Namaste and Welcome

She was one of the very first E-RYT500s registered with Yoga Alliance, and created  YogaBloom Trainings, offering a range of learning opportunities from 100 hour Deepening Practice to 200RYS and 300RYS certifications. Cora is dedicated to the practice of yoga and wellness for health. She believes strongly in its transformational and healing powers, and has developed a unique approach to yoga for a modern era.

Cora has infectious enthusiasm and a natural, friendly approach; she is especially adept and sensitive to helping students find freedom from injuries and chronic ailments. Cora has been a student of Buddhism since childhood, and is dedicated to seeing and meeting individual needs, in the physical and spiritual underpinnings of yoga.  She continues to practice and study yoga, believing strongly in its transformation and healing powers.

Since 1999, she has written and lectured about yoga at international conferences, hospitals, integrative medicine, and complementary wellness and retreat centers. She has helped develop clinical studies in yoga with the University of California San Francisco, the National Institute of Health and Vanderbilt Center for Integrative Health.  A contributor to Yoga Journal, Yoga international and past keynote speaker for Yoga Alliance, she is a specialist on Asian culture and participates as a consultant and lead teacher in 200RYT and 500RYT programs in the US, Canada and Asia. 

With a background in classical Chinese philosophy, Cora espouses a view of the body as a microcosm of our environment. Her teachings explain seasonal health to the interaction between organs and emotions. Cora loves to explore the deep connections between Eastern and Western ideas and concepts, and research to expand and understand the teachings of yoga. Her wellness program incorporates a multi-dimensional approach to physiological, psychological, and emotional connections.

Cora divides her time between San Francisco CA and East Hampton NY, offering private mentorship, public classes and workshops.

“I want to help you find a path to wellness, and connection with happiness in your life”

- Cora Wen

WHY YOGA?

Find a practice just right for you.

Cora believes that true wellness incorporates a multi-dimensional approach to physiological, psychological, and emotional connections. The benefits of pain relief, stress reduction and biological health and balance is a strong component of yoga as a healing modality. Yoga has been clinically proven as an alternative to drug therapy, rehabilitation and recovery, as well as significant forays into emotional, mental and psychological disorders. Yoga helps us create balance in body, mind and spirit. 

Cora is committed to the practice of yoga and believes fitness and healing are byproducts of yoga; the actual purpose is to awaken our highest potential as human beings. Her classes are an environment to expand, explore and challenge your body, mind and spirit.
