About me

Alyona Tenitski

Certified Functional Breath Coach & Yoga Instructor 

IMG_0999_edited.jpg

Based in Lisbon, Portugal, I’m originally from Estonia, where my early years revolved around ballet and rhythmic gymnastics, swimming, and volleyball. Movement was always central to my life, shaping my understanding of discipline and well-being. 

After graduating high school, I moved to London in pursuit of a Law degree. However, by the fortuitous turn of events, I spent the next 15 years in the British capital building a successful career in the wellness industry, distancing myself from the stresses of a career in Law.​​​​​​​​​​​

My yoga journey began in 2012 with classes that reignited my love for fitness and introduced me to the transformative power of Pranayama and Functional breath. What started as a personal practice soon became a passion, leading me to complete my Yoga Teacher Training and later specialise in Functional Breath Work.  

 

Since then, I’ve helped clients improve their health through better breathing practices—supporting athletes to achieve peak performance, easing asthma symptoms, and guiding individuals toward better sleep and energy.  

 

When it comes to Yoga, my approach blends my experience as a gymnast with a focus on stability, flexibility, and strength—the essential elements for reducing injury and maintaining independence as we age.  

 

Breathwork isn’t a magic pill that will provide instant gratification, but with practice and guidance, it’s a powerful and proven tool for transformation. I’m here to help you breathe better, feel stronger, and live with more energy and clarity.
