Introduction: Purpose driven yoga sharier and a holistic (Ayurvedic) nutrition specialist striving to help people optimize their lives for happiness. Spent some quality time in India training and learning from truly talented yoga and meditation masters and am so grateful now can share this knowledge and practice with anyone and everyone who is interesting to learn traditional yoga that will help you balance your mind, body and spirit. Been so fortunate to have opportunities to work with people from different backgrounds such as kids camps, senior homes, American cancer society , military personnel and their spouses, international summer camps, and many others (back pain patients, post surgery patients , mental health awareness org. etc). I truly believe that yoga can benefit and bring awareness to everyone and help us all develop a lifestyle that leads to a healthier, happier and more balanced life, help us live our best, authentic life and reach our full potential on personal as well as professional level and more.

Elena provided an exceptional yoga experience that exceeded my expectations. Her professionalism was evident from the moment she arrived to our location. She created a calming and welcoming atmosphere, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the practice. Elena's expertise shone through in her clear instructions, thoughtful adjustments, and personalized guidance tailored to my team's level. Her deep understanding of yoga philosophy and anatomy enriched the session, leaving us feeling both physically rejuvenated and spiritually uplifted. I highly recommend Elena to anyone seeking a transformative and fulfilling yoga journey.

Elena is absolutely AMAZING. I was looking for a yoga instructor last minute for an Army event. Elena responded so quickly, and also was so flexible in her availability. She was so pleasant to work with that I booked her for another session. Elena has a heart of gold and the passion she has as an instructor is so admirable. She is my go to yoga instructor for any events I plan on having in the future.! If you are thinking if she is worth booking or not, I promise she is!!

I've been working with Elena since 2017 from someone who doesn't know yoga to someone who is now more flexible, Elena is very patient and understanding. She knows just how to push you in ways that you're comfortable with so you don't injure yourself, I couldn't believe some of the poses I could do now and how long I could hold each of the positions over the years. She's also very consistent so that no matter where she is physically, you could always connect with her via Zoom for your yoga classes if that's what you prefer. I absolutely will recommend her to any yogi at any level. Thank you Elena!

I started practicing yoga with Elena two years ago with exceptional results. By the time I began with the classes, I had mayor physical limitations primarily due to suffering from Lupus and RA for the past 10 years. Elena listened and kindly understood my medical conditions. She created and developed an individualized plan to help me overcome the limitations I had and achieve my health goals. She helped me understand the principles of the yoga practice and breathing techniques with patience, love and compassion. She is always guiding me towards improvement while at the same time telling me to understand and listen to my body. She is deeply involved in her own personal development as well as with me as her student. Her vast knowledge in aryuvedic nutrition adds a holistic approach to her lessons, which has helped me improve tremendously my symptoms and health conditions. She shows authenticity in her personality, energy and a true passion for her teachings. Always wanting to educate, empower and inspire others with her positive attitude. I am extremely grateful and sincerely appreciate her guidance, teachings and commitment to my progress as a yoga practitioner during the last two years. Today, I feel better and I can say I have a better quality of life because of her. She has become an essential part of my healing path. She has earned my strongest recommendation to anyone interested in an amazing yoga instructor or an aryuvedic nutritional consultant. Thanks for becoming an inspiration and a role model to my weekly yoga practice. Thanks for being my beautiful warrior-like yoga teacher.
