Yoga with Zena is fundamentally a healing practice.

Stress & trauma are not uncommon; learning to deal with them in healthier ways is at the core of my work.  I completed my 200hr CYT as a certified teacher in the Sivananda Ashram in 2009 and I have been teaching regularly ever since. 
My teaching style is gentle, creative and eclectic, drawing on various schools of body-mind practices including yoga, tai chi, qi gong, continuum movement, 5 Rhythms and embodied anatomy. I love to teach! It's my passion to help people connect with their own body from a place of curiosity and deep listening, accessing an inner knowing.

In 2018, I became a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) for trauma healing following a 3-year training approach founded by award-winning body-based psychotherapist Dr. Peter Levine.  I've been assisting trainings international ever since, notable in Cairo and Budapest.
My private practice in somatics is also informed by Dr. Aline LaPierre's NeuroAffective Touch which addresses traumas in the earliest years of life, Lizbeth Marcher's Bodynamics  which examines muscle tension patterns through the lens of developmental psychology, and Kate White's Foundations of Pre-natal & Perinatal Trauma which offers an integrative approach to healing birth, pre-birth and transgenerational trauma.
