Ilene has been inspired by so many wonderful teachers outside of my Cleveland Yoga home as well as my teachers within!

My yoga journey is especially motivated and inspired by my Husband and adult children Sammy and Jared. All have chosen careers rooted in constant growth, commitment, and service.  Watching my children evolve, reminds me that growth is lifelong, on and off the mat. Through yoga, I aim to provide a supportive space where my students can explore their breath, strength, curiosity, openness for change, self discovery.....and, meet themself wherever they are, with growth and intention...

My recent travels have included a European Cruise, which was in celebration of our milestone wedding anniversary.  My down time and escape is "working out", playing Pickleball and long walks/hikes with my dog "Banks". 

CY has been part of my life and my entire family since the original days at the Hamptons!   As a teacher and student, I have grown and changed with the changes along the way, yet loved being part of the roots of where it all began.  I am proud of my loyalty and commitment and embrace the ability to be part of the ongoing progress of our studio!
