Hi! I'm Lana, a passionate creative, teacher, educator, and photographer based in San Antonio, Texas. In my light-filled private studio, I host one-on-one lessons, yoga intensives, and provide mentorship guidance. I hold an E-RYT500 and YACEP. I began my personal practice in 2008 and have over 14 years of teaching experience. I am dedicated to working with students and teachers who are open to approaching the practice with genuine curiosity. My sequences are created with adventure and anatomy in mind; to lead you on an exploration into shape, breath, strength, mobility, flexibility and to gently go beyond the 'usual'. My instruction aims to lay a strong foundation for your practice that invites growth and helps you have a true understanding of how your body moves best. My hope is that this approach cultivates self-compassion and enthusiasm for movement while deepening your connection to Self both on-and-off the mat.

About Lana
Born in South Carolina into a big family, my life took a nomadic turn early on with multiple family moves. I spent my formative years in the greater Chicago area and it’s there that I started snapping pics and never stopped. I feel comfortable behind the lens and love the experience of chasing that indefinable ‘spark’ a great picture captures. Furthermore when curiosity led me to try out a community center yoga class, I discovered something else I could fall in love with, just like that! The simple pleasure of movement was born and I knew it was magical. While my understanding of the intricacies of practice have deepened through education, teaching, injuries and a committed personal practice I’m happy to report that, although my physical practice looks different than it used to, my delight remains and I still seek and feel the magic!
