Lena Castro Gutierrez

Yoga

Guided by the Bhagavad Gita, Lena sees yoga as "a journey of the self, through the self, to the self." A practice that goes well beyond the physical postures (āsana) to embrace yoga in its fullest sense.

Lena's journey began in Hong Kong in 2005 and has been shaped by teachers and traditions across California, Colorado, Washington D.C., Hawai'i, New Mexico, and New York. She completed her Yoga Teacher Training with the Hawai'i Yoga Institute on the Big Island, and has also served as an Assistant Instructor for a 200-hour YTT with HYI on O'ahu. She holds Reiki II Training in Usui Shiki Ryoho, deepening her connection to the healing arts.

Lena brings all of this to her classes at BODY, creating an inclusive, welcoming space where students explore yoga as a holistic path to well-being.
