Who We Are
Ana McNulty-Romaguera
Ana McNulty-Romaguera is the owner of Eternal Bliss Yoga Center. Ana was first introduced to yoga as a teenager and began a more consistent practice in 2013. She began teaching in 2015. She met her teacher Gokulacandra in 2017 while living in Puerto Rico and continues to follow his teachings in her daily practice. She recently received permission from her teacher in 2024 to teach representing the lineage her teacher comes from.
Ana teaches Gokul Yoga Adikrama which is the foundational portion of the lineage her teacher comes from. The focus is on traditional yoga that follows a parampara (lineage) which can be traced back all the way to the roots of when yoga began thousands of years ago. Through that parampara the depth of the practice truly comes out in being able to receive the true, untainted teachings of yoga. This allows that goal of yoga to remain which is connection to the self and source of the self.
Dana Rae Tucker-Anastasi
Yoga for me is the stilling of the constant swirl of life. Through time in a physical practice over a regular schedule I soon found that it was not life that was swirling around me. It was me swilling around my own mind. Yoga provides me the space to settle and take in without reaction.
While initially started as something new to try between a busy work and school schedule; Yoga has become a vital part of my life that has made balancing marriage, motherhood, and a career possible. Now on my new path as a teacher I hope to provide a space for others fine stillness and peace.
Daria Markham
I started I started practicing yoga after the birth of my son, mainly as a physical practice to build strength. I was drawn to Hatha yoga because it was very fulfilling to my active lifestyle. I find yoga healing and meditative especially after experiencing some health related setbacks in my life. I am a kinesthetic learner and the feel of the movement is often described in my grounding and foundational based teaching style. I started teaching children’s yoga and took my teacher training through Rainbow Kids Yoga in 2013. I pursued my 200 Hour Teacher Training certification through Breathe Yoga in 2015. Throughout my career as a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist I have worked with children, adolescent youth, adults in rehabilitation and the elderly. Loved it all. Currently, you will find me also instructing at the local YMCAs of Greater Rochester and Community Based yoga studios.
