Xenia Hennington ~ Kundalini Yoga

Join Misty Odom this Monday as she welcomes Xenia Hennington to the KOOP studios to share about the benefits of practicing Kundalini Yoga. Xenia became a certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor in 2004 so she could help bring the benefits of Kundalini Yoga to people who are looking for ways to improve their quality of life.

Xenia was first introduced to Kundalini Yoga in 1998 when all she was looking for was some form of physical activity for her stiff and inactive body. Unable to formulate an opinion after taking the first class, she took another class, and then another, and another. Soon she discovered benefits beyond any expectations she ever had. Not only did she get the exercise she sought, but she discovered the chronic pain she had for 14 years began to diminish and then disappear altogether. In her life, she found calmness and patience in situations that normally frustrated her, tolerance where she was used to feeling anger, and focus and efficiency in the midst of harried deadlines. Because of Kundalini Yoga, Xenia discovered an ease and grace in Life that she had never experienced before.

With an open heart, Xenia brings a vitality and understanding of everyday situations to her classes, emphasizing the breath and its connection to the Teacher within. 

You can contact Xenia by phone or email :
