Elise (she/her/hers) began her yoga practice as an anxious high school student looking to cross-train for sports and cope with big emotions. Yoga met and exceeded these goals. Elise continues to return to her mat to receive guidance, acceptance, compassion, and love.

Off the mat, Elise is a behavior analyst dedicated to providing support and advocacy to children with developmental disabilities and their caregivers. She combines her passions for behavior analysis and yoga to create a unique format of instruction for her students. Her teaching incorporates systematic building of poses, playfulness, goal-setting, and reinforcement. Elise strives to offer a supportive, fun, and inclusive environment for yogis of all colors, sizes, ages, and abilities.
