Elissa

Teaching has always been in Elissa's heart. She was a school teacher by profession for nine years and completed her first yoga teacher training in 2006. With a sense of adventure, she seized the opportunity to connect her love of travel and culture and taught in schools in England, The Middle East, and most recently China. In addition to classroom teaching, she also brought yoga to her students and the communities in which she lived. Self practice and self study are an integral part of her life. Currently, Elissa is continuing her yogic studies with Sarah Powers at the Insight Yoga Institute in San Francisco. Insight Yoga weaves the ancient healing traditions of Yoga, Buddhism, and Spiritual Psychology. Elissa is an intuitive, challenging, and fun loving teacher who makes yogic practices relevant to her students. She aspires to teach her students to live a more meaningful and easeful life.
