Our Story
Welcome to Pranayoga! Our wellness studio offers a unique yoga experience. As a yoga therapy school, we offer trauma-informed, therapeutic movement for stress reduction, improved well-being, and spiritual connection.
Pranayoga was founded to make authentic Yoga and Ayurveda for everyone. We started in 2009 as a 1000-square-foot yoga studio in downtown Fort Wayne and have grown to be a global yoga therapy training institute accredited by IAYT. Our yoga studios now offer virtual and in-person membership, professional teacher training, yoga therapy, and Ayurveda consultations.
As a youth, our founder Dani(Vani), suffered from chronic allergies, asthma, and digestive issues. As a young adult, she developed eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. At the age of 16, she discovered healthy eating to help with some of her physical ailments and yoga as an alternative method to treating her mental/emotional symptoms. Eventually, she was able to rely on yoga therapy and Ayurveda to stop and reverse the progression of these mind-body illnesses.
Pranayoga has been a space of sharing and teaching Yoga & Ayurveda since 2009. Pranayoga makes authentic Yoga & Ayurveda accessible to everyone. Whether you want to support your mental well-being and physical health or find balance in your daily life, we are here to walk with you on that path.
