I am Nana Kufuor—a teacher and eternal student. As a certified yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner, my mission is to help others continuously expand their reach–and actualize the purpose of their souls.

Prior to becoming a teacher in 2021, I studied and practiced yoga for four years under the compassionate teachings of Amireh’s Healing Path in Sterling, Virginia, where I learned the healing power of chakra balancing (holistic alignment), pranayama (focused breathing), mudras (mostly hand formations), kriyas (completed actions and deeds), asanas (poses), mantras (repeated sound) and meditation – which promote detox, wellness and the experience of our higher selves by, in part, detaching from the material world.

How did I get here? Well, I’m a rebel. After my husband died by homicide, I was thrust into a quest for new meaning. I was broken and hopeless. After seven years of intense grief and depression, I experienced an awakening: healing comes from within… and I have God-given power to heal. With my third-eye opening, I reimagined myself. I started from scratch, earned my sound engineering degree and eventually launched my multimedia production company, Soundeazy. Along the way, I was led to my teacher, Amireh, who certified me in Reiki Two and yoga. Still, my life renewal wasn’t finished.

Loss struck again during the Covid-19 Pandemic, and I began leading yoga classes in a private Facebook group for family and friends. I fell in love with teaching and embarked on a 9-month yoga certification, during which I became pregnant to my surprise and delight. However, unlike many who lost love ones to Covid, my loss during this catastrophic period was my pregnancy. I never imagined the intensity of this pain—both physical and emotional—and it inspired my determination to support others on their maternity journey—whether expectant, postnatal, bereaved or on the path to conception. While pregnant and after my loss, I discovered the rich benefits of prenatal and postpartum yoga, which ignited the creation of Yoganana.

Yoganana’s adaptive approach to yoga fused with Reiki and sound healing departs from the ordinary. My blended approach also stems from the breakthroughs I’ve experienced by combining various modalities, such as Ashtanga, Hatha, Kundalini, Yin, Vinyasa and Restorative yoga. My ever-evolving yoga journey harmonizes these familiar practices with intuitive wellness, crafting a unique experience for each situation—and with every appointment.

I offer in-home and virtual private sessions, as well as special events for groups in indoor and outdoor settings. Join my path—and chart your own transformational alignment of body, mind, and spirit.

Yoga will never be the same.
