Dana Hanizeski

Work on improving your posture with Iyengar Yoga! Proper posture requires you to have firmly planted feet, firm and straight legs, a strong core, a lifted spine, and open chest and shoulders. This class will guide you through all of these points. You will use props, which will give you access to posture specific stretches. This class will leave you standing taller than when you began, and teach you tips on how to maintain your posture when you step off of your yoga mat. Enjoy!

I am having back pain and cannot do any fast or quick movements now. This class is perfect to me to retrain my brain to stand tall. The step by step practice make this simple but difficult posture more accessible. Thank you.

I discovered Dana s teachings when doing this class as part of the 3-week Detox and Destress Challenge; and I have been following her classes ever since. Although I wasn t interested in doing Iyengar yoga prior to this time, I really enjoy doing Dana s classes. Hopefully there will be more of her classes on Yoga Download.

This class was offered as part of 3-Week Challenge - Detox & Destress and, since I woke up with my typical sore hips and low back, I was going to skip it but I am so glad I didn’t!! Yes, my posture and length felt good but about 10 minutes after I finished the class, I couldn’t believe the relief and release in my hips! Can’t wait to try Dana’s other classes!

I could definitely tell a difference from the beginning to end of the class. Great stretch for the shoulders and back. Thank you!

Felt the lengthening throughout the class and felt great. With low back problems this was perfect in stretching out those areas. Definitely added to my favorites.

Started with a very tight thoracic spine before class and, after, so much more free. Thank you from the UK!

I am glad I tried this session and will definitely add to my favourites! As I get older I have found my posture rounding and after years of carrying purses and briefcases my shoulders have been worn down. This session will become part of my regular yoga routine! Thank you Dana!
