Conscious Courage
200Hr YTT

At the heart of the Conscious Courage Yoga Collective is a beautiful blend of Yoga and Positive Action. My aim goes beyond personal boundaries, inviting you to explore yoga not only for yourself but as part of a shared consciousness. In addition to yoga being a solo journey of self-discovery, I see it as a commitment to the well-being of humanity. As we break down the illusion of being solely individuals, a powerful truth emerges – liberation is woven into our collective experience.

I believe true freedom encompasses more than just personal rights. It’s about the freedom to nourish our bodies, express our voices, find peace in our homes, and live without fear. This freedom isn’t just on the surface: it’s about liberation on physical, mental, and spiritual levels. I hold onto the belief that genuine freedom is a shared experience – none of us are truly free until all of us are.

We’re on a journey to reshape our thoughts and lifestyles for the greater good. On The Conscious Courage 200 Hr YTT, I warmly invite you to be part of this gentle yet transformative adventure toward a liberated existence for everyone. We will be exploring our practice and how to share it with love and with impact. Join us, and let’s walk this path together!

What Friends Had to Say

Jaclyn

I recently had the pleasure of participating in Serena’s post Yoga Teacher Training mentorship, and it was truly a transformative experience. From the very beginning, Serena created a warm and welcoming atmosphere where I felt supported and understood. She has an incredible ability to tune into individual needs and challenges, always providing thoughtful and personalized guidance.
The mentorship was not only practical and hands-on but also deeply inspiring. Serena's approach was both challenging and encouraging, helping me gain invaluable insights into the reality of teaching in a yoga studio. She shared her extensive knowledge with such passion and care, making each session feel like a safe space to learn, grow and ask questions.
One of the biggest milestones for me was finding the confidence to teach my first class, something I never thought I’d be ready for. Serena’s mentorship gave me the tools and courage to take that step, and for that, I’m incredibly grateful.
This mentorship was so much more than just learning. It was a heartfelt and empowering experience that will stay with me for a long time. Thank you Serena

“The mentorship program offered by Serena was just what I needed as I finished my YTT and left the country – to start afresh ‘back home.’ While missing my teacher and friends from YTT, the mentorship scheduled weekly allowed me to stay connected and was also a gentle reminder of the wonderful things I had learned during YTT and how to take them forward. The workshops covered a diverse range of topics, and each worked to equip us with different tools – for some the focus around how to develop business plans and social media presences and for others to think about the philosophical ‘why’ of the yoga teaching we are trained to give. Highly recommended if you are newly minted YTT or just need a refresher (and confidence boost) for teaching classes anywhere in the world!”

Eleonora

I graduated Serena’s online post YTT mentorship program in April 2024 after completing her urban YTT in Sri Lanka in June 2023. After teaching for about 6 months I felt like I was ready to dive deeper into my teaching practice, and to improve, develop, keep and learn, some aspects I wanted to brush up on.
The schedule was very comfortable and adjustable. It was a small group so all of us had plenty of individual time with Serena and Shehani.
The lectures were very well balanced and easy to understand.
Besides the schedule we also had time to ask personally what we wanted to improve and work on, for me it was keeping the  confidence as a new yoga teacher. The  journey was very emotional for me but at the end of the sessions, I had so many tips and tricks to use and so much information to process that I had plenty of work even after the mentorship had ended.
I would recommend this mentorship to anyone who recently completed the YTT course and are still looking for a helping hand along this beautiful journey!
Om Shanti
