"As someone who came to yoga due to an injury my path and journey with yoga has always been viewed as peripheral. This training brought it into full focus and center. Before this training my mind and body would swing from one end of the emotional spectrum to another and after. After, I was able to unfold behaviors and patterns that weren't serving me, and find more equanimity and grace in my daily life. This experience will live with me forever. I have already shared these gifts with others and have received nothing, but positive feedback. If you have any interest in doing a yoga teacher training, doing it with Dana Damara will be transformative."

" I can say with the utmost sincerity that Dana's Yoga Teacher Training was life changing. I am so very grateful to have been a part of such a loving and supportive experience with so many wonderful people. I'm grateful to Dana for fostering that sense of growth, knowledge, and community with humility and leadership that was both strong and gentle. I was in YTT during a challenging and transitional time in my life; the timing could not have been more serendipitous. This teacher training will do more than show you how to be a good yoga teacher, it will give you the tools you need to tune into radical love and honesty. You'll connect with others and parts of yourself you weren't even aware of. Through the laughter and tears I was left with a sense of wonderment of how much there is to yoga. There are so many beautiful concepts to dive deeply into mentally, physically, and spiritually. I have the greatest sense of trust and confidence in Dana as a guide and teacher from the foundational to the abstract. I'll cherish the memories from YTT with the sweetest sense of thankfulness."

Dana Damara's Embody Truth 2020 is an expansive version of the fullest pose :) By that I mean, the Embody Truth program was challenging, eye-opening, and thoughtful in its approach to the instruction and creation of yoga instructors; and offered various areas of information in a comprehensive structure. With the world in constant change throughout the three months of this program, Dana, Gillian, and Nicole guided us through the curriculum in connection with the external responses of COVID-19 and BLM, as well as with our own internal struggles. As a group, we were able to deal confidently with the transformation of this program from hybrid to completely online. Having the opportunity to complete the OMWORK at my own pace via the online portal and recordings, along with the support of the cohort, kept this work stress-free and enjoyable. The subject matter in Embody Truth taps into the deeper layers of why we return to the mat again and again, and the various ways we share our experience with others off the mat. The Embody Truth 2020 Yoga Teacher Training was an excellent experience, one that brought clarity and definition to the passion of purpose in my life.

I chose to take Dana Damara's 300 hour YTT program after connecting with her in one of her classes. Her ability to relate 1:1 and truly make a connection and personalize the experience is what spoke to me, and was different about other programs I was considering. While I started shortly before the pandemic hit and got to experience a couple of classes in person, I admittedly was a bit skeptical on how this would all work online. I was glad I stuck with the program, as Dana was able to work her magic and create an intimate place for our small yoga tribe to connect, be vulnerable and learn together and from each other across distances and spaces. It ended up being a very deep and moving experience with the small group, and what I was most impressed with was Dana's ability to pivot and create an amazing online portal for us to continually go back, revisit what we'd learned, and practice. It was just what I needed during a time of pandemic! Grounding, reassuring and comforting all at the same time, while challenging and stretching me beyond my comfort zone to embrace & learn. I highly recommend Dana's online programs (as well as in person when the world permits us to be back in the room), they are unique, small, and customized to ensure a great experience.

I had wanted to take a yoga teacher training program for a while. When the quarantine happened, I wanted to do something positive. Dana is a very well respected yoga teacher and author. I was not sure how it would work doing the training on-line but I took a leap of faith and couldn't be more pleased with Dana's Yoga teacher training program! It was AWESOME! If you are reading this just do it. I loved it. Dana, Nicole, and Gillian handled the on-line aspects amazingly and I felt very supported and really enjoyed it.
