Lana Vogestad is an international yoga teacher, artist, and the founder of YNDI Yoga, an immersive practice where yoga, art, music, and mindfulness come together to nurture the body, quiet the mind, and awaken the spirit. Inspired by a lifelong love of art and the transformative power of yoga, Lana's work explores the intersection of creativity, wellbeing, and human potential.

​

For nearly two decades, Lana has helped people from all walks of life discover greater strength, resilience, and confidence, whether recovering from injury, navigating life's challenges, deepening their yoga practice, or simply reconnecting with themselves. Her teaching is rooted in the belief that yoga meets you where you are and has the profound power to heal, reveal our potential, and help us live with greater presence and intention.

​

Lana has taught extensively throughout the United States, Iceland, the Netherlands, and Costa Rica. She was one of the first experienced Hot Yoga teachers in Iceland, where she lived for four years, and continues to return each year to lead her annual New Year's workshop in Reykjavík, now entering its fourteenth year. She is also recognized as the most senior international teacher of the Barkan Method of Hot Yoga and serves as Jimmy Barkan's senior assistant in his Level II and III teacher trainings.

​

Her project, YNDI Yoga, has grown into an immersive online platform, in-person retreats and workshops, and a nationally broadcast PBS series. It was also selected for the Reykjavík International Film Festival, reflecting Lana's vision of bringing together yoga, cinematography, music, and visual art into a single transformative experience.

​

For more than a decade, Lana has also served as a trusted yoga teacher for the Cliff House Maine community, leading retreats, workshops, and curated wellness experiences for guests and leadership groups.

​

Alongside her work in yoga, Lana is an accomplished visual artist whose work has been exhibited internationally in New York City, Berlin, Reykjavík, Atlanta, Portsmouth, and beyond. She holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City and a BA from Bates College.
