Elena

Elena was introduced to yoga in Russia about 10 years ago. After arriving in the South Bay in 2001, her teacher training began at Planet Yoga and continued at Yoga Works where she completed the 500 hour professional training program. Elena’s practice of hatha yoga is rooted in the methods of B.K.S Iyengar. The gift of light and connectedness that her teachers have shared, is the most vital aspect of her yoga journey, and the most cherished. In her classes, Elena encourages the potential for healing (physically, mentally, and spiritually) in all of us, as the practice of asanas supports increased mental and emotional peace, conditions so damaged by the aggressive, competitive culture we live in. Elena has taught in local health clubs and local studios as well as her home studio. She is excited to be teaching at Yoga Loft, a place where mutual growth is nurtured.
