Carlene faithfully completed her 200 hour vinyasa yoga teacher training at Toronto’s esteemed Mula Yoga Studio, under the direction of internationally acclaimed yoga teacher Hana Lukac. Since then, she has gone on to acquire certifications in Yin + Mindfulness and Yoga Nidra, amongst others.
Carlene’s classes are experienced as a moving meditation. Incorporating seamless flows, breath (pranayama), mantra and an emphasis on the subtle (energy) body, Carlene gracefully guides her students towards new discoveries on the mat. She is forever seeking opportunities to deepen her practice, while sharing the wisdom of yoga to all.
