I know what it's like to feel disjointed, chaotic, and uncertain; especially in my own body, in fitness, and in everyday movement.
I also know what it’s like to be determined, curious, and ready to dive deep… which is why I'm encouraging you to shift your view on fitness and yoga.

It's more than wellness, a weekend retreat, or "to-do" item.

Together, we'll create a dialogue between your body and mind that empowers you to feel strong, healthy, and connected to yourself (and the world, if you want). We'll redefine what "yoga is" to meet your unique needs - so you can move in your life instead of through it. That's my promise to you.

Love and snacks,
Elena

Toxic Positivity. "Earning" food. "Deserving" rest. Gremlins not being THE Christmas movie. High heels for anything. Being less than authentic.

Holding space so you can feel, think, and understand through both reflection and physical experience.

With a DOUBLE BS IN BIO AND PSYCH, THERE'S A FOCUS ON BIOMECHANICS AND ANATOMY

We're the right fit whether you're a student, teacher, or business looking to grow through yoga - because mindful movement is for everyone.
