HEALING ONE BODY AT A TIME

ABOUT DAYNA

Certified Yoga Therapy Specialist

It’s been 13 years since I first began the joys of teaching yoga.  Great experiences at Gold’s Gym, Wild Basin Fitness and Balance Yoga encouraged me to go deeper.  Four years later, I received a certification in Yoga Therapy.  I also dallied in certifications to teach Water Aerobics, Personal Fitness Training, Core First, and Mat Pilates.   During Covid, I invested time in Coaching the Body, a method to treat pain based on an integration of trigger point therapy with traditional Thai bodywork.  A course in Postural Neurology, created by Drs. Krista Burns & Mark Wade helped me learn to assess dysfunctional outputs of the Posture System and how to implement treatment plans to improve function through neuroplastic changes.  Following that, I fell in love with Linda Lack’s program of Thinking Body, Feeling Mind, a beautiful link to movement therapy.  Most recently, I completed the Accelerator Program with Gina Schatz of The Schatz Method.  Each of these courses has weaved and molded my style of teaching.  I teach virtually, in the studio or at your location, and at all inclusive resorts throughout Mexico, Curacao, and Costa Rica through FitBodies, Inc.  When not teaching, I am playing in Austin, TX with Bill, my husband of 10 years and my dog Hondo.  We divide our time between Austin, TX and Fredericksburg, TX, where we rent out Vino Vida, a 100 year old home full of enchanting beauty and challenges.

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 with 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 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.

Jim Fleming, Lakeway, TX

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.
