Prasadana - Private Yoga & Massage Therapy

I came to Dana with very bad back and hip pain in May of 2007 and she has been teaching me yoga ever since. She is a great practitioner of yoga - prepared to go at my pace, but also pushing me to work hard at becoming more flexible and focus on my breathing. Since I started working with her, I have seen marked improvements in both flexibility and control of breathing and have become much more aware of my posture, particularly insofar as it affects my back and hips. Since Dana is also a qualified massage therapist, she is also able to work directly on a spot to relieve any relapses in back or hip pain, even during a one-on-one yoga class. Finally, Dana is extremely reliable and has a wonderfully spiritual and friendly manner. Truly, an excellent yoga teacher. p.s. my wife has had a few massages from her and gives her 5 stars as well. Pros: Focuses on student's needs Cons: None more

Weekly personalized yoga and massage sessions with Dana have been transformative for me. Her approach is holistic and rejuvenating on every level-- physical, mental and spiritual. She is sensitive and responsive to whatever you want to work on. She is also highly intuitive and intelligent in her practice with an uncanny ability to detect exactly what needs working to make you feel your best. Not only has she guided me in my yoga practice with heartfelt attention and care, but she has also helped me to rediscover my breath with her vast knowledge of breathing techniques and has brought me to deep levels of relaxation with her amazing massages. As a result of my weekly sessions with Dana, I am healthier, more relaxed and vibrant in my daily life. Pros: personalized attention & responsive, caring and intuitive approach Cons: none more

My weekly sessions with Dana are a life saver. Her yoga instruction and healing massage leave me feeling calm, clear and rejuvenated, it's a great way to start my work week. This is the best massage I have had in San Francisco! Pros: personal attention, lots of knowledge and experience, very friendly Cons: None more

I am so excited that Dana moved to my neighborhood because for me, half the battle of getting my work out on, was getting there. Now she is close, i have no excuses to not enjoy her classes. I have sent my friends to her; they love her and her teaching ability as well. I just had my first massage from her and i was in heaven! Pros: Private classes, great personalised workouts, great massage Cons: NOTHING more
