Arlene Bjork has practiced and taught ashtanga vinyasa yoga since 1997. She was inspired to begin her avid practice after she realized during her first yoga class that her back pain from scoliosis had completely disappeared.
After spending time in New York and Denver studying various traditions which she incorporates into the Vinyasa practice, Arlene settled in Richmond, Va with her family. She holds a BA in Creative Writing, and MBA in General Business, and has her Yoga Alliance Registration at the E500 hour level. She frequently studies at the Jivamukti Yoga School in NYC where she is lead by the guidance of Sharon Gannon, David Life, Ruth Lauer-Manenti, and other Jivamukti teachers.
Arlene’s method builds strength, creates heat, cultivates the breath and calms the mind. All levels of practitioners, from the beginner to the advanced, can find pleasure and challenge under Arlene’s creative guidance. Arlene is the Director of the Grace Yoga Centers, as well as Grace Yoga Training Systems headquartered in Richmond.
