Yoga and Dance Teacher

Jelena entered this world dancing… her love for rhythm and music instilled in her by her parents from a tender age. Her heritage is a blend of Jamaican from her mother and Swiss from her father, enriching her with diverse cultural influences. After years dedicated to exploring the realms of professional dance, choreography, and teaching various styles, Jelena finds her greatest fulfillment in guiding others toward a deeper connection with their bodies and hearts, allowing the authentic expression of truth to unfold. Formerly the owner of a dance and yoga studio, she has transitioned to sharing her philosophy of "Embodiment & Empowerment as Medicine" across the globe through workshops, coaching, trainings, and retreats. Her mission is to inspire individuals to embrace the dance of life, fostering unity and connection among all.

 

In 2019 she created her own Facilitator Training called Embodied Woman Empowerment Training. It is designed for women who wish to step fully into their feminine essence and share sacred spaces with others through movement and embodiment practices.Jelena discovered her passion for teaching at a very young age and became a primary school teacher when she was 21.
