about gina skene

I guide dedicated students in fierce strength and awareness practices through a lens of kindness and love. I was a bit surprised when my students started to call me ‘The Silent Assassin’ but then it started to make sense since I believe the tools of yoga are amazingly potent and I strive to offer them in powerful classes with gentle, accessible instruction.  I love to create intelligent, challenging sequences that set the stage for healthy bodies and new thought patterns.

I often say that low cobra saved my life and it’s actually pretty true.  I showed up in a yoga class with chronic neck pain that was then resolved within a few months of practicing yoga and the rest is history. I’ve taught yoga in the Seattle area for over 15 years and have a ton of experience practicing and teaching styles ranging from Ashtanga to Therapeutic Yoga.  Most recently I earned my Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist certification which allows me to deep dive into anatomy and physiology to better understand why these practices work. I am endlessly fascinated by the brilliance of the human mind and body and love sharing spaces to explore their potential for growth.As I continue to teach and stream group classes, I have created my one-on-one sessions to more deeply explore how yoga practices can support individuals’ mental and physical health.
