Welcome to Dana Shamas Coaching

Dana’s passion for being a present and supportive guide for others as they find their own path comes from a lifelong journey of health, wellbeing and personal growth. She began her yoga practice while studying at Bryn Mawr College before moving to New York and London, where yoga helped to keep her grounded after long days at the Goldman Sachs. Later on, she took her practice with her to U.C. Berkeley where she earned an MBA from the Haas School of Business, and subsequently helped to start a variety of socially-conscious companies in the San Francisco Bay Area.

When Dana moved back to Houston she found that people really needed tools like the ones she had learned through yoga and socially conscious work to live more balanced and healthy lives. With her training and experience in breathwork facilitation, biofield tuning, Jivamukti yoga, Reiki, crystal bowls, and more she had a solid understanding of how complementary tools in the healing arts can facilitate  profound and lasting transformations. She founded Bayou Bliss Yoga, an intimate center known for its small group yoga classes and its impactful workshops and trainings on meditation, energy work, yoga and personal development. Her private practice mainly consists of one-on-one sessions with company founders, entrepreneurs, and other professionals.  

Dana’s previous corporate career gives her a unique perspective on the challenges we face day to day, and how elusive a sense of wholeness and harmony can be. Her private practice is largely dedicated to working directly with C-Suite clients and small, high-performing teams to help them access their authentic voice and leadership style.

Dana knows that harmony within ourselves gives us the capacity to create a more harmonious life. She is particularly dedicated to helping women lead authentically, from their intuition and the divine feminine. She invites everyone to find a deeper connection to their higher selves so that they may fully express who they are—and what they are meant to do.
