Certified Yoga Teacher

As a former competitive equestrian, Alena grew up with an interest in challenging her mind and body, and an appreciation for the rewards of disciplined training. Alena has been studying yoga asana and philosophy for 15 years and is an E-RYT500. Over the last 12 years she has taught yoga both nationally and internationally, led over 30 teacher trainings in both the Vinyasa and Traditional Hot practices, and has had the opportunity to study under the guidance of several renowned teachers. Alena is currently pursuing her Juris Doctorate at Brooklyn Law School. Like teaching yoga, she sees the practice of law as more than a profession - it is a tool to serve people through the ability to advocate for others and to be part of something that is bigger than herself individually.
