Dana Layon, E-RYT

Dana Layon, E-RYT began practicing Iyengar Yoga in 1997 and then Prenatal Yoga during her first pregnancy in 2002. In 2003, she was introduced to Vinyasa “Flow” Yoga, a westernized style of yoga guiding movement with breath. After running a successful prenatal yoga program at Southwest WA Medical Center, Dana brought Satsang Yoga and Wellness Center to her community; a yoga studio incorporating all aspects of health and well being: yoga, meditation, massage, alternative energy healing modalities and nutrition.  After three years, she closed the studio to pursue a more global audience.

Currently, her main programs include her Zen Flow Yoga School – nationally accredited with the Yoga Alliance.  The school offers a 10 month program that educates aspiring teachers how to help others realize all the benefits of yoga. The course includes teaching methodology and technique, postural alignment, yogic philosophy, anatomy and the business of teaching yoga. 

Her program is also considered one of the most life transforming programs on the market today. Utilizing contemparay teachings from modern spiritual leaders and combining it with ancient yogic text. She combines Chakra Balancing, VAK, Metaphysics, Ayurveda and energy healing to capture an audience interested in Higher Conscious Living.

The course can also be sub-divided for those individuals who only want certain aspects of the training; this she calls her Yogi Training.

Dana holds monthly, life transforming, educational workshops in Vancouver, Washington and is available for speaking engagements nationwide. See the Workshops page for more information on a myriad of topics.

She leads Spiritual Warrior Retreats twice a year – geared toward women empowerment and unity. 

She teaches Zen Flow 5 times per week; prenatal classes once a week and kids yoga twice a week, offering yoga and life virtues to children ages 3-10. 

As a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT), Women Entrepreneurs Organization (WEO), Mamaprepreneurs and co-founder of Natural Approach to Parenting (NAP), Board Member of Your Baby Your Way with Southwest WA Medical Center and Evergreen4kids.org, Dana strives to educate her community and beyond about the benefits of yoga.

She believes that everyone deserves to live their best life and understands how to make the choices to get there. She is passionate about the benefits of stillness and how clear life becomes once we listen to our inner voice.

Dana also leads workshops on Fulfilling Your Souls Purpose – realizing that yoga and stillness go hand in hand with pure joy and happiness.  Passion lives in the heart – the heart can’t be heard without stillness.  With stillness there is clarity – with clarity, power. 

Her books, Surviving the Human Experience with Spiritual Intention and Om (AUM) will both be published by November 2010.

She has 2 daughters under the age of 7 that provide her with the inspiration to be a better person. Her intention is to train others to teach yoga; assist others in living their best life and utilizing yoga and other natural healing modalities for optimal health and wellness.
