Dana Spano began practicing yoga in 2001 at the start of her fitness journey and as a way to manage stress, anxiety, and depression. As she began to reap the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits, she knew she wanted to share the gift of yoga with others. She certified at The New Age Center in Nyack, NY under master teacher Paula Heitzner. Having taught in a variety of settings through the years, Dana is most comfortable these days instructing the yoga she mainly practices- gentle Hatha. As a multi-sport ultra endurance athlete she uses her practice to train, to recover, and to always engage in good sportsmanship with other competitors. Dana welcomes all to practice with her as gently as they need as well as to add in challenging asana as desired.
