroll

When I first practiced yoga, I came for the body. And I stayed for the SELF!🤍

Trusting the process is easy when life makes sense.
The real practice begins when it doesn’t.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as a teacher is that not everyone will resonate with the way you teach.
And that’s not failure.

For a long time, I questioned everything.

Did I say too much?
Not enough?
Was the class too challenging?
Too gentle?
Should I explain more philosophy?
Or less?

But over time I realized that trying to be liked by everyone slowly takes you further away from yourself.

People don’t come back because you’re perfect.

They come back because they connect with the way you make them feel, the way you share the practice and the authenticity behind your teaching.

Keep studying.
Keep practicing.
Keep refining.

But don’t lose your own voice in the process.

The practice teaches us to move toward truth, not approval.

And the teachers who stay true to themselves will always find the students they’re meant to teach.🤍

Honestly: I didn’t get into teaching yoga because of the career path. I did it because of what happened to me during that journey and what has kept me on the mat ever since. I experienced what it actually means to turn the focus inwards and to find my purpose in life.
Once you experience that shift in awareness, you realize it’s not something you can just keep to yourself.
That is the only reason I teach. I’m not here to show you how to do perfect poses. My goal is simply to hold space for you and experience that same shift for yourself.

#yoga #yogajourney #yogapath #yogateacher #yogainspiration

People don’t always act from love.

Often, they act from fear.

Fear of conflict.
Fear of vulnerability.
Fear of intimacy.
Fear of feeling.

Sometimes it looks like control.
Sometimes like certainty.
Sometimes like silence.
Sometimes like walking away before vulnerability has a chance to ask something of us.

The challenge is to become aware enough that fear no longer makes our decisions - how we love, communicate & move through life.

There’s nothing wrong with coming to yoga because you want to feel better.

In fact, that’s how many of us begin.

We seek less stress.
A calmer mind.
A body that feels good again.

But over time, the practice gently reveals something deeper.

It’s misunderstood when we think that’s all it’s offering.

The practice doesn’t teach us to avoid discomfort.
It teaches us to stay with it.

To breathe when things become challenging.
To observe instead of immediately reacting.
To realize that discomfort isn’t always something that needs to be fixed.

We simply change the way we meet it and it becomes about how you move through life.

That’s where yoga leaves the mat.

A sequence I taught recently, focussing on shoulder stability & upper body strength 🤸🏼‍♀️

Give it a try 🫶🏼

#yoga #yogapractice #yogainspiration #yogateacher #yogainnsbruck

The truth is, starting is often the hardest part - not because Yoga is difficult, but because we have excuses & we think we need to have everything figured out before we begin.

You DON‘T!

The first step is simply rolling out your mat. Everything else can grow from there.

Healthy shoulders love variety.
Here are a few of my fav shoulder mobility drills to explore range, build control & keep them smooth.

Your shoulders might enjoy these too 🤍

I often hear the same thing:

“I would love to do yoga, but I’m not flexible enough.”
“I’d join, but I’m not calm enough yet.”
“I should probably wait until I’m stronger / more ready / more disciplined.”

The idea that you need to be flexible, calm, strong, or “ready” belongs more to expectation than to the practice itself.

Yoga starts with what is already here.

Stiff body.
Busy mind.
Uncertainty.
Resistance.

Not as something to fix first, but as the place the practice begins. So what are you waiting for?

#yoga #yogajourney #yogapractice #awareness #yogateacher

In the yogic tradition, the physical practice was never the final destination. The body was prepared so it could sit or lie in stillness/meditation without becoming a distraction.

Because eventually, yoga asks us to turn our attention inward.

And that is where the real challenge begins.

In Shavasana, there is nothing to achieve.
Nothing to perfect.
Nothing to perform.

The body becomes still.

And we are invited to witness whatever remains!

#yoga #yogajourney #yogapractice #yogalife #yogateacher

From this mornings practice.
Not every posture teaches flexibility.

Some teach patience.
Some teach humility.
Some teach acceptance.

And those are usually the ones I need most!

#yoga #yogapractice #yogajourney #yogateacher #yogaasana

For many people, yoga starts & ends on the mat.
But…the real practice doesn’t stop when class ends.

The mat gives us a place to practice presence, awareness, non-attachment, and so on.

Life gives us the opportunity to live them!

So while yoga may look like poses from the outside, its impact reaches far beyond them.

It follows us into our relationships, our work, our challenges & our everyday lives.

And that’s what makes yoga so much more than movement! 🫶🏼

Be honest, teachers… what’s missing?🫠

#yogateacher #pov #yoga #yogalife #yogajourney

A small reminder for the days we question ourselves as teachers: we were never here to create perfect postures or perfect experiences. We create space for awareness, self-study, presence and practice.

Hips like Honey - 7 of my fav mobility drills I keep coming back to again and again

For others it’s the coffee in the morning. For me, it’s the crack in my hip 🧘🏼‍♀️

#yoga #yogapractice #yogajourney #morningroutine #yogateacher

Teaching doesn’t mean having everything figured out.
It means being willing to stay curious, to keep learning and to guide from a place of honesty - not perfection.

I’m not here because I can do everything.
I’m here because I understand, practice and keep showing up.
