Founded in 2003 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland by Dana A. Smith, Spiritual Essence Yoga & Wellness has become a cornerstone for healing, growth, and community. As the owner and founder, Dana introduced the studio’s signature practice, Jiivana (L.I.F.E.) Yoga® — Live Inspired, Fearless, and Empowered, which empowers students to embrace yoga as a pathway to resilience, balance, and empowerment in daily life.
Through inclusive classes, holistic wellness services, and a strong sense of community, Spiritual Essence Yoga provides a safe and welcoming environment for anyone seeking movement, energy balance, or a deeper connection to self.
“Being a Black business owner means I can create a safe, welcoming space where people feel seen, supported, and encouraged in their healing. It allows me to offer representation in an industry where it is often lacking, and to show what is possible when we lead with heart, integrity, and purpose.” – Dana A. Smith
