About Alena

I am the heart behind casa figuera—a space where all my passions come together, a casa designed as a sanctuary to pause, become present, and reconnect with yourself.
With a background in textiles, I have always been drawn to color, texture, and the art of creating. Today, I combine this love for textiles with a holistic approach to wellbeing, exploring how creativity, nature, and mindful practices can nourish both body and mind.
With over 600 hours of international training and seven years of teaching experience, I support people in cultivating presence, clarity, curiosity, and aliveness and balance within the body-mind landscape. I am passionate about building resilience and supporting the body’s natural capacity for healing through rest, movement, and mindful exploration.
Drawing inspiration from the vibrant colors and plants of Mallorca, I transform natural elements into silk artworks and guide others to do the same—through monthly workshops, retreats, and private sessions—creating a bridge between creativity, nature, and inner wellbeing.
Having experienced the intensity of fast-paced corporate environments at Zalando and Breuninger, I understand how stress affects focus, motivation, and overall quality of life. At casa figuera, I offer a holistic approach—through yoga, pilates, somatics, meditation, sound, and natural dyeing—to help you reconnect with your inner rhythm, awaken your creativity, and cultivate a balanced, vibrant life.
I offer weekly online yoga classes, as well as personal immersive experiences on Mallorca.
