“Genia’s passion for understanding the intrinsic healing properties of food goes beyond creating tasty and healthy meals. She creates wholistic food experiences that nourish body, mind and soul to enhance wellbeing on all levels. She embodies the wisdom gained from deep study and extensive experience which she shares with depth and ease.”

“As a Yoga Instructor, I am always in search of a mentor who I can learn from, be inspired by, and connect with spiritually.  

I have found this connection with Genia’s yoga classes where I learn new instructional language, intelligent sequencing, and find myself swept away in her genuine spirituality.  

Genia’s knowledge about the history of yoga, and the human body is extensive and enlightening.  She is enthusiastic and actively present.  

In Yoga we are always preaching about “self care”.  Genia’s Yoga classes are one of my few “self care” indulgence’s.  

With so much admiration and appreciation, Liz”

“Genia has a heart of gold!  She is a master chef and yoga instructor who is extremely knowledgeable on all things health and wellness.  She shares her wisdom, kindness, compassion, light and love with everyone she meets.  Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Genia will be truly blessed.”

-Erin Linde, Certified Holistic and Integrative Health Coach

“I have been practicing yoga with Genia for many years. Her wisdom has helped me personally grow and to understand yoga more fully. I have learned to reflect inside myself, without passing any judgment. I have learned how my body, my mind, my heart and my soul are all connected- and depend on each other. I work hard to be fully present on the mat, without distractions, and ‘clean out my junk drawers’.

By opening my physical body, I try to connect more to my thoughts and my energy within. My hope is to share that energy, that light,  with those I love and encounter each day. This is my inspiration in Genia’s class.”

-Diane Wendelken, Yoga Student 

“Genia is a yoga teacher who truly teaches from her heart. What I love about Genia’s classes is that you get a bit of everything. Attention is always given to the breath and practice of pranayama. Her guided asana practice always feels vigorous enough where I am building up heat yet her gentle and encouraging demeanor always reminds me not to push myself to a point of discomfort. It’s the perfect balance!

Genia knows yoga is much more than just the asanas. She has a philosophical theme for every class that she weaves in throughout the practice. She always ends each class with a beautiful savasana incorporating essential oils and music.

Genia’s 8:00 AM Sunday morning classes are a great way to center and start my week off on a positive note!”
