Cultural savvy, authentic knowledge, unique creativity, and rich humour is the foundation for how Serena continues to share her long-time passion for yoga, fitness, food and life. She is best known for her skillful fusion of experience, practicality and playfulness into her inspirational classes, wellness presentations, retreats and yoga teacher trainings.
As a former school teacher, she would also consider herself a life-long student, and attributes her open-minded approach to yoga to her experiences, teachers and mentors around the world; Ms. Geeta Iyengar, Nevidita Joshi, Joseph & Lilian Lepage, Molly Lannon Kenny, Sandra Coombe, Rockne White, Alice Bracegirdle, Helen Vanderburg and, especially her very first 'guruji', her dad.
Having practiced yoga as a child and having taught since 1999, Serena currently owns THRIVE!...Naturally Yoga & Wellness, a unique lakeside studio retreat in Lac La Biche, Alberta, Canada - a direct result of her love for yoga, nature, and global wellness. As a Registered Yoga School, THRIVE! Naturally is not only the perfect natural setting for the 21 day residential intensive with the Integrative Yoga Therapy 200 hour Therapeutic Yoga Teacher Training, but is also considered by many, a valuable treasure in the midst of Alberta's Lakeland.
"Yoga is the practice of tolerating the consequences of being yourself." - Bhagavad Gita
