What is Jivana Yoga with Dana A. Smith

We have Dana A. Smith on the podcast this week! Dana is the founder and owner of Spiritual Essence Yoga and the creative visionary behind the international YES! Yoga Has Curves movement. Her work has been featured on NBC4, FOX5, The Examiner, Essence Magazine, WHUR, NPR, and Black Enterprise. Dana did something VERY cool in my book and created her own form of yoga, Jiivana (L.I.F.E.) Yoga®, a National Yoga Alliance approved and registered yoga style. In this episode, we discuss: Dana's background and history that led her to yoga; how to build and create your own methodology of doing something; ways to overcome challenges that arise when doing your own thing; the means of healing after the trauma of 9/11; the joys of getting older in yoga and how to avoid "showmanship" in your yoga practice; our experiences with a 40 day chanting practice that radically changed our lives; Dana's deep wisdom on when your Spirit Guides come through; introversion, empathy, clairvoyance and the auric field.
