Dana Schachter
Dana believes the body is our best teacher and through greater physical connection we can achieve healthier ways of being in the world. Dana’s peaceful presence and solid understanding of the body promote a safe and nurturing environment to open the body, heart, and mind. She calls upon yoga, pranayama, meditation, and her work as a massage therapist for guidance in all aspects of her work. Her yoga practice of more than ten years acts as a constant source of inspiration in her life. Dana's approach to yoga is grounded in the heart and physical alignment principles of Anusara with a graceful flow.

Dana is a certified Anusara yoga teacher.  She credits Corina Benner, of Wake Up Yoga in Philadelphia, for providing her with a strong platform on which to stand as a teacher, completing her 250-hour Vinyasa teacher training in the winter of 2002/03. A year later while exploring the oceans and rainforests of Costa Rica, Dana savored her first taste of Anusara yoga. Anusara’s heartfelt approach and strong emphasis on alignment spoke to her in body, mind, and spirit. She returned to the States six months later and teacher trained with certified Anusara teachers Sianna Sherman and Mitchel Bleier. She continues to tread along this path studying with Anusara founder John Friend and has been blessed to study closely with and assist Sianna Sherman. (www.anusura.com) Dana's nurturing spirit has led her to expand into teaching Prenatal yoga and one-on-one Yoga Therapy. In her pursuits of the healing arts through yoga and massage therapy, she hopes to assist others in accessing the wisdom that lies within.
