Explorations of Self

Alana’s love for yoga came from firsthand experience with just how powerful the practice is. In 2012, her journey took her to India for three months where she trained with incredible locals near the Himalayas and fell into a rhythm of practice that felt sustaining. She has been teaching ever since. She is CYT and E-RYT certified in Vinyasa with a focus in Ashtanga Yoga. Her personal studies of many holistic modalities include integrative breathwork, pranayama, plant based nutrition, and various yoga theory and practicum ranging from restorative to advanced vinyasa and everything in between.

Alana is an RYT-800 yoga instructor living in the mountains west of Boulder, Colorado. She trained in Baptiste and Forrest-based styles of power Vinyasa yoga, having graduated her first training in Connecticut in 2013. Over the past two years she has co-led yoga and nutrition retreats in Bali, Indonesia, and Crestone, Colorado and has fallen in love with how the format of these retreats allowed students to find safety in being vulnerable, created beautiful connections between students, and helped students develop a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.

Magda Procner has been practicing yoga for over 15 years and has been living, studying, and teaching in India since 2011. She is the co-founder of Parinama Yoga Studio in Goa. She has completed 500-hour TTC as well as a variety of other trainings, workshops and CPD courses, including yearly trainings in Mysore with her teacher Vinay Kumar, meditation training for teachers with Sally Kempton, course in yoga therapy with Doug Keller, and trainings in pranayama, back bending, Vipassana meditation, Reiki healing, and more.

Cara is humbled and honored to teach what she has learned through her vast studies. She is always remaining a student of the practice and super grateful for her yoga journey as a new life path has presented itself to her. Her approach to teaching is focused on relieving anxiety and learning acceptance with what is, while other lessons may focus on balancing the mind and body.
