Lift and Align Philosophy

At Lift & Align, I focus on helping you build strength with purpose and precision. Every movement is an opportunity to connect more deeply with your body and awareness. By integrating yoga and personal training, I offer a holistic approach that supports you from recovery to strength. Based in Denver, Colorado, I’m here to help you unlock your full potential—inside and out.

Your Trainer/ Instructor

Dana 

Hey, I’m Dana — a certified personal trainer and yoga instructor with a deep passion for movement and recovery. I earned my yoga certification in India and have since taught in several countries, exploring different styles and traditions.

As an athlete, I’ve done everything from marathon running and long-distance cycle touring to calisthenics and strength training. But one of my most defining experiences came a few years ago, when I was run over while cycling. I underwent extensive reconstructive surgery and had to relearn how to walk. The picture above is about a year after the incident.  That journey taught me the true power of patience, perseverance, and the mind-body connection — lessons I now share through my work.
