Serene started yoga in March 2013 after her busy job and foodie nature resulted in a few extra pounds that became difficult to shift. Not a big fan of endless hours on a treadmill, she looked for other alternatives. As a former gymnast, yoga seemed like a natural choice for her, but she would never have thought that yoga would become her passion and transform her lifestyle after she stepped into PURE Yoga Chevron House’s studio for the first time. Hot Yoga helped Serene to develop outstanding focus to balance out her day-to-day scatterbrain tendencies. In 2015, Serene began her teacher training on the recommendation of her teacher, Prakash Singh Bisht. Now a qualified yoga teacher, Serene still sees herself as a student who continues to explore and learn to develop her yoga practice and teaching.

Serene is thankful to all her yoga teachers who have shared their wisdom and inspiration along her yoga journey. Rene, Hee Boon, Copper, Prakash and Arun have particularly inspired Serene in different ways.

Serene’s classes are invigorating and yet nurturing. She is a firm believer that yoga is for everyone no matter what background or physical level. She believes yoga can be done by anyone free of judgement and preconceptions, all we need is an open heart and mind and the rest will come naturally.
