Lena Madsen

Lena Madsen, LMT, started teaching yoga in New York City in 1996, while teaching Swedish massage, shiatsu, and Chinese medicine at the Swedish Institute. Her practice is influenced by B. K. S. Iyengar, Rodney Yee, Krishna Das, and Richard Freeman. Lena was an assistant teacher for Rodney Yee for several years. She teaches weekly classes at her studio, Body Sense and Soul, in Nyack, New York, serves as a guest faculty member at yoga teacher trainings, and offers workshops throughout the East Coast.
