Course Description

Mystic, Soul Empowerment Coach

Dana Damara

Dana Damara is one of the Bay Area's premier yoga instructors and leading advocate for women and young girl empowerment. She is a mystic, a mother, a teacher of teachers, and an author. She traverses between the mystical realms, and real life drama of a mother of two teenage girls. She is an activist for women of all ages: committed to feminine embodiment, self-love, sisterhood, sacred ceremony and ritual, and creating a safe space for evolution. When she’s not leading one of her fiery, Moon Mystic Classes, she may be facilitating a retreat, hosting a women’s Moon Circle, empowering her clients, creating an inseparable tribe with her Embody Truth Teacher Training program, or simply hanging out with her daughters during down time from school.She believes that the body has many depths. What happens on the outside is simply a reflection of what is going on inside. It’s just a matter of how awake we are to that wisdom. Kama, Artha, and Dharma must be in alignment in order to be liberated from the lower levels of negativity that keeps us stuck. If we want liberation, we must do the work and it is all based on self-inquiry, exploration, and discovery.
