Dhana J. Stevens, 500 RYT

METHOD
I teach thoughtful vinyasa flow sequences that build through music and are followed by restorative poses to cultivate mindfulness and self-compassion on the yoga mat and in daily life. Along with a sense of humor, I offer individualized modifications and hands-on adjustments to create a balanced and energized practice in every class.

BACKGROUND
As a professional dancer and choreographer, with a degree in Psychology, I’ve long been in tune with the power of the mind/body connection. After retiring to raise my family, a sudden life-altering event inspired me to return to teaching and embrace the healing, redemptive power of yoga.

TRAINING
Mentored by Lainie Devina and Jennifer Elliott, I received my 500 hour RYT certification from YogaWorks. I credit my very first yoga teacher, Drorit Rudin, for inspiring me to follow this path and I was honored to return home to teach at Agoura Power of Yoga. 

PHILOSOPHY
I want to share what has made my life profoundly better. I love to create a safe space where my students can open their hearts, embrace themselves, let go and live in the moment.
