Dorna Djenab

Dorna Djenab is a yoga teacher based in Hertfordshire, UK, who teaches with Matt Gluck as part of Pranasana Yoga. She has practised yoga for over 40 years and has taught for over 20. She first came to yoga and meditation as a child.

Her background spans several cultures. She was born and raised in France, where her parents had been sent to study, and moved to Persia/Iran at the age of nine. She learned the spoken and written language there and, by ten, thought of herself as an Iranian Muslim rather than a French Catholic. She now lives as a British adult. She describes the roots of West and East as prompting her to reconcile what seems opposite, in all aspects of life. Poetry and the art of yoga remind her that, amid the world's suffering, there is immense beauty to be seen.

Dorna teaches a range of live online classes, including Hatha yoga, mindful breathing, self-massage, and short stretch and meditate sessions. Her teaching covers the face-to-face and online classes that she and Matt offer to adults of any age and fitness level, from beginners to advanced. With Matt, she also runs yoga retreats in the UK and abroad. Their approach is to support people through times of stability and, especially, through change and transition. They offer yoga and Tai Chi as a supportive, adaptable way to find physical wellbeing, emotional steadiness and balance.
