Elena.
Hello!
I am Elena and live in Cardiff, Wales. I moved here from South Devon last year to dive into my newly qualified role as a corporate lawyer.
When did my yoga journey begin?
I remember walking into the first yoga class I ever attended hiding as far as I could at the back of the room. I was completely out of my comfort zone not knowing anybody in the room and being more of a team sports person, I never thought my hamstrings would allow me to make it through a one hour class. Unsure and nervous at first, I completely fell in love (thanks to my lovely teacher Alicia - you can find her at Alicia Jade Yoga in Brixham). The rest they say is history!
I am passionate about encouraging you to begin or continue on your own personal journey. I completely understand in these modern days how busy we all are and I am often first to admit I haven’t found the time to simply brush my hair! However finding time to get on my mat has made such a difference to my everyday life, especially whilst trying to juggle work and carving out the time to give me those moments of peace and clarity during a busy week. I can’t wait to share the practice with you and help you with your yoga journey.
My classes
My classes are inclusive and I can’t emphasise enough that it does not matter how “flexible” you are. We all have our own physical limitations but I encourage you to find your own “edge” and listen to your body and ultimately have a bit of fun!
