Renee Klein
Certified Yoga Therapist
Certified Yoga Instructor
After years of ballet, fitness and other forms of movement, Renee discovered the life-changing practice of yoga.
​
She invites you to explore this magnificent practice where bodies, minds, hearts and spirits can be enriched and healed. She teaches in a manner accessible to all—the yoga newcomer and the advanced student.
​
Renee's initial training was in the therapeutic Viniyoga lineage with Anne Basco. Additional studies have included numerous curriculums with notable yogis such as Gary Kraftsow, Angela Farmer, Richard Miller, and Mikunda Stiles.
​
Subsequently she earned her Yoga Therapist credentials (E-RYT 500) through Ananda Seva Mission. She also earned the prestigious yoga credentials of C-IAYT, certified with the International Association of Yoga Therapists, and is a Certified Senior Fitness Instructor through the American Sports & Fitness Association.
​
She is indebted to all these yogis and organizations, but mostly she is indebted to her students, from whom she continues to learn and grow.
​
Previously, Renee worked in executive leadership positions in major businesses and was CEO of two nonprofit organizations.
