Tenya has been teaching her dynamic flow yoga, gentle yoga and  private yoga sessions on the beautiful island of Maui since 2009. Her teaching journey began in 1988 teaching dance and movement classes and since 1999 she has been teaching yoga classes, private yoga sessions, workshops and retreats internationally. Through her extensive trainings with a wide range of world-renown yoga teachers and her own personal practice, Tenya has developed her own unique style of dynamic and graceful Hatha Vinyasa Flow yoga class, infused with her passion for music and dance. 

Tenya originally trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, and has been training with Shiva Rea since 2001. She includes her vast experience and knowledge as a past dancer, fitness and movement instructor, and certified personal trainer into her yoga sessions. As well as her yoga certifications, she also hold a BA from University of Massachusetts, Boston in Theater, Dance, and Fitness.
Tenyas dynamic classes are both creative and fun, energizing but relaxing. She sequences with a mindful and graceful flow of postures, linking asanas with pranayama, while incorporating gentle, relaxing, and restorative techniques. Her goal is to provide her students with the tools necessary to carry the yoga practice on and off the mat, emphasizing the importance of perseverance, honesty, and mindfulness in order to find peace. Tenya teaches island-style with a sense of "aloha" and her classes can best be described as creative, passionate, enthusiastic, warm, and open-hearted.
Her extensive background, knowledge, and experience allows her to teach all levels of yoga. Tenya  is available to teach yoga classes, workshops, retreats, and private sessions from beginners to advanced. Her passion for yoga balances the physical and spiritual element for overall well-being. "Be in the present moment, listen to the sat-guru (inner guru) that’s inside you, embrace the well being qualities of yoga, and most importantly enjoy the process."  
 Tenya loves the sense of community that yoga brings into her life on and off the mat. When she is not on the mat you may find her at the beach with her family.
