Jelena’s path to yoga was intertwined with her passion for dance. As a former ballet dancer for 16 years, the structured rigour of the Ashtanga Yoga practice resonated deeply with her. Drawn to the discipline’s emphasis on mindfulness of movement and the profound connection between breath and practice, Jelena dedicated her entire focus to Ashtanga Yoga in 2009. Jelena’s holds  Level 2 Authorization with the Sharath Yoga Centre.
