Lena grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area doing gymnastics, dance, arts & crafts, theater, and playing outside. She moved to San Diego in 2002 for undergrad studies at UC San Diego where she completed a BA in Ethnic Studies, danced a lot of modern dance, ate a lot of burritos, and further learned to appreciate education as social justice. After college she found the physicality of yoga to be a delightful and challenging way to move her body without competition. Uncertain of her next direction, she attended graduate school at San Diego State University where she completed her MA in Women's Studies and began a multiple subject teaching credential for elementary education. She taught dance to children, volunteered with the International Rescue Committee, and served as a member of AmeriCorps, before deepening her yoga practice with her first yoga teacher training in 2011. She has since completed her 500-hour yoga teaching certification, an 85-hour prenatal certification, the Prison Yoga Project training, and workshops and trainings on a myriad of continuing education interests. The spiritual aspects of yoga have aided her in the never-ending search for peace, calm, and positivity within, and I'm passionate about sharing these tools with others. Her other favorite healing modalities include hiking, writing, cold plunges, and chocolate. She's intentional about taking yoga off the mat and loves finding the bridges between the heart & mind, the individual & community, and mindfulness & expression. For the last decade she has been enamored with travel and grateful to have led many yoga + adventure retreats throughout California & internationally. To ensure safety on retreats and personal backpacking trips, she has training as a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) through NOLS. Lena offers a Hatha/Vinyasa class that includes asana, pranayama, mudras, mantras, and a philosophical theme woven throughout. Learn more about Lena: www.phantommoonholistics.com
