[ La Sirena Yoga & Wellness ]

Serena Acker, 200 RYT

Born and raised on the Mendocino coast, a community of healers, Serena believes that yoga can be practiced on and off the mat and is a way to better understand and love ourselves, and the bodies in which we live. 

Under the belief that any body can do yoga, she tailors to the needs of her students, meeting them where they are and providing options and modifications.  In a traditional class, while connecting movement with breath, she weaves together active and more gentle postures in a creative and playful sequence, leaving the body feeling balanced, refreshed and strong. 

Serena has been actively practicing yoga for more than 10 years, primarily a vinyasa flow style. She dedicated herself to a regular yoga practice, after years of competitive athletics had begun to take a toll on her body. In 2015, she trained with Marianne Wells in Costa Rica and received her 200 hour certification.  She has been teaching ever since. She has continued to study under different teachers and completed many continuing education courses over the years, primarily with Justine Lemos, PHD at At One Yoga in Fort Bragg, CA.
