About

Arlene Koby is the owner & operator of Lakeside Wellness. She is a mama of three, a Yoga teacher, and a devoted student of Yoga. She has been practicing for over 25 years and teaching for the past 14 years. An E-RYT, Arlene has completed two 200-hour trainings (the first in 2005) and an additional 100-hour advanced teacher training with Elena Brower at Virayoga in NYC in 2013. With a strong desire to learn, she continues to educate herself, recently traveling to India with Raghunath, completing advanced study with Jivamukti founders Sharon Gannon and David Life, and is currently enrolled in the Anusara bridge program through Shree yoga. Arlene is humbled and honored to share what she has learned through her vast studies. Her approach to teaching is rooted in authenticity. Her gift is her capacity to work with practitioners at any level, using specific, educated alignment cues. Her goal is for the student to feel comfortable and safe with the body they are in, whether they are rocking a handstand or a child pose. “Love is the absence of judgement.” Compassion first, love always, judgement never.
