A 25-Year Legacy

Dana Damara has been in this practice for over 25 years and still understands the power of being a forever student.

Dana Damara has certified thousands of teachers, across multiple states, and has touched hundreds of retreat centers around the world. Her path began in Vancouver, Washington, where yoga became the anchor that calmed a restless heart and healed a traumatic past. That personal transformation became a lifelong mission: empowering others to find the same freedom through movement, breath, and embodied practice.

"I'm about empowerment. My passion is giving YOU the space to own your gifts and use them in your life." — Dana Damara

What Our Community Is Saying

Dana has the ability to see my strengths and gifts, often before I do

She has been brilliant at supporting me to realize and refine those unique qualities and really lead everything I do from that place of awake, authentic power. In short, she has been the reminder of truth and love."

— Korie

Dana is one of the most authentic and connected teachers I've ever worked with.

Her dedication and heart-centered offerings are inspiring — and it is clear she lives her yoga on and off the mat. I would recommend her as a teacher and mentor to anyone looking to deepen not only their yoga practice, but also their relationship to themselves and the world.

Dana created such a safe container for me to learn and grow.

I was given the opportunity to dig deeper into my practice, my teaching, and into myself. At the intersection of fear, anxiety and tears—I began to shed the layers of my past self. As I cracked my outer shell and dropped my inner stories, I felt a shift….there's no going back only forward!!"
