A few weeks ago, my childhood bestie who still lives in Chile texted me to share that she’d be spending a few days in Orlando with her family in September. The last time I saw her was at least 3 years ago, and considering we both have little kids, there is still a pandemic going on, and that we ha...
Hi friends, welcome to July! The boys and I recently returned from a lovely 2 weeks visiting my parents and sisters in Philadelphia. As always, saying goodbye was bittersweet - I hate not being a short car drive away from any of them, but I really, really love sleeping in my own bed! In any case...
Hi friends, welcome to May! This month, our yoga teacher trainees are completing their last requirements before graduation. Over the past 12 weeks, they have studied the physical anatomy and energetic qualities of a wide range of yoga poses, learned about intentional sequencing and structuring wel...
Aside from the fact that the words cohort, group, hive, pack, or flock didn't seem quite right, I landed on Yoga Pods for our new offering because this particular term has special meaning for me. For as long as I can remember, my sisters and I have considered ourselves 3 peas in a pod, and even...

March Newsletter from Yogaleena is out today:)
Hi friends, welcome to March. Spring is right around the corner, but it seems that my backyard missed the memo. Everywhere I look, I see ugly brown grass, wilted succulents, dry Birds of Paradise, and bloom-less Bougainvillea.

Life, and it’s inherent challenges, can seem really daunting if we feel like we’re on this journey all alone. Surrounding yourself with an intimate community of like-hearted and open-minded people who are navigating the same choppy waters can be so nurturing and healing. Yoga teaches us that although our paths are unique, they are not separate.
Our Yogaleena School offerings are all about creating a safe space for students to feel like they belong, like they don’t have to do this thing called life all alone. We teach you the tools and philosophies that can change your perspective, and offer you the opportunity to build connections that nourish you along the way.
Our 200-hour Teacher Training and Immersion & Mentorship programa kick off January 2021. Join us 💕

I’m thrilled to be leading a virtual flow next Saturday, 9:30am to support MetaVivor, an outstanding organization dedicated to eradicating metastatic disease.
This opportunity was brought to me by one of my students, who along with her sister, organize a wellness event every year in memory of their young cousin who lost her battle with breast cancer.
This cause is close and dear to my heart as my own beautiful cousin was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. Since our studio is close to the Houston Med center, I’ve also had the privilege of working with so many strong women fighting this disease and their incredible families supporting them every step of the way.
Let’s come together, in (virtual) body and heart, to end this life-threatening disease.

Hello there, my name is Carolina and I am the founder of Yogaleena Studio & Boutique. I want to personally welcome you to our lovely hOMe and thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this yoga studio and community.
I fell in love with yoga 11 years ago when I was juggling a stressful corporate job, an MBA program at Georgetown University, and all of the messy emotions of being a single gal in my 20s. I desperately needed a place to unwind, breathe, and figure out what the heck I really wanted for myself. I took my first yoga class at Tranquil Space in D.C. with a mixture of skepticism and excitement.
To be honest, it wasn’t love at first breath – the poses were strange, I felt silly chanting “OM”, and the dude next to me sounded like he was halfway through a marathon. But there was something about the space and the teachers, the aromatherapy during savasana, the hands-on-assists, the music, and the beautiful quotes that were read at the end, that made me feel at ease, warm, and loved….and I kept coming back.
Over time, the practice made me feel strong, balanced, and confident. My mind started to clear, my creativity came back to life, and I found myself taking everything a little less seriously. So, not to be overly dramatic, but yoga kinda changed my life.
From those early days on my mat at Tranquil Space, I started playing with the idea of opening my own yoga studio so that I could share this amazing practice with pretty much anyone willing to give it a shot. And here we are today, almost a decade later, you and I and a community of yogis practicing together in a lovely yoga nook on S. Shepherd Drive. Holy moly, I guess dreams do come true!
Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey, for coming to your mat even when you don’t freakin’ feel like it, and for sharing your brightness with us at Yogaleena.
