Malena koes

Teacher / owner

My yoga journey began in 2017 when I stepped into a Power Yoga class as a compliment to running and other exercises. After one class, I felt the presence of a community that accepted me just as I showed up. As a newly Registered Nurse working a demanding inpatient job, I felt peace on my mat. This “hobby” grew into a constant craving for movement and discovery. Then COVID entered the chat. Then marriage and babies entered the chat. Yoga is always where I feel at home in myself no matter what life throws my way.

I completed my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training at Humble Haven Yoga in Richmond, VA and immediately began teaching after relocating to Chicago, IL. I am also passionate about teaching Yin Yoga and I am a Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher. My goal is to show up for you no matter what phase of life you find yourself in. This practice is power.

Off the mat, you can find me working as a school nurse and enjoying West Chester, PA with my husband, two kids, and golden retriever.
