Elisa believes yoga is a practice of self-transformation. She teaches yoga because she wants to help students experience themselves in their bodies in ways that bring a sense of ease, awareness, and empowerment, on and off the mat. In her classes, Elisa focuses on finding balance between effort and surrender–both on and off the mat. Whether leading a slow flow, an alignment-based practice, or a power vinyasa flow, Elisa’s teaching is energetic, supportive, educational, welcoming, and fun. She especially loves introducing yoga to newcomers. Elisa received her 200-hour training at Down Under School of Yoga, and is currently completing their 300-hour program. Elisa is grateful to continue to practice and study regularly with renowned teachers including Natasha Rizopoulos, Masaaki Okamura, Gregor Singleton, Kate Heffernan, and Brittney Burgess.
