Dana Podell
Since my first yoga class while studying Dance at The Ohio State University, I’ve been fortunate enough to complete over 500 hours of therapeutic yoga teacher trainings and continue to study for my 800-hour yoga therapy certification with the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
Following my exposure to yoga, I completed my doctorate in physical therapy from Northwestern University. As a licensed physical therapist, I apply yoga therapeutically in my practice every day. The goal of yoga therapy is not to create a beautiful aesthetic or simply follow along in a class. Yoga Therapy is a specialized form of yoga that applies yoga-based movement, breath practices, and meditations to address specific medical needs. This empowering therapeutic approach can transform a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual health. I offer individual and small group yoga therapy sessions to help you discover pain-free movement patterns and promote a positive relationship with your body.
