About Your Instructor
Yoga for scoliosis, backcare, and posture specialist.
Dr. Yana Kleyman teaches alignment yoga and yoga for scoliosis, herniation, posture, backcare, osteoporosis, and healthy aging. Her classes inspire and encourage students to move mindfully, helping them to become aware of their habitual body-mind patterns and teaches her students how to overcome them.
After over two decades of suffering from back pain and fitness injuries without successfully attaining wellbeing, Yana turned to alternative methodologies beyond those offered by traditional western medicine.
After achieving and maintaining her own personal wellbeing goals, Yana was inspired to share her practice with others. Now with her combined healthcare background, scoliosis, backcare, and posture training, she is able to achieve results for others.
“Transformation is not something you wake up to in a given moment, but something you choose every single day. My goal is to equip you with the tools for this journey.” -Yana
