SERENA ARORA
B.ED | M.HT | E-RYT 500 | YACEP | C-IAYT certified yoga therapist | Ayurvedic Health Practitioner
Her yogi uncle in India once told her, “We don’t STUDY yoga, we ARE yoga.” And so began her life-long journey embodying the wisdom of yoga.
As a certified Yoga Therapist, Ayurvedic Health Practitioner, former academic school teacher, group home director, and yogapreneur for over 20 years, Serena brings a unique depth of knowledge, rich experience, intuitive leadership, and insightful passion to her offerings. Her perspective on healing is informed by the wisdom of Ayurvedic Medicine, the functionality of yoga therapy, and the neuroscience of somatic, subtle body work, and personal development. Both she and her offerings are dynamic, creative, and well-informed.
Her integrated approach is shaped by studying with many teachers and mentors around the world including Dr. Vasant Lad, Dr. Scott Blossom, Dr. Rajesh Kotecha, Dr. Terry Willard, Tias & Surya Little, Joseph & Lilian Lepage, Sri Geeta Iyengar, and especially her first ‘guru’, her dad.
Serena served as former teaching faculty for The Ayurvedic Institute (NM, USA), Ayurveda Urbana (CDMX) and Soma Yoga Institute (CA, USA). She currently lives in Costa Rica where she serves as Creative Director and Resident Ayurvedic Practitioner for Peace Retreat Costa Rica & Co-Founder & Lead Trainer for Swastha Yoga International. Serena is grateful to teach, inspire, affect change, and transform lives through BEING yoga.
“Serena walks the talk, reflects the energy, light, and heart of yoga. Her practice of yoga is an inspiring lifestyle. She is a wonderful yoga practitioner, therapist, and human. She has a beautiful gift in her teaching and practice...she changes, engages, stimulates lives. I feel mine has forever changed and I am so excited to find the direction this takes me!”
