Ileana was searching for a natural path to wellness, when she experienced a glimpse of stillness during her first yoga class, eight years ago. Her practice, coupled with her desire to deepen her knowledge inspired her to complete the 200-hour training in Hatha Yoga at The Deerfield Yoga Center. She is a registered yoga teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, and certified thru the American Heart Association Heartsaver AED Program.

Her goal is to create a compassionate, heart centered class, where each student can reach beyond their perceived limitations. She brings a unique awareness of body alignment and movement, with clear instructions and humor. Always reminding you to stay present and breathe…

Presently, Ileana teaches at The Yoga Source in Coral Springs, and substitutes at the Adolph and Rose Levis JCC, and Mission Bay Community Association in Boca Raton. She teaches Hatha, Gentle Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Chair Yoga.

Her yoga practice continues to evolve through self study, classes and workshops with an array of incredibly inspiring teachers which have all helped to influence her unique style of teaching .

Ileana resides in Coral Springs, Florida with her husband and two sons.
