ABOUT YOUR RETREAT LEADER

Polina Fayet is the founder of PRANA Yoga and has been practicing since 2012, when she first turned to yoga as a way to reconnect with her mind and body after having her first child. She is passionate about crafting fluid, intelligently sequenced classes that build strength while leaving students feeling restored and energized. A dynamic and versatile instructor, Polina teaches a variety of styles —including vinyasa flow, aerial, yin, gentle, power, and restorative. Guided by the mantra “your body, your yoga,” Polina emphasizes a functional approach to movement that honors each student’s unique body and journey.

Polina completed her 200-hour teacher training at Bliss Body Yoga in 2019 and deepened her studies in Yin Yoga with Bernie Clark in 2020. She went on to further her studies in aerial yoga with Carmen Curtis, founder of AIReal Yoga. Her classes blend creativity, strength, and mindfulness—offering students both challenge and ease, always with space to meet themselves where they are. Beyond the studio, she is a mother of three, a military wife, corporate boss babe, and an experienced traveler, drawing inspiration from cultures and practices around the world to enrich her teaching and connection with community.
