Private Personalized Yoga
Private sessions are the perfect way to address your unique needs and questions, to create a custom home practice, and to empower you with the self knowledge to take group classes with confidence.
Private sessions are individually crafted to meet any student exactly where you are and to progress towards your unique goals.
Ilana has experience with a variety of individuals and groups, from those looking to heal and thrive in a context of pelvic floor dysfunction, hypermobility, or chronic illness, to those looking for guidance into advanced postures , to group celebrations and more. She loves the opportunity to connect to the unique person or group and create tailored and supportive sessions.
Ilana draws from her extensive knowledge of the body and over 12 years of teaching customized private and group classes to offer an experience of being truly seen and supported with curiosity and without judgement.
“What keeps me coming back is your gentle, nonjudgmental way of seeing me as a whole. Never do I feel less than when I’m in your presence. I am really impressed with your overall knowledge of the body and what to do for any given challenge or situation. You offer wonderful tips and things I can do between visits to stay limber, relaxed and take care of myself.”

Pelvic Floor Yoga
Stabilize, soften, and reconnect from the inside out.
Integrative movement for pelvic floor awareness, core stability, and whole-body ease. This 75-minute breath-led yoga practice combines functional movement, somatics, core and glute activation, hip mobility work, and restorative poses to support pelvic floor health. We’ll practice postural alignment, build strength without strain, and cultivate the capacity to soften and reset, supporting sustainable stability from within.
This class is most impactful for those who have explored the Inner Foundation Series or already feel confident connecting with their pelvic floor through both engagement and release. If you’re new to this kind of work or unsure if the class is for you please reach out to Ilana at ilanahata@gmail.com, we welcome the conversation!

What’s the difference between the Inner Foundation Workshop Series and the Pelvic Floor Yoga classes?
The Inner Foundation Series is a slower, more educational workshop designed to help you truly understand how your pelvic floor works. We explore anatomy, breath coordination, engagement and release, and take time to integrate this learning through movement and reflection.
Pelvic Floor Yoga is a guided movement class that builds on this foundation through functional strengthening, hip and core work, mobility, and relaxation. While prior experience from the Inner Foundation Series is helpful, you’re always welcome to reach out if you’re new and curious—Ilana is happy to help you decide which offering is the best fit for you.
Mighty Yoga classes are hybrid In-Person in (downtown Ithaca), and virtual on Zoom, and include a Later Play option

“I come to your classes because I am able to tap into a place of calm and mindful relaxation I need to feel good/at peace about myself and all around me... Your classes are sooo easy to follow, easy to feel integrated into. You are a very welcoming teacher and easy to feel comfortable with. One can close his/her eyes and flow with your class so easily. It was the case for me nearly 10 years ago and it is still the case!!”
What is Kripalu Yoga?
Kripalu yoga is a practice of compassionate non-judgmental self observation. It can look like anything from gentle stretching to advanced power yoga, and everything in between.
The invitation is to practice as a way of becoming more present and sensitive to your body’s individual messages and needs. You’re encouraged to meet yourself exactly where you are and to customize the experience for that very moment. A natural result is increased strength and flexibility of both body and mind.
The asanas (postures) and focus of each class can widely vary, but the essential message of compassion, self acceptance and love remains at the core.
