Layna Dakin
Layna fell in love with the way her body felt as she awoke each morning and began her day moving with her Jane Fonda exercise tape. Her fitness journey continued as she taught step aerobics and kickboxing at the University of Massachusetts where she became the head of the kinesiology department. She channeled her energy and enthusiasm into others as a hard core fitness coach and personal trainer, pushing people to their limits to help them re-shape their bodies.
Even with her high degree of physical fitness, Layna felt something was missing in her life and found her way into her first yoga class. Immediately connecting with the combination of heat, balance, alignment, and focus, Layna found that yoga provided the perfect balance of rest and strength. She studied Iyengar yoga at the University of Hawaii developing an awareness of alignment and focus. Thereafter, Layna continued her studies with Yogafit I-IV and completed the Baptiste Power Yoga Certification program! The enthusiasm she brings to all her classes helps students sculpt their body and mind from the inside-out.
“An authentic teacher does not share learned knowledge from the head, but rather wisdom from the heart that has been filtered through one’s own personal and direct experience…” Baptiste
