Serena’s yoga journey started in 1999 when she was introduced to a body scan meditation during a community building event. The moment she was invited to bring her attention inside and rest she knew she found something profound that would be very influential in her life, but she didn’t quite understand why it felt so powerful.
In 2009 while living in the SF Bay Area, after practicing on her own for a decade, she found public classes. She quickly signed up for a 200 hour teacher training and from there she would take classes in many styles of yoga and attend diverse yoga events. After exploring the diversity of yoga she settled in to take a deep dive with Annie Carpenter, with over 500 hours of training.
She has since come to understand that yoga is relationship. That moment that she closed her eyes and was asked to go inside was the beginning of a relationship with herself that was long overdue. Yoga invites a slow and steady refinement of more skillful action towards oneself, and the world. Yoga is skill in action. When we develop a practice and we show up regularly profound shifts start to happen.
Serena brings her passion and curiosity, love of movement and anatomy, as well as meditation and classical philosophy into her teaching. She aims to meet students where they are and provide a safe space for exploration and transformation.
