Her classes bring attention to the poses and movements/actions as a way to access a more refined body and mind awareness. Adela also specialises in injury prevention and injury recovery.

Adela is a former banker and economist but when she experienced Iyengar yoga for the first time she knew that that was her calling – the precision of the Iyengar practice and the way the method makes yoga accessible for everyone captivated her immediately. It also encouraged her to undergo the strict, in-depth training necessary to become an Iyengar Certified Teacher.

She has a 500 hrs (Registered Yoga Teacher) certification by the Yoga Alliance through the Yoga Works Teacher Training program in New York and is proud and grateful to be part of the YogaWorks alumni and teacher lineage. Adela continues to follow an ongoing training according to the standards of the Iyengar Yoga Association which are personally supervised by the Iyengars in Pune, India.

Adela lives in Amsterdam, where she continues to teach yoga with the same passion as she experiences from her own teachers in New York and Amsterdam. When not teaching yoga, Adela loves to escape into nature and to Spain, where she is originally from. She also loves music and plays piano with her two kids singing along.

Slow Flow
We begin by connecting to the top and bottom of the spine using some tapping and massage to enable us to become more aware of the space between the base of the skull and the area of the sacrum, inviting the prana to flow more freely. Connecting with our spine in this light manner allows the different movements of the sequence to be more seamless. This is an accessible class for everybody to start exploring the deeper dimensions of the practices of yoga.Props: Two blocks and a blanket.

Slow Flow
This nourishing practice is designed to improve digestion – not only the digestion of food and nutrients but the processing of emotions and events in our daily lives. By accessing the internal intelligence of our organs at a somatic and energetic level, we tap into the wholeness of the practice of yoga. Props (optional): a blanket and two blocks.

Respiratory system health - tapping, flow and breath
Adela Serrano
Hatha
By tapping certain areas of the body, we bring attention and awareness to those areas – and as we know: where attention goes, energy flows. This is the idea of this class, to bring physical and energetic awareness to the lung area by connecting with the breath inside. We'll begin with some tapping, then practice a short flow to open up the front of the body. We finish with a breath practice and chest opening pose using the bolster. This class is for everyone who wants to nourish the area of the lungs and feel the expansive qualities of the breath.Props: 2 blocks, a bolster and a blanket.
