Shana Meyerson is a Los Angeles-based yoga influencer and the world-renowned creator of YOGAthletica and mini yogis yoga for kids. She has been teaching yoga since 2002, but has been an advocate for Israel and the Jewish people even longer than that. A member of the elite World Jewish Congress Jewish Diplomatic Corps, the Israel Bonds National Women’s Board, and AIPAC, Israel and Judaism are the cornerstones of her life. After the atrocities of October 7, Shana put her professional career on hold in order to advocate full-time for the Jewish People and the Jewish State. In July 2024, she launched The Yoga of War Podcast, where she has had the distinct honor and pleasure of having provocative, inspiring, educational, and important conversations with many of the world’s most prominent pro-Israel voices…and it has been the honor of a lifetime.
