off the mat a lifelong obsession with sound is guided Alana in the direction of music and vibration.

Through the teachings of yoga, she has found a home for her spirit within the pulsations of the heart.

She was born with a hearing impairment, but was taught from an early age that is neither a setback or a difference.

Instead, it is a way to thrive and shine.

And so she has, by becoming a vocalist, a teacher, a musician, a writer, and a lover of music,

sound, meditation, inspiration, and vibration.
