Lena teaches Hatha Yoga with an emphasis on body alignment and finding stillness within movement. Her teaching is inspired by the art and science of Iyengar yoga. She challenges students to heighten their inner consciousness by gently ”pricking” at their physical and mental awareness. Her joy in teaching is in seeing her students able to be completely still and relaxed at the end of a yoga class.
Lena received her yoga teacher’s certification from Starseed Yoga in Montclair and is certified with Yoga Alliance of America. Prior to teaching yoga, she has been a teacher of dance, dancer and choreographer since 1989. She has an MA in Dance Ethnology, the study of movement within a multi cultural context. She taught dance ethnology at university level and has led a dance company in Malaysia. Her dance journey has always been based on her innate interest in how people (including her Self) express their states of being through movement. Yoga, to her, is an extension of this curiosity.
Lena is grateful for the goodness that yoga has brought into her life and her teachers who have guided and continue to guide her in her yoga journey.
