An educator by nature and by
training, Ellen has a BS in Education and a MS in Educational
Psychology. She is an E-RYT 500 and has been practicing
yoga for more than 20 years and teaching classes for 8
years. Ellen describes her style
as eclectic, drawing from various traditions and
methodologies, creating opportunities for students to study the
mind-body connection on a personal and profound level. Ellen
teaches from a place of authenticity, respect and compassion and
loves to help her students embrace their own yogic
path.
“My classes always
include pranayama (breath work), asana (poses) relaxation and
meditation. And, since my personal yoga journey has brought me so
much joy, and taught me the very important lesson of not taking
myself too seriously, there’s often laughter, and sometimes
downright silliness in my classes; but just as often there are
moments of deep silence, contemplation and
connection.”
“One of my favorite quotes
from Lao Tzu is “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might
be.” Yoga is such a wonderful vehicle for that journey. I encourage
my students to listen to their bodies, hearts and minds and ask
them to question, explore and move beyond their comfort zone. My
role is to support their practice in whatever way I can and I am
truly honored and privileged to share their journeys. I honestly
can’t imagine doing anything else.”
Ellen has additional training in Children’s Yoga, Yin Yoga,
Restorative Yoga, Yoga for Cancer Recovery, and is a Master
Reiki Practitioner and teacher. She is enthusiastic about expanding
her calling to help others through the gift of yoga and energy
healing.
