ABOUT OANA

 

Vedic scholars believe humans are born twice, "dvija": we're first born to a mother and a father, and then reborn into the realm of the spirit. Just like a bird first comes as an egg and then breaks out of shell into the world.

​

Oana was born and raised in Romania where she completed her studies before pursuing a finance career in New York and Canada. In 2010 her life was transformed after she committed to a daily Ashtanga yoga practice. Soon after, she found a strong desire to share the experience of physical, mental and spiritual well-being that had come to light on her yoga mat. 

Recently relocated to Western North Carolina from Northern California, Oana teaches and practices yoga, pranayama, meditation and Ayurveda.

 

Public, private, and corporate classes and Ayurvedic consultations are available in-person and online.
