Meet Dana Schachter

Dana has been working in the field of health and wellness for 26 years. This journey began in the mountains of N. California, at the Heartwood Institute, studying various modalities of massage therapy. Shortly after, in Costa Rica in 2000, she fell in love with yoga. It was through yoga that Dana first discovered what it truly meant to feel at home in her body and within herself. This experience was so affirming that she has dedicated her life to supporting others in their pursuit of self-discovery. She has amassed thousands of hours of study, training, and certification in both the philosophy and physical practice of yoga. Her classes emphasize alignment and breath, curiosity, and non-judgement. Now back in Costa Rica 23 years later, she is thrilled to be sharing this transformative practice with the vibrant Grande community.
