Alena Sentir

Alena entered her 200 Hour yoga teacher training in 2015 when her father was stricken with pancreatic cancer as a way to cope and learn how to encourage others to seek solace in times of stress. Alena enjoys seeing new yogis discover the benefits of yoga on their own terms and cultivate their own personal yoga journey. She has a light-hearted style, appealing to those that are new to yoga and those that enjoy a playful and accepting atmosphere that is welcome to all levels of practice.

Initially beginning her personal yoga journey in 2007, it wasn’t until she became pregnant with her daughter in 2011 that she started a regular practice. Experiencing the physical and mental benefits of yoga on the pregnant body and mind, while discovering how pranayama techniques can aid in the labor/birth process inspired Alena to pursue specialized certification in prenatal yoga. In her professional work as a board certified art therapist, licensed mental health counselor, and certified perinatal mental health provider, Alena also enjoys integrating the benefits of yoga and mindfulness into her therapy practice.
