Teaching Style and Approach:
Yelena is a passionate teacher who is fully present for her clients each and every day. She focuses 100% on each person as an individual, analyzing their movement and challenging their efforts. She values being clear, consistent, and logical when explaining movements and giving cues because it is important to her to see that clients understand why they are doing certain movements and how to do them correctly.
Yelena is lovingly known to be a demanding teacher. She is intense, disciplined, strong-minded and challenging. Yet her clients also find her humorous, deeply caring, and never boring! She is always thinking about what else she can do for her clients and is completely dedicated to their success.
