Find Your Path
A Great Place to Start
Have you been wanting to learn yoga but not sure where to start? Maybe you have been recommended by your doctor or therapist to experience the documented benefits of yoga first hand. Pranayoga’s holistic yoga practice is the perfect way to begin.
Group Classes
Pranayoga's smaller, slow, and therapeutic group classes are a wonderful way to practice yoga, while getting the guided self care you desire.
Individual Yoga Therapy Sessions
Experiencing stress or discomfort? Yoga therapy teaches people who are suffering from pain, illness, or disease how to move to a place of ease. The difference between traditional yoga and yoga therapy is that traditional yoga teaches healthy individuals how to achieve excellence, while yoga therapy teaches people suffering from pain, illness, or disease how to move to a place of ease.
Ayurveda Consultations
As a clinically trained Ayurveda Wellness Counselor and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapist, Dani works with her clients in nutrition, yoga therapies, lifestyle routines, and herbal education to meet you where you are. Through mentoring with an Ayurveda consultant you will begin to connect to your own body’s healing wisdom.
