Yoga with Dana
Yoga built around your psoas, your fascia, and your nervous system. A way to move out of survival mode and back into a body that feels safe.
Millions of people suffer from chronic lower back pain, hip tightness, and fatigue rooted in a chronically shortened psoas, the body's deepest hip flexor. Modern sedentary living, stress, and trauma all deposit tension in the psoas and surrounding fascia. Most yoga content never addresses this with the precision it deserves.
Release & Restore fills that gap. Dana brings anatomical depth, somatic awareness, and genuine warmth to every session. This is for anyone ready to genuinely heal, not just stretch through it.
For years, your body has held on.
Now, breath by breath, it softens.
Release the psoas. Come home to yourself.
Targeted sequences designed to release tension from your deepest hip flexor, where chronic sitting, stress, and unprocessed emotion all accumulate.
Slow, sustained techniques that work with your body's connective tissue system to restore genuine mobility and dissolve long-held holding patterns.
Every session explains the why behind each stretch. You'll understand your body and trust the practice. Knowledge that compounds over time.
Designed for beginners, seniors, post-injury practitioners, and desk workers. No performance pressure. Just you, your breath, and the practice.
Dana is a certified yoga instructor specialising in psoas release, fascia therapy, and somatic movement. Her approach blends the science of connective tissue with the warmth of a trusted guide.
Think of her as the physiotherapist who also does yoga, someone who takes your body seriously and helps you actually heal, not just stretch through the pain.
Most of us are stuck in fight or flight. You feel it as tight hips, a braced back, a jaw that will not unclench, a mind that will not switch off.
The Dana Method is the bridge from that survival state back to a body that feels safe, free, and alive. Not through willpower. Through the body. It is an eight week journey that moves you, one breath at a time, from holding on to letting go.
