THIS FLOW NEVER HAPPENED WITH DANA
Set to an excerpt from Lane 8’s Spring 2026 Mixtape, this class invites us to move with the changing season. As summer begins to soften into fall, we’ll shift from expansion and outward energy toward grounding, integration, and release.
Expect a grounding warm-up followed by a dynamic vinyasa flow designed to move through the body’s summer energy—letting go of what we no longer need and creating space for what’s next. We’ll move through warmth, rhythm, and transition, allowing the music to carry us somewhere between effort and ease.
You’ll leave sweaty, energized, grounded, and ready to savor these final days of summer before the season turns.
All levels welcome. Come as you are.
More about Dana:
Dana has been moving her whole life. After more than 20 years of dance, she discovered yoga and fell in love with the way it made her body and mind feel. She completed her 200-hour Vinyasa training at Sky Ting Yoga in NYC in 2019, followed by four years of teaching and deepening her practice in Berlin through Vinyasa and Katonah Yoga. In 2024, she completed her 200-hour Katonah Yoga certification and mentorship with Kate Posch.
Drawing from both dance and yoga, her teaching invites you to create more space in your body and mind, move with greater ease, and cultivate a more mobile and joyful life—on and off the mat.

AUTUMN EQUINOX: 108 SUN SALUTATIONS with VERA
Mark the shift of the season with a powerful and meditative journey through 108 rounds of Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar).
This special practice is designed as both a physical challenge and a ritual of renewal. Rooted in yogic tradition, the number 108 holds symbolic significance, representing wholeness, connection, and the space between effort and surrender. Together, we’ll move, breathe, and flow as a community, building heat, focus, and rhythm with each round.
Students are encouraged to move at their own pace, take breaks when needed, and modify throughout. Whether you complete all 108 or simply take part in the experience, this practice is an invitation to connect more deeply with your body, your breath, and the collective energy of the room.
All levels welcome. Come as you are.

AUTUMN EQUINOX: RESTORATIVE YOGA & SOUND MEDITATION with CHARLIE
Honor the shift from summer to fall with gentle restorative yoga and sound meditation. As day and night come into balance, the equinox invites us to slow down, recenter, and realign with the new seasonal rhythms.
Charlie will lead a grounding practice to promote presence, ease, and balance as autumn approaches, followed by an immersive soundbath to encourage deep relaxation and spaciousness.
Please dress comfortably and come as you are.

She meets students where they are, encouraging confidence, presence, and a balance of strength and softness both on and off the mat.

ELEVATED OM:A YOGA & CANNABIS EXPERIENCE with NIKITA
For thousands of years, yoga has helped humans deepen the connection between mind, body and spirit. Cannabis carries a similar lineage, used across cultures for medicine, ritual
and expanding consciousness. Bringing these two practices together, intentionally, can offer new pathways to healing and to feeling more attuned in yourself. If you're curious about blending these modalities to support your wellness, join Jenny for conscious elevation with herbal medicine, a sweet slow flow to drop into your body and breath, and restorative yoga with meditation to land in stillness.
This workshop holds space for mindful cannabis consumption, real conversation and information, and a community of like-minded humans open to learning and exploring. Jenny will share a short presentation on cannabis and wellness (including how to choose products that support aligning wishes and needs), and invite participant conversations before moving into an intentional yoga practice that closes with restorative postures and guided meditation. Time is built in afterward to pause, reflect, journal, and transition back out into the world at your own pace. Journals, snacks, hydration and any other items that support your experience are welcome.
Please note that this is a BYO cannabis event - there will be NO cannabis for sale on site. Questions prior to sign up? Reach out here or email jhc@jennyhchao.yoga
