About Me

My name is Lana, I live in Hackney with my family. 

As well as teaching Hatha yoga, I work part-time as a senior administrator in a local NHS Trust.

I first came across yoga 1997 while looking for ways to manage stress and recurring headaches. I came across the British Wheel of Yoga and began regularly attending classes. Yoga has had a profoundaly positive impact on my life.  It has improved my fitness levels-enhancing flexibility, stamina and strength, whilst also increasing my awareness of myself and the wider world around me.  Most importantly, it supports me in navigating daily life with a calmer, kinder frame of mind.

 I completed a foundation course in 2001, followed by a 500-hour British Wheel of Yoga Teacher training Diploma october 2022.  These studies deepened my knowledge of, and respect for, the practice.  I continue to builf skills and expereince through ongoing CPD (Continuing Professional Development), regularly attending workshops and learning from other teachers. 

 I am Emergency First Aid trained and  renew this every three years.

Outside of yoga, my interests include Pilates (both reformer and mat), running, strength training, travel, and arts and crafts-paticularyly Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
