Yoga and Pilates are more than movement — they're a way of life.

Your body may change.
Your possibilities don't have to.
An injury changes how you move. So does stiffness, a shoulder that no longer reaches, a hip that protests, or the quiet caution that arrives after a stumble. Life transitions can do the same thing, you find yourself moving a little more carefully than you used to.
​
None of that means you're finished. It means your movement deserves attention, not avoidance. We work around your body, at your pace, with professional guidance.
​
You may move differently than you once did. You do not have to stop moving forward.
THE HEART OF MY PRACTICE
Private live or vitual sessions,
shaped around you.
Most of my week is spent one-on-one. Every private session begins with a postural assessment, then becomes a plan built for your body — your history, your goals and the way you actually move today.
​
We work virtually from anywhere or at your location, combining yoga therapy, mat and Reformer Pilates, CoreFirst bands and resistance work in whatever mix serves you best.

Move together. Stay strong.
Alongside private work, I teach two group classes each week. Join us via Zoom — I'll send you the link when you book. Classes are welcoming, low-pressure and built for real bodies.
INDIVIDUALS + COUPLES
Movement is personal.
Your support should be too.
Some of the most rewarding work happens with one person, or two people who want to keep moving through life together. Sessions are shaped around your goals, your history and the way your body actually moves today.

THE PROCESS
A clear path, one step at a time.
01
Understand
We start with your goals, your movement challenges, your lifestyle and what you want to keep doing.
02
Assess
A postural assessment to understand mobility, balance, posture and how you actually move.
03
Personalize
An approach built around you — or around the two of you — rather than a one-size-fits-all class.
04
Strengthen
Mobility, stability, balance and functional strength developed steadily, at your pace.
05
Move forward
You feel stronger, steadier and more capable in the parts of life that matter most to you.

I needed work on my posture and core strengthening. Dayna took me on at her Yoga Studio on posture, balance and core strengthening using her skills in Yoga and overall physical knowledge. It has helped me to stand straight and improve my motor function. I would recommend her highly to any one needing balance and other postural work. And she makes exercise enjoyable and fun.

I’ve been working out with Dayna for about 5 months about 2 days a week and lost at least 10-15 lbs - enough to fit into my smaller scrub!!! It’s low impact but still gets my heart rate up at times. I look forward to my workout and feel relaxed and energized at the same time after I’m done. Dayna is highly educated, super nice, but knows when to push me to be better! Totally recommend you trying her out!

Yoga by Dayna has been part of my routine 2 times a week for the last 5+ years. Dayna has a kind, gentle and positive approach with moves that can still challenge me with every class. The classes have been a great way to de-stress, breath, and relax while improving my balance and strength at the same time. I highly recommend classes with Dayna!

Have a good day! Thanks

I love working with Dayna. She is kind and patient. In general I am not an exercise person, but Dayna makes exercising enjoyable. I look forward to our weekly sessions.

Dayna has been my yoga instructor for over a year now and I am thoroughly satisfied with her instruction. She is very professional, experienced, and accommodative.
Initially she had me fill in her intake forms and took time reviewing them with me. I was able to discuss my reasons for initiating yoga and what physical limitations I have. She then molded a personal plan for me.
She has been an instructor for many years, but still is continually enhancing her knowledge and abilities. She attends regular seminars and participates in workshops several times a year.
I am away from home frequently and her virtual sessions follow me. My schedule varies from week to week and she always seems to find a time for our sessions.
