Who We are

Passionate Teachers, Lifelong Learners

We’re Joelle and Dana, the dedicated creators behind Mandala Life & Yoga. Our mission is to create transformative journeys where growth, connection, and self-discovery flourish.

With over a decade of experience as yoga instructors and retreat leaders, we’ve guided hundreds of students on their journeys to become more connected individuals.

We believe yoga is more than a practice, it’s a way of life. It’s about embracing stillness, celebrating movement, and discovering inner harmony. Our approach focuses on self-trust, mindfulness, and leading with truth.

Join us on this Journey!

A woman and a man are sitting on the floor, engaging in a conversation while others watch. The woman is smiling and wearing a white top, with casts on her hand. The man, with a beard and wearing a green shirt, is gesturing toward her hand. The setting appears to be a group activity or workshop in a bright room.

Testimonials

  • "This retreat was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The Mandala team’s attention to detail made every moment feel special. The blend of yoga, exploration, and connection with nature created a perfect balance. I can’t wait to join their next one!"

    Jana S., Retreat Participant

  • "The Mandala team has a way of turning any location into a sanctuary. While this will be my first time joining them in Cappadocia, I’ve attended their past retreats and know this one will be just as special—filled with thoughtful experiences, rejuvenating yoga, and unforgettable memories."

    Samy B., Retreat Participant

  • Mandala’s retreats go beyond just relaxation—they offer something deeper, a reconnection to yourself."

    Sofia M., Retreat Participant

  • "Being part of a retreat hosted by Mandala was a transformative experience. The daily yoga and breathwork sessions were powerful, and the excursions helped us forge unforgettable connections. It’s more than a retreat, it’s a journey."

    Sarine L., Retreat Participant

  • “In 2017, Mandala Yoga organized a beautiful retreat at Ashiyana Yoga in the beautiful North of Goa. 8 years ago and this retreat is still one of my favorite memories of all time. We practiced different levels of Vinyasa flows, meditation…we shared a lot of emotions- laughter, tears, happiness, exhaustion and much more. Everything was perfectly organized, Joelle Akl and Kamel (her husband) made sure we got the best out of it…they even helped us explore both North and South of Goa. Forever thankful for this experience.”
