Lena’s Biography

Lena Tancredi was born in Brazil in 1969 and has called Ibiza home since 1990. She is an artist and a passionate yoga teacher.

Lena’s yoga journey began after a sudden paralysis, the cause of which was unknown. It primarily affected the left side of her body and her face. Along with acupuncture and other recovery techniques, her doctor recommended yoga. Through this practice, Lena regained full movement in her face and body. Along the way, she discovered a deep passion for the philosophy of yoga, which eventually led her to become a teacher herself. Yoga has transformed her life, not only by helping her heal physically but also by reshaping her habits and mindset. Her goal as a teacher is to share the life-changing benefits of yoga, which have brought her joy, grace, strength, inner peace, beauty, and a profound sense of empowerment.

In 2011, Lena founded Sunset Mountain Ibiza Yoga Retreat and dedicated herself to teaching yoga retreats, hosting more than 23 weekly retreats every year.

During the winter months, Lena travels worldwide, sharing workshops and offering retreats in exotic locations such as Costa Rica, Mexico and more recently, the Maldives.
