Hi, I’m Lorena — a yoga teacher, functional nutritionist, and mother with over 15 years of experience supporting women and families through every stage of life.
My journey with yoga began in 2002, when I took my first class and instantly felt its transformative power. That path took me all the way to Rishikesh, India, where I studied at Parmarth Niketan Ashram with my mentor, Samantha Shakti. From there, I immersed myself in extensive training: a 200-hour certification at Avalon Yoga Center, prenatal yoga studies in Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz, and a deep dive into Anusara Yoga with Kenny Graham and other inspiring teachers.
Motherhood deepened my passion for perinatal wellness. After the birth of my son, I trained in mom & baby yoga, completed the Birthing From Within childbirth education program, and became certified with It’s Yoga Kids, bringing yoga into my family and community.
In 2016, I completed my 300-hour advanced yoga certification at Balanced Action Yoga (BAY), where I gained tools to design safe, effective, and sustainable practices for every body.
I’ve also expanded into functional nutrition, studying with Andrea Nakayama and earning my certification as a Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner. This integrative lens helps me support clients holistically—from hormones to digestion to energy—especially during perimenopause, pregnancy and postpartum.
In 2017, I co-founded In Harmony Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training and in 2022, I launched The Complete Pregnancy Solution—a program that blends yoga, nutrition, and lifestyle support for expecting moms.
Whether I'm teaching a class, designing a wellness plan, or guiding someone through pregnancy, my mission is the same: to help people reconnect with their bodies, find balance, and feel empowered through every phase of life.
