Yoga with Elana

Hello! My name is Elana. I've been studying and practicing yoga, meditation, fitness, eastern philosophy, energy healing, and wellness for decades. I wholeheartedly believe that yoga is the antidote for modern life and a powerful practice for greater health and wellbeing, mobility and strength, and healing and relaxation. I help you connect with your body and breath through movement on the mat that translates to benefits off the mat in all aspects of life. I offer private yoga for all levels beginner to teacher trainee, all ages kids to seniors, and all mobilities from injury recovery to professional athletic training. I work with individuals and groups online anywhere in the world and in-person in Center City Philadelphia and Cape May, New Jersey. ************ ABOUT ME: I studied meditation as a teenager, pursued Eastern Philosophy academically, trained with celebrity fitness icons in NYC, and received my Vinyasa Teacher Certification as well as Restorative Yoga Certification with Yoga Alliance. After completing Yoga Chitta Teacher Certification, I also instruct and mentor teacher trainees. Complementing physical asana, I’m schooled in Tibetan Buddhist, Transcendental, and Mindfulness Meditation techniques, embracing both form and formless approaches and am a certified Tao Tantra Arts Faciliator. With a passion grounded in decades of fitness, nutrition, and yoga practice and study, my creative teaching style roots in the body, focuses on breath and presence, channels deep energy sources, and integrates athletic training for a strength-building, grounding, and releasing practice.
