Dana is the founder of Sow Yoga and a senior teacher with more than 20 years of practice in yoga and over 10 years of full time yoga teaching experience.  Her dedication is to bring yoga combined with mindfulness practice to her students.

​

In her early days as a passionate student, Dana has completed over 1000 hours of training and regularly attended workshops with a strong interest in anatomy, biomechanics, breath, and meditation.  She completed her first 200h RYT training in 2010 with Patrick Creelman, and further her studies with multiple 300h RYT training by Desiree Rumbaugh, Noah Maze and Jason Crandell.  She is a firm believer in the importance of cross-training and has been trained by one of the world's most prominent hand-balancer Miguel Sant'ana in person for over 3 years.

​

Dana has taught and led retreats, studied and deepened her practices in various cities.  She also assisted Patrick Creelman during teacher trainings and has taught workshops in different countries, including Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, and Singapore.

​

Along with the asana practice, she strives to instil a strong sense of awareness and introspection in her students.  With such a non-competitive inner climate achieved through mindfulness practice, students can come to explore their physical edge with a more profound understanding of connection to themselves.

Brazilian native Miguel Sant'ana started hand balance training since 2011 and he has developed his unique hand balance training method based on his extensive training background from tumbling, acrobatics and capoeira.

​

Miguel started teaching hand balance since 2013 and is one of the top most sought-after hand balance teachers worldwide.  He shows his students his very clear passion for determination, dedication and commitment.  Miguel's objective as a teacher is to inspire the knowledge with his students to create a very strong base of training.  He always says "A tree without roots does not grow".
