About Serena

I grew up in Massachusetts and have a love for the ocean, animals, nature, movement, and travel. I started working in the beauty industry in the early 2000’s. It was fun and fast paced but it was also stressful and I found over many years of working as a cosmetologist that I was burned out and not enjoying it as much as I had in the past. This was when I really started to commit to my yoga practice. I started meditating daily and practicing yoga. I noticed my body craved the movement yoga provided and that meditating also helped me find a peace in my body and mind. I would practice at my house and at local studios regularly. I found every time I practiced I continued to gain a calmer mind stronger body and a sense of peace that I had never felt from anything else before. I continued to take classes from different studios and teachers as well as keep up a home practice. I decided that since I loved the benefits of practicing so much that I wanted to help others learn by sharing the practice with them.

I did my first teacher training with Michelle Flemming in Plymouth Ma and received my 200 hour training certificate in 2014 and started teaching yoga. I continued to practice and teach yoga and then went on to receive my 500 hour teacher training certificate in 2019.

I am currently a RYT- 500, holding several other certifications in Yoga Nidra, Yin Yoga, Adaptive Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Trauma Informed Yoga, as well as Reiki & Thai Massage. I have held retreats and workshops locally and internationally. In my free time, I continue to enjoy my home yoga practice as well as practicing at local studios. I enjoy spending time with my husband and pups, and traveling.

What I hope you find in your practice

I teach yoga and meditation because they are incredible tools that worked for me but are proven to help relieve stress and tension. When you practice with me, I hope you find peace and stillness on your yoga mat. Yoga is truly for every body, there is no right or wrong way to practice. The most important thing in yoga is honoring your body and what it needs while focusing on your breath. Yoga and meditation both help with stress & pain management as well as anxiety, sports injuries and so much more. I offer meditation & yoga classes varying from chair yoga, restorative, slow flow Vinyasa, Yin, and more. You will find I tend to balance different styles of yoga together to make a unique class.

Practicing with me, I hope you feel welcome and at ease as you gain a sense of peace on your mat. I wish to teach you how to tune in to your body and mind while showing you a new way to breathe to help alleviate daily stress & how to find peace in your body and mind on and off your mat. When practice is complete, I hope you feel grounded, and restored with a overall feeling of calm. I look forward to sharing in practice with you.
