Alana Bernys

A lifelong dancer, Alana got hooked on yoga in college after attending classes with her mom at the local studio. Practicing in studios from New Hampshire to Rome to NYC throughout her undergrad career, Alana fell in love with the inner peace and quiet mind she was able to find after a hot vinyasa class.

Alana completed her 200-hr certification at YO BK under Kate Durand and Stefani Rose in 2020, training in the Baptiste style. In her classes, Alana likes to focus on letting the breath guide the movement and finding the balance between effort (sthira) and ease (sukha).

Outside of the studio, Alana is a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton studying developmental biology. In her minimal free time, you can find Alana hiking, giving tours with the Princeton Art Museum and looking for little adventures.
