Our Instructors

Yoga first drew Elysia in with its unique balance of movement and self-reflection—a practice that encouraged her to look inward without judgment while also building physical strength and flexibility. What started as an attraction to the peaceful energy of her instructors and the depth of Eastern philosophies became something much more personal. When she began practicing more regularly in 2013 while living in Southern California, Elysia found herself not only feeling better physically and emotionally, but also becoming more aligned in her lifestyle and relationships.

Over time, Elysia's yoga practice allowed her to cultivate confidence, clarity, and authenticity in all aspects of life. She teaches because she wants to share this same sense of connection and empowerment with others. Her classes focus on fluid energetics and resilience, helping students release limiting narratives and step into greater awareness and self-trust. She integrates movement, breathwork, and mindfulness techniques to break unhelpful patterns, shift mindset, and raise vibrational energy, encouraging students to take intentional steps toward elevating their lives.

Elysia completed 200 hours of Hatha & Vinyasa training with Lotus Seed Yoga in Portland, Oregon, 150 hours of Vinyasa training with Frog Lotus Yoga in Andalusia, Spain, and 100 hours of Kundalini Yoga training with Kia Miller in Rishikesh, India. Beyond the mat, Elysia feels most at home in nature. She is a sun-seeker who loves to spend time with her husband and dogs. She enjoys hiking, paddling, seeing live music, cooking fresh, local food, and creating meaningful connections with friends old and new.
