SERENA ARORA

B.ED | M.HT | Bestselling Author | yoga therapist | Ayurvedic Health Practitioner

Born in Canada to a Chinese mother and Indian father, her yogi uncle in India once told her, “We don’t STUDY yoga, we ARE yoga.” And so began her life-long journey embodying the wisdom of yoga.

With her rich Asian heritage, Serena brings a lifetime of Eastern wisdom and over twenty-five years of diverse lived experience to her teaching, training, and writing. A former teacher and director for troubled youth, Serena was deeply impacted by the widespread insecurity she observed in the young women she worked with. Because she was once them.

As an Ayurvedic health practitioner and yoga therapist, Serena empowers women to break free from the noise of external expectations and cultivate conscious relationships—beginning with themselves. Serena believes, when more women channel their inherited resources toward a sustainable, soul-led path, the more power they will hold to spark healing—within both themselves and the heart of humanity itself.

Her integrated approach is shaped by studying with many teachers and mentors around the world including Dr. Vasant Lad, Dr. Scott Blossom, Dr. Rajesh Kotecha, Dr. Terry Willard, Tias & Surya Little, Joseph & Lilian Lepage, the late Sri Geeta Iyengar, and especially her first ‘guru’, her dad.

Serving as former teaching faculty for The Ayurvedic Institute (USA), Serena now lives in the lush jungle of Costa Rica with her beloved partner, where she facilitates trainings and hosts retreats at their wellness retreat and spa on the Pacific Gold Coast. She is grateful to teach, inspire, affect change, and transform lives through BEING yoga.
