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. My teaching style is gentle and eclectic, drawing on various schools of yoga and body-mind practices including tai chi, qi gong and embodied anatomy. I completed my 200hr CYT as a certified teacher in the Sivananda Ashram in 2009 and I have been teaching regularly ever since.

Since 2018, I also became a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP),  trained in a trauma healing approach founded by award-winning body-based psychotherapist Dr. Peter Levine.  
My practice is also informed by NeuroAffective Touch, which addresses traumas in the earliest years of life, Bodynamics  which explores muscle tension and patterns  through the lens of developmental psychology, and Foundations of Pre-natal & Perinatal Trauma which helps process birth, pre-birth and transgenerational trauma.
