About me

Selena Isles –  Where I’m from
I am a yoga +meditation teacher, speaker, producer and international DJ Seriousblack. 
I am a little boy mama, I’m an Aquarius (double scorpio, in case anyone was asking) I’m a lover of all things soulful and analog, basically an analog girl in a digital world. I love sneakers, vinyls, and street art aka graffiti; two my favourite movies are High Fidelity and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
I love road trips, 90s rap and hip hop culture, rose petal oat milk lattes and slow quiet mornings with books. I am also the forerunner of embracing chaos and how to do that without losing your shit. Yes I cuss, it’s good for clearing your throat chakra and to make sure everyone’s listening. 
Making my life a ritual are the practices that bring me back to myself, the passions of my life.
I want to share that passion with you.

About my class and techniques:

Come prepared to breathe, sweat, and LAUGH together. Each class is a dynamic event, a celebration that nurtures your personal practice and roots you deep in the practice. You’ll find the beats and vibrations of bhakti musicians and hip-hop artists, a practice inspired by the full moon or the 5 elements, a candlelit evening flow or a sunlit morning wake-up call. So wherever you are, however you are, whatever day of the week, show up and bring it.

Other Services:
