Meet Dana
I am Dana Renee Taft, a generous, energetic, and vivacious lover of God, yoga, and life itself. I adore the daily opportunities I have to bring together my skills as a certified Behavioral Life Coach, a loving pastor, and a long-time yoga instructor in order to help you be your best self. I passionately believe that life is about all of you— body, soul, and spirit — and I have dedicated myself to bringing the light and color back into my clients’ lives.
Beyond my areas of expertise, I am always passionate about being a fun-loving wife to Chris Taft, my husband of 11 years and former NBA player. From meeting at a club to ministering together, we’ve seen it all and loved every minute. I am also a mother to three awe-inspiring and incredibly tall young people, Kayla, David and Ethan, and our family lives in Nashville, TN with our ferociously goofy puppy, Tucker.
