Yoga by Elise

“Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu”
May all beings everywhere be happy and free.

“I love practicing with Elise! She pushes me to step outside of my comfort zone and I’ve surprised myself with things I’ve done that I wouldn’t have tried without her gentle encouragement!  She is a kind and very patient yoga instructor.  My only complaint is that I don’t get to practice with her as often as I’d like!”

–Rita Bergen

“Elise classes are energizing and fun, and I consider them an essential part of my week. They can be challenging or easy depending on how I feel. She lets you know how far to go in a pose if you have injuries/weaknesses, which is really helpful. She pays individual attention to people in the class and will re-position you to help you get that little extra from a pose. She is reliable and always shows up with a smile! Elise is an outstanding teacher and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

–Bob Bates, Jr.

“Love this class! This class helps me relax and recenter while also working muscles I didn’t know I had. Elise is an excellent teacher, very patient and makes even the hard parts fun!”

“Yoga with Elise has been so beneficial to my physical and mental health! As a preschool teacher, I’m constantly bending down, sitting in small furniture, and being pulled in a million different directions. Elise’s class is an opportunity for me to focus on myself and turn everything off, even if it’s only for an hour. Elise is calm, patient and an absolute joy to have as an instructor! I highly recommend her class.”

–Emanuela Possible

“I cannot say enough about Elise. Not only is she knowledgeable and easy to follow; she is sweet and an absolute joy to be around. Whatever your level, Elise will take your mind and body on a smooth and peaceful journey that is guaranteed to enhance your life. At 62, thanks in part to yoga and classes with Elise, I’m discovering my youthful body all over again.”

– Scott

“I was never one to think I could ever get into yoga as I am not really athletic or flexible. Rest assured, after one class with Elise I was hooked. Not only do I feel relaxed and regenerated after class, I can tell my body is changing as well – both on the inside and out. I love the journey she takes us on during class and would recommend to both beginners and advanced students alike.”

– Lauren

It’s easy to perceive how much thought and care that goes into each flow Elise curates. I always appreciate that I not only learn how to do each pose but also why I am doing it. She artfully blends dynamic movement, intentional breathing, and contemplative philosophy, all in one class. I look forward to learning from and with her as she embarks on this venture.”
