About Thana

Thana is a Holistic Wellness Coach specializing in Ayurvedic Medicine. She is a certified Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor and Therapeutic Yoga Instructor. After taking her first class in Yogic Philosophy in 2016, she was inspired to pursue her 300HR Yoga Therapy training based on the teachings of Sri Krishnamacharya and Mr. TKV Desikachar. The teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda deeply resonated with her not only on a spiritual level, but helped inform her own healing journey from chronic health challenges as well.

Thana has completed a three-year 1,000 hour Yoga Therapy training in the Viniyoga tradition through Yoga Well Institute, an International Association of Yoga Therapist (IAYT) accredited program.

Thana’s classes incorporate a deep awareness, guided breathing, and visualization with mindful movement. She teaches yoga in clinical settings such as the Osher Center for Integrative Health at Vanderbilt University Medical Center as part of an integrative team and teaches inpatients at the Vanderbilt Psych Hospital. She has created Nourishing Wellness to make the teachings of Ayurveda and Therapeutic Yoga accessible to those who seek personal healing.

In her current studies, Thana is a trainee of Vanderbilt's Health Coaching Program- a program approved by the National Board of Health & Wellness (NBHWC).
