In January 2000 D'ana moved to Alpine, UT, where she now runs her very popular "Alpine Yoga" studio. D'ana has been influenced by many master teachers, studying varied forms of Yoga under such master teachers as: John Friend (Anusara), Gary Kraftsow (Viniyoga), Nancy Gilgoff (Astanga), Ana Forrest (Forrest Yoga), Bikram Choudhury (Yoga College of India), and Walt and Magana Baptiste (Baptiste Method of Yoga). She believes in taking the best from each discipline to create an effective, nurturing, challenging, and transforming yoga experience. When she is not teaching yoga, she learns much about life from playing with her three boys. She brings to her teaching a wealth of experience, insight and humility which reaches far beyond the confines of her yoga class.
