WHEN WE FIRST MET Dawn at her studio Ahana Yoga in the Design District we learned Ahana means “light of day”. This is fitting as her 3700 square foot space feels filled with light and energy and promise – just like Dawn. She passionately described her practice of “bhakti” meaning love and devotion.

For her and her students it is not just a physical practice; yes, it is a cardio class to sweat, burn calories, and tone the body, but it also stimulates the mind and intellect with music and philosophical teachings. Students leave her unique and deeply spiritual classes feeling younger, fitter, and stronger and longing for class the following day.  

She is a wife and a mom of two kids with a full and busy life. She is devoted to bringing her teachings and spirituality to the community – providing access to people from all walks of life. 

Watch Dawn’s video and learn about how she came to Miami, how her mentor helped her establish the first studio in the Design District, and her Pandemic “aha” moments.
