Your evolution moves at your pace.

It has been so wonderful being a part of the Dana Damara Evolution community. So supportive and expansive! Enrolling and completing the 300 hour program at 300 hour embodied practice academy helped me solidify exactly where I wanted my yoga career to take me. The mentorship hours quickly showed me areas to press more deeply into in both my life, and in my work.

Master Classes: Weekend Immersive Modules

The 300-hour Embodied Yoga Method is rooted in the understanding that yoga is an evolutionary process — an ongoing spiral of learning, integration, and expansion.

To make this training more accessible, the eight-month program is now offered as a series of individual modules. Participants may choose to enroll in specific modules that align with their interests and goals, or commit to the full training experience for a comprehensive and immersive journey.

  • Refine your awareness through advanced study and experiential practice.

  • Explore the subtleties of the nervous system and their role in embodied living.

  • Engage in modules that offer meaningful stand-alone learning while contributing to a larger transformational journey.

  • Honor the ongoing process of growth, embodiment, and personal evolution.

What You’ll Experience

inside the training

MODULE 1:

Yin /

Restorative

Learn the key differences between yin and restorative yoga and how each practice uniquely supports the body. Using props and intentional stillness, you'll explore how deep rest and nervous system regulation create one of the most powerful forms of balance available in modern life.

MODULE 2:

Chakras & the

Subtle Body

Move beyond the physical and into the energetic dimensions of yoga through an exploration of the chakra system, prana, and the subtle body. Through pranayama and meditation, you'll cultivate awareness and insight while creating the inner conditions for transformation and balance.

MODULE 3:

Holistic

Anatomy

Deepen your understanding of the human body and how poses function to support different bodies safely and effectively. You'll learn to offer modifications, address common challenges, and teach alignment with greater precision, intelligence, and embodied awareness.

MODULE 4:

Intuitive Sequencing

Explore how and why a practice unfolds the way it does through intentional, intelligent, and intuitive sequencing approaches. By weaving together asana, pranayama, and meditation, you'll design classes that support the body, regulate the nervous system, and invite presence.

MODULE 5:

The Art of Assisting

Learn the art of safe, supportive, and empowering hands-on assists rooted in consent, communication, and the energetics of touch. You'll develop confidence assisting a range of postures — including inversions and arm balances — while honoring each student's unique body and comfort level.

MODULE 6:

Philosophy as a Practice

Immerse yourself in the spiritual foundation of yoga through the Yoga Sutras, Yamas and Niyamas, and ancient teachings brought into modern, practical application. Mudras, mantras, yantras, and mythology round out a rich, multidimensional understanding of yoga as a path of self-discovery.

MODULE 7:

Somatics

and Yoga

Bridge yoga with somatics and trauma-informed practices to create safe, inclusive environments for all students. Grounded in both modern research and yogic wisdom, you'll gain tools for nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and compassionate, healing-centered teaching.

MODULE 8:

Business of Yoga

Over the past 3 years of mentorship, apprenticeship, and connection she has helped me to point my arrow with clarity and confidence.

I am now certain of my abilities and skills and proud to be a teacher of teachers. I am now more comfortable with myself, inside and out, than I could ever have imagined. Dana's guiding hand has been instrumental in this massive shift, and it's made my life better, both off the mat and on.

I just needed this space to believe in myself and trust that I have so much to offer my students. This is just the beginning of my big adventure. I finally found my tribe with these incredible women.
