"I've been doing yoga for 30 years, and teaching for seven, but I always learn something new from a master teacher like Prana. I've known for years that our body-mind awareness and connectedness is strengthened through yoga practice. However, what I saw and felt during Prana's session last week is how intentionally we can zero in on physical places where we hold specific tensions/memories/feelings -- and release them into joy!"
-Colleen Myers, Kripalu Yoga Teacher and Independent Nikken Wellness Consultant
"I feel expanded out of the experience of doing a session with you...plumbed to a very deep level, supported and honored in my experience. I felt lighter and elated when I left."
Linza Douglas, LPC, Therapist
"I feel like a new person. I have connected with
a new part of myself."

"Prana, I just wanted to say hi and to let you know that my shop is opening tomorrow. We have a lot of loose ends, but I am getting anxious to have the doors open. I want say thank you. My sessions with you helped me climb out of the dark and I am now open to this new adventure I am on."
