ABOUT SELENA
THE CLARITY DECK
contact
yoga
For much of my life, I chased identity.
I chased momentum, purpose, transformation — believing that if I just did more, I would finally arrive. More yoga, more growth, more success, more moving, more fixing, more becoming.
I discovered that
Selena
MEET
it wasn't until I stepped away from that life and moved abroad, fell in love with an even more unstable partner, unraveled, burned out, bankrupt, and moved back to the Pacific Northwest were I grew up and began again --
that i learned what i had been searching for wasn't "out there."
My journey started in New York City, where I taught yoga in beautiful studios and led retreats around the world. This had been a dream - I was living in New York! I was working for myself doing something I loved! But I never felt like I was "there" yet.
I launched more offerings, I chased bigger opportunities, compared myself to people who were seemingly more successful than me. I was constantly reaching for the next version of myself and often looking for the fastest way there.
I wanted to UPLEVEL, 10X. Everything around me told me to just heal my limiting beliefs, to do more work - and then I would have the things I dreamed of. (I have so many thoughts about toxic spirituality and life coaching culture, but that's a story for another day).
In 2022, some events and experiences happened in my personal life that should have highlighted my instability -
Now, my work is about coming home —
to presence, to peace, to the truth that we don’t have to chase transformation to feel alive.
... and yet I kept going, kept spinning. It was this continual path of "becoming" and "change."
clarity,
peace,
a radical sense of Self
EXIST IN QUIET AND STILLNESS.
Clarity, peace and belonging exist in long walks, slow mornings, and deep breaths.
They live in tending to the basics - simple exercise, good food and honest relationships.
and most importantly - they exist in the courage to stop running and just be.
and
a practice of listening inward, finding your own answers, and remembering that stillness is a form of strength.
The Clarity Deck was born from that place...

"I began practicing with Selena in January 2022, her sessions were an incredible reintroduction to yoga after having not practiced in many years. Weekly sessions built a cadence where we were able to address my mobility issues (neck, back) and make me feel confident to join group classes and practice at home. Practicing with Selena built a deep love for the practice and the space that it creates in your body and mind. Selena is grounded and accountable, and a true joy to work with. She excels at planning for your unique body, lifestyle, and circumstances to address your needs in a meaningful and impactful way. I would highly recommend Selena to anyone looking to create an intentional practice and way of life."

"It’s crazy how intuitive this deck feels! I’ll draw a card, and it’s exactly what I needed for the day. The prompts are simple but deep, and you can tell they come from years of wisdom and experience. Every time I use the deck, I end up uncovering something I didn’t realize I was holding. It feels like a little nudge back to myself."

“Working with Selena was a wonderful experience! She helped me build a strong foundation that has helped me better approach and overcome the obstacles that come up in life. I feel more grounded and present in almost all of life's situations. I see a huge difference in myself and how I approach situations after working with Selena.”

“Coaching with Selena was like a breath of fresh air. It was way more fun than I thought it would be, and I continue to see evidence of our work together ever over a year after our program ended. Her work was so powerful, I've returned to work with her 3 more times, trusting her to help me navigate times of transition in my personal and professional life. I would recommend her to anybody looking for a deeper sense of inner alignment and meaning."

"I started working with Selena during a very transitionary time in my life. I was at total burnout. Everything looked successful on paper but I was riddled with anxiety on the inside. I was reluctant to reach out because I didn't think I "needed" coaching, but in the end it was exactly what I needed. She was able to help me manage my anxiety with tools that I can continue to go back to. The structured sessions were a weekly practice for me to create time and space for myself and not feel guilty about it.
Selena's presence, questions, and ability to meet me exactly where I was helped me find my way back to myself."

"I have never really been able to believe in myself before, but after my time with Selena, I can finally say I see my potential. I feel so much more confident in who I am and what I have to offer in my personal life and business and I don't let people walk all over for anymore. I feel healthier in my mind and body, and Selena seemed truly invested in my progress. She felt so honest and real, and because of that I felt safe to explore my own perceptions of myself.
I feel truly changed after working with Selena."

“Selena's coaching helped me move through a huge life and career transition with so much clarity. She helped me navigate the uncertainty of unemployment and a career change not just with a plan... but with a deep sense of presence. Through our time together, I started journaling every morning using writing prompts she provided after our sessions. This was huge in helping. me sort through my thoughts and priorities. It helped me stay on track for the job search and not get too lost in "searching" but allowing this to be a time of exploration and personal growth. She gave me tools that I continue to go back to even years after working with her. That made all the difference.”

“We had the pleasure of taking yoga with Selena in New York before the pandemic, so were super excited to see her offer one-to-one virtual yoga sessions. Her style is a beautiful blend of mindfulness and movement. In an hour's time, you'll feel noticeably refreshed and recharged, and I love that practice is tailored just for you. Yes, there a million ways to stream yoga classes out there, but choosing to do a virtual private session helped me stay committed to doing the practice and reminded me that there is no substitute for the two-way energy of working with a teacher.”
