Land Yoga

Dana is amazing. She gives special attention, observes every detail and correct whenever necessary. I never imagined Mysore classes online were possible, but they have been going great. I  find myself getting better day by day - both flexibility and stamina wise.

Land Yoga provides the guidance and care that any new or experienced yogi needs for their practice. The teachers are patient, generous and thoughtful when working with you. They help you see your strength while encouraging you to breathe. It is a magical place. I would not have made it through the last year without it.

Land Yoga really saved my (yoga) life in the pandemic. I had been practicing different kinds of yoga before arriving in astanga last year when I really fell in love with the astanga tradition. Since then, I have been practicing almost daily, wherever I was, moving between the US and Europe, between different homes in each continent. I did trainings with different teachers but found it hard to settle in with one. Hence, when I finally got back to New York this spring, I got so lucky to arrive at Land Yoga: Lara and Dana are truly amazing teachers, and make online mysore and lead classes a really beautiful and enriching daily experience! My yoga practice has been benefitting so much already and I am looking forward to all that I will learn from them in the future. I am amazed how many details Lara and Dana spot even in the online environment. They address exactly those issues that I had been feeling bothered by, and give really helpful advice. While I have been enjoying my home online practice with them a lot, I really relish also the outdoor sessions more of which are coming up this summer. I can hardly imagine a better start into my Saturday than having an astanga LIVE session in Morningside or Central Park. Super grateful for having found this studio which has been really motivating me to take more loving care of my daily astanga practice.

I first took Marcy’s class almost 10 years ago, and there is no other Yin class that compares! Marcy ensures that everyone feels comfortable in positions, and offers adjustments or alternatives as needed. My body feels better when I’m taking this class regularly!

Dana is the Yoga Teacher that I wished I have met when I started my Yoga Journey.  
She shows compassion and connection and you can see her passion for this practice.
Thank you,

I really enjoyed Yin/Restorative yoga with Marcy.  The class was grounding and Marcy is funny and gentle.  It doesn't matter if you don't have all the props at home.  She walked us through how to create bolsters from blankets and yoga mats- it worked!

I have been "restoring" with Marcy for many years, more recently in her Land Yoga on-line practice - Yin/Restorative Yoga.  In her practice, she is deeply empathic and knowledgeable, offers care and support enabling me to relax and heal my often aching body/mind.  I can take her Livestream classes wherever I am in the world - end of the day in the USA to the beginning of the day in Australia.  How great is that.  She is creative in the way she attends to all level of students in her class - offering "healing-holds" to each.  Her sense of humor is
also most welcome - a breath of fresh air and a gift.  Thank you Marcy!

Dana is a keen and generous Ashtanga teacher with an astonishing amount of knowledge in regards to the nuances and subtleties of the practice.  I am so grateful Land Yoga was able to pivot to virtual classes as I am early (and sometimes an impatient student) in my practice, yet I am so inspired by Dana to practice and persist even during the hardest days of isolation.  I am so happy Land Yoga gifted me with what I hope to be a life-long Ashtanga practice and community!

I began attending Mysore in Sept., 2019, and loved the assistance and advice Dana--and Sundays, Jessica--gave me in my practice.  Dana helped me correct certain things, while at the same time being very sensitive to my own anatomical issues.  Even when the studio closed and I did self-practice, I was able to use her advice to slowly develop and improve my practice. She is knowledgeable, challenging and inspires me in my practice.   I just started attending ZOOM classes, and it's working great.
  I do find problems with the website that definitely caused some confusion and frustration, and they should be addressed--like not being able to sign in as soon as you get on the website.

I have been studying with Dana now for two years and it has been the greatest gift in my life. I couldn't be more grateful that Land Yoga has been able to continue virtually. Dana is an incredible teacher: She has impeccable attention to detail and of each and every student's need, while also having an incredible knowledge of Ashtanga Yoga both in practice and in theory.. She leads by example and cares deeply about her students and work. Dana and Land Yoga are a gem of NYC.
