Lana Rahal

Instructor

YES Lebanon

Lana completed her 200 hour yoga training at Yoga Essence in August 2018 and has been teaching at the studio ever since! She began practicing yoga as a teenager in high school. She instantly fell in love with the physical practice and was drawn to the flexible aspect. After completing teacher training, Lana learned about the other 7 limbs of yoga and has worked to incorporate these concepts into her life and teachings. As an elementary teacher, Lana notices the similarities in teaching school and teaching yoga, such as differentiating for each student and meeting students where they are.  Lana teaches both vinyasa style classes and slower, deep stretch classes. She has passions in creating dynamic sequences that are different each time, and introducing students to more challenging postures such as inversions and arm balances. Lana encourages students to do what feels right in their bodies above all else. Additionally, Lana trained in aerial yoga in January 2020 and now leads the aerial program at Yoga Essence, and trains others to become aerial teachers as well! Lana is available for privates and group sessions in both floor yoga and aerial yoga, and also loves leading sessions/ birthday parties for kids!
