ABOUT COLLEEN
Prana's Mama Ambassador

I'm from...
I’m originally from the Jersey shore, and moved up to Westchester for college (Manhattanville). I fell in love with the area and my husband, so I’ve been here ever since. We now have 2 boys and we live just a few minutes away from the Prana Studio.
 
My education and training...
My background is in Political Science and Social Work.  I’ve interned in the Senate, studied health policy, and supported people with cancer and their families through tough times.
 
My backstory…
I started at Prana when I was pregnant with my first son. I had never done yoga before, but I had a lot of back pain and sciatica, so I thought I would try it. I kept it up and did Mama and Baby Yoga, “regular” yoga at Tovami, then Toddler yoga, and I started again with my second.  
 
I love being the Mama Ambassador because...
I found a lot of support in this community.  I enjoy being able to help other people through the changes in their lives.
 
My work style...
As the Mama Ambassador, I am friendly and open to talking about my experience with others.  I help connect people to the resources we have here, and let them know what others have found helpful.
 
My passion...
is providing support and knowledge to people going through major life changes.
 
When I am not at Prana I am… 
usually with my family and our friends.  I like to read and play board games, eat at all of the wonderful little restaurants around Port Chester, and go hiking.
