Our Story: Your Journey Begins Here.
Welcome to Pranayoga, where healing meets wisdom, and practice becomes a path to wholeness. We believe yoga is more than poses. It’s a journey toward feeling good in your body, finding peace in your mind, and reconnecting with the truth of who you are. Whether you're here to ease stress, heal from within, or step into your calling as a teacher or therapist, we walk beside you.
A Space Born from Healing
Since 2009, Pranayoga has existed for one purpose: to make authentic Yoga and Ayurveda accessible to you—and to anyone seeking purposeful movement and improving quality of life.
Our founder, Dani (Vani), once faced challenges that felt overwhelming. Chronic illness. Anxiety. Disordered eating. At just 16, she discovered yoga and Ayurveda—not just to ease her symptoms, but to help her heal deeply and reclaim her joy.
Her journey became the heart of Pranayoga.
Now, it’s your turn.
What began as a small 1,000-square-foot studio in downtown Fort Wayne has become a thriving healing arts sanctuary and a globally accredited yoga therapy institute. Here, your healing unfolds. Your growth is supported. And your purpose begins to shine.
