Spending 200 hours learning yoga philosophy, how to teach asana and how to live our yoga under Dana’s tutelage through the Atha moniker has been truly inspiring and transformative.  She has created a program filled with love and support firmly anchored in the sacred yogic teachings.  Our group became a family, fully committed to loving and supporting one another to become exceptional teachers.  This program has provided us with the tools and knowledge to teach yoga, not just asana, to everybody and every body.  It has been a profound honor to study alongside these incredibly beautiful souls.

Taking this yoga teaching journey feels like coming home. Now, I cannot picture my life or my purpose without it and without yoga. My gratitude feels too immense to express; it can only be felt, sent wordlessly.
There is so much I couldn’t have fathomed at the beginning of this journey: the way I would love being a student, again, but a student in a classroom that is not rigid, but one that seeks to free its students. One that seeks to point them within themselves and say, “That is the way.” I couldn’t have fathomed what I’ve learned about myself. The way I would cherish the physical practice in community. And, of course, the way each of you (meaning all the teachers and fellow students) would move me, grow me, and show me love and support in ways I never imagined.
I would like to say I am a different person, but I am not: instead, I am more truly who I am.

Atha Yoga Training at Afterglow Yoga was a fabulously designed course, with amazing teachers who provide guidance and support every step of the way. Dana is an incredible instructor who possesses great knowledge, but also has genuine care & concern for her students. An added bonus was making new friends who quickly became more like family. I was initially hesitant to embark on the YTT journey, but I’m so happy I decided to go for it, and I’m even happier that I did it with Atha!

This program was life-changing! It was everything I imagined and then some. The course material was very well-rounded and touched on so many deeper aspects of yoga. There was also enough time budgeted for practice teaching to feel comfortable and confident going forth into the world. Then there is Dana who is a radiant light guiding us all on the journey to a more powerful practice. 10/10 would recommend this training to anyone considering it. Take the leap!

Dana is an amazing teacher. Her passion and dedication for yoga is so incredible and contagious. She was so inspiring and you can tell she put all of her heart and soul into this training. Whenever I tell my yoga teacher friends, who took other YTT, they are blown away by how in-depth this training goes and how thorough it is. It was such a pleasure to learn under Dana and she truly wants to see all of her students succeed. Dana was my first ever yoga teacher and steered me into the direction to take this course, and I am so happy I did. It really was a life changing experience and I can’t wait to share my knowledge I learned from her out into the world. Can not recommend it enough!
