History
Dana Breitenstein started OPY in 2001 as a simple class for
friends but it has since evolved to reflect her personal belief
that a charitable lifestyle is easily within our reach and that
we can make a profound difference in the lives of this planet.
Instructor Profiles
Dana Breitenstein, as you have seen, likes to practice
yoga on mountain peaks as much as possible, so it is only natural
her class is called Old Peak Yoga. Dana's teaching style focuses
on developing strength, agility and confidence in students of all
levels, especially beginners. Dana began her yoga practice in New
York City in 1997, and was quickly hooked when she realized yoga's
strengthening and stress relieving benefits. After receiving her
teaching certificate, Dana taught in NYC, before moving to San Francisco
and then Hong Kong, where Old Peak Yoga was born. Her biggest claim
to fame, in addition to her sun salutation series, is her 'Mexican
Sushi' which is an Old Peak Yoga Peace Party delicacy.
Ana
Sanchez Rollon, originally from Spain, is a beautiful citizen
of the world embracing everyone she meets with her passion for life
and yoga. She has been practicing yoga for 'as long as she can remember'...which
is obvious to anyone who has the pleasure to attend one of her classes.
Ana teaches a modern, dynamic distillation of traditional hatha
yoga where she gives enthusiasm, joy and warmth to each one of her
students. She has practiced yoga in Spain, England, China, India
and now Hong Kong and is famous for her 'partner poses' which are
not only heaps of fun, but make one realize that what at first may
seem impossible, can quickly become a reality!
