Jelena Stanovenko

I was born in Latvia and discovered yoga over ten years ago — at first, just out of curiosity. My early classes were tough, and I almost quit, but life had its own way of bringing me back to the mat.
After years in the corporate world, juggling endless studies and constant busyness, I found myself burned out — disconnected from my body and overwhelmed by stress. Yoga became my reset button and, eventually, my anchor.

Over time, I realized that yoga isn’t about touching your toes or mastering poses — it’s about coming home to yourself, learning to breathe again, and finding calm even in the messiness of life.

In my classes, I share the same spirit — movement that feels good, connection that feels real, and space to simply be yourself.

Outside the mat, I’m a very active person — I love hiking, swimming, biking, exploring new places, and spending time in nature. I’m drawn to mountains, movement, and anything that makes me feel alive. My year might stretch like three to others — always adventurous, always changing — but why not let life be a little messy and be here for all of it?
