Elaine first came to yoga in the mid-1970s; Iyengar training is her foundation. Strongly influenced by the Astanga practice and her ongoing studies of Body-Mind Centering®, she uses experiential anatomy to encourage students to move from within.
Elaine emphasizes breath, humor, alignment and mindfulness. She helps people create a personal practice that works for them as well as the commitment to practice.
Elaine teaches eight regular weekly yoga classes from beginner to advanced, and offers private individual lessions. Elaine also runs Swallowtail Yoga Teacher Training, a 200-hour school registered with Yoga Alliance.
