Irene Encarnacion is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with an approved and active Registered Yoga School (RYS).
Irene began practicing yoga in 2006. After leaving an accounting career that required long hours of sitting and hunching at a desk and computer, she was intrigued by yoga’s rehabilitating effects on her aching low back and stress level. Irene’s yoga teaching influences are YogaWorks’ Kori Flechtner Strobl, M.A., Miramar College’s Jessica Matthews, M.S., and MiraCosta College’s Stacy McCarthy, B.S. Irene enjoys introducing yoga to new students and inspiring them in a safe and thoughtful manner.
