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 & meditation practice. I noticed my body craved the movement yoga provided and that meditation helped me find peace in my body and mind. I would practice at home 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 maintaining a practice at home. 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 yoga teacher training with Michelle Flemming in Plymouth Ma and received my 200 hour training certification in 2014 and began teaching yoga. I continued my education and went on to received my 500 hour teacher training certification in 2019.

I am currently a RYT-500, and hold several other certifications in Yoga Nidra, Yin Yoga, Adaptive Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Trauma Informed Yoga, as well as Reiki & Thai Massage. I have hosted retreats and workshops locally and internationally. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and pups, and our traveling adventures together.

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 that I tend to blend different styles of yoga together to make a unique class.

My goal is 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 & to find peace in your body and mind, both on and off your yoga mat. When our practice is complete, I hope you feel grounded, and restored with an overall feeling of calm. I look forward to seeing you on your yoga mat.
