“I took my first class from Selena almost two years ago, and I still remember it. Why? Because during that class I had this moment like, “hell yeah” - I found my teacher. Since that first class, I’ve taken dozens of classes from Selena and every time, I walk away with a bit more... A bit more knowledge, awareness, spark, spunk, love, breath, understanding... every time, I walk away feeling a bit more alive."
My asana practice has grown and benefited from Selena’s mindful sequencing and every other part of my yoga practice (and life) has grown and benefited from knowing her. Selena is an amazing teacher. She’s knowledgeable on every level you could want. She has soul and spirit. She is honest and raw. She’s freaking witty and hilarious. She shows up and requires that you show up for yourself. More importantly than being an amazing teacher, Selena is one of the best people that I know. Anyone is lucky to cross paths with this wonderful human and I highly recommend that you do.”

"I came with a notebook and yoga mat ready to learn.
I left with so much more than a few more yoga tricks and a cool story to tell.
I left empowered, inspired and excited. I left with new tools and a new perspective on the choices and actions I've taken or not taken towards personal my development."
I was introduced to the history of traditional yoga that I've always wanted to learn. The practices pushed me out of my comfort zone, passed my limiting beliefs of what I thought my body was capable of doing. Her passion for learning is not just for her benefit. It gracefully flows over into her teachings. Forever grateful.

"Selena's workshop will inspire, educate, and empower you to pursue and uncover your authentic self. She is not your teacher if you wish to be coddled or spoon fed. She will provoke fundamental questioning that invites you to strip away the self limiting stories, practices, and habits that hold you back from your greatest potential. Go to her class, shake the dust, and breathe life into your dry bones."
