Kenna Crouch is a professional yogini and contemporary dance artist, forever student and teacher. Her technical background is in classical dance forms like Ballet & Jazz; yet, for the last decade, her education and focus has been on the Modern & Yogic Arts. Upon earning college degrees from UC San Diego in Dance & Sociology in 2008, she immersed herself in Yoga and in 2010, she completed 200-hour teacher training in the Anusara style with Sherry Schreck. She also completed the Street Yoga program, yoga therapy for at-risk populations, in 2011. Since then she has been enthusiastically instructing a diverse range of students of all levels, training with renowned teachers across the world and learning to live Yoga off the mat. Her experience in the last seven years of teaching public classes, instructing at special events, corporate yoga, workshops, retreats as well as a thriving private practice qualify Kenna as a top and sought-after teacher in her field.
Kenna is an international performing artist, choreographer and teacher with The Patricia Rincon Dance Collective, with whom she worked for six consecutive seasons, 2008-2014. Kenna assisted Patricia in Germany, teaching intensive contemporary and jazz dance workshops, from 2010-2014 at Universities in Frankfurt aum Main and Heidelberg. She also toured to perform with the company in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2011 and in Zurich & Olten, Switzerland in 2013. The LA Times mentioned Kenna in their review of PRDC's "The Myth Project: Altar," performed at The Ché Cafe on the UCSD Campus in October of 2013: "The cascade of dances to rhythm-driven fusion, techno and house music showcased two especially gifted artists, the Ailey-style virtuoso Brian Bose and the powerfully balletic Kenna Crouch, while celebrating the space, its history and its site." Kenna made her concert-length choreographic debut with "I Only Know (What I Don't Know)" at PRDC's Salon Dance Series at the Encinitas Library in May of 2014, receiving a standing ovation and fielding questions from the north county San Diego community afterward about her artistic process. Drawing from her years of education, she has been formulating and teaching her own method of Barre Fitness since 2010, maintaining its essence of balanced Ballet technique, breath awareness, cardio and strength training. Her Ballet Sculpt work-out is known through out Southern California as one of the most authentic and challenging barre classes one can find.
The San Diego-based company ToeSox signed Kenna on as an Ambassador in the Fall of 2014, utilizing her skills to represent their wonderful product for conscious movers. She graces the covers of their 2015 Spring & Fall catalogues. In March of this year, Kenna embarked on a journey to India to obtain advanced 500-hr yoga teacher status with Danny Arguetty & Lora Heiner, and she is nearly complete with her studies in Rajanaka Tantra, Vinyasa, Anatomy & Therapeutics through their Sacred Lasya program. Over the summer, Kenna moved with her partner to southern Italy, where she is planning for the next phase of her career in Yoga & Dance, on a more international stage and with a focus on training teachers in her various styles and methods of Yoga & Dance. Kenna loves to move and work with the human body, energy and creativity; her inspiration is nature, art and holistic health. She strives to help others feel free and expressive in their own bodies and minds, and to live life as a dance, graceful and filled with joy.
Though her life does revolve mostly around Yoga & Dance, one may also find Kenna passionately cooking healthy meals in her kitchen, playing in the ocean/sea (she loves to swim and surf), traveling the world and exploring different languages and cultures (she is fluent in Spanish and learning Italian) and engaging in world sociopolitical & environmental issues. Her intention is to leave this beautiful planet and its people better off than we when she entered it, and to inspire others to do the same.
