Yogacharini

Penelope Prana

I am a Yogacharini. I have practiced Yoga for 30 years and guided others on the path of Yoga for the past decade.  Subtle Yoga practices are the foundation of my selfcare skillset and continue to help me navigate the complex existence of being human. My vision is a world populated with compassionate, collaborative communities connected with Mother Earth.

I feel best when
I share what I know.
