Yoga before coffee
Meet Dana Fares
“Best Yoga Instructor with a Voice that Could Keep You in Savasana Forever” - Chicago Reader
I’ve been teaching yoga for eight years. But yoga has been teaching me for far longer than that. Throughout the years yoga has taught me how to exist in stillness, listen to my body, and truly access myself. Moreover, my practice has shown me that yoga is such a revitalizing force, that I can turn to yoga before I turn to coffee when I need an energy boost.
I’m a true believer in the transformative relationship between mind and body. I strive to connect deeply to my students and make learning yoga fun and approachable. As a creative artist at heart, I encourage my students to explore self-study and develop individualized practices specific to their own bodies, minds, hearts, and souls.

NAMASTE AT-HOME: CREATING YOUR AT HOME YOGA SPACE
Bring a little Om to your home.
Creating a dedicated yoga space is crucial to establishing a successful home practice. The idea is to design a space that entices you to your mat and eliminates the need to rearrange the furniture. If you have less room and are unable to carve out space without rearranging some furniture, try to make moving the furniture part of your ritual. The important thing is to have a permanent space you visit every day. With a designated yoga area already waiting for you, all you need to do is step into your practice!
It’s all too easy to skip your yoga routine. Seeing a space in your home already set up can help inspire you to visit your practice. Moreover, without the need to commute to a studio, you can spend more time on your mat.
When your mind and body greet the same space every day, it allows you to take better notice of your mental growth and physical progress. Being rooted in the consistency of your space will help you dive deeper into self-inquiry and discovery. Practicing in your own personal space can help push you past your comfort zone. In the privacy of your own home, you can Om a bit louder and lose balance without losing face.
