About Me

I grew up in San José, Costa Rica, and went to college at CSU Chico, California, thanks to a Fulbright Scholarship. Upon graduation I returned to Costa Rica for a couple of years and then came back to California. This is my home sweet home, I simply love it.

Today I work as a web developer for the State of California and teach yoga (my true passion.)

I discovered ashtanga yoga in 2003 while attending a 3-Day Juice Fast Retreat. Just imagine the irresistable combination of fasting and sweaty vinyasas. From that day on I knew I wanted to learn more, do more, and be more yoga. There was no doubt, I had found my inner yogini.

My name, Xenia, comes from a Greek word that means hospitality. Honoring my namesake, as a yoga teacher, it is my intention to hold a safe and welcoming space for students to open up to the subtle benefits of yoga, to find their edge, to honor their bodies, and to connect with all that is beautiful within.
