What Our Students Are Saying


"Selena's training is the third Yoga Teacher Training that I have been a part of. With other trainings I still felt that I was missing part of the picture. Selena is steeped in the knowledge of the yoga tradition and she will not spoon feed you the information. Instead, she gives you the tools you need to ask better questions, deepen your relationship with yoga on and off the mat, and become steeped in the knowledge yourself."

Riley

"Selena asks her students to dig deeper, to be vulnerable, and to be authentic. The yoga sequences are simple but humbling. It was easy for me to see where I needed to do more work. Simultaneously, I was feeling empowered. Selena gave us information and tools we could use to deal with some of our issues. I left wanting to know more, not just from her, not just about yoga, but from the sources she cites and the various schools of knowledge she wraps into her trainings."

Kyra

"She truly comprehends the complexity and pitfalls of the human experience on such a vast level. Her craving of knowledge and ability to make it accessible and easily integratabtle in your life is transformational. I left the workshop inspired but also immediately started implementing communication skills I learned; which will improve all my relationships, most importantly the one with myself. I don’t think the knowledge and insight you gain from a Selena workshop is as fleeting as some because of the myriad of tools she supplies to you. She is dedicated to providing every student a useful and meaningful way to process and implement the information she presents."
