Elise's Bio

Yoga Instructor

 

Why I choose the Fitness Industry

I officially began teaching Astanga style yoga classes in May of 2009 in Kelowna, British Columbia however I have practiced as far back as 2000.  Fitness, Dance, Yoga and any form of physical exercise and movement has largely been a passion of mine.  I’ve always been involved in some sort of fitness or fitness related activity since a child and I feel it’s important for anyone to have a physical outlet of some sort.  It’s very healthy and helps us to stay connected to who we truly are.  I enjoy keeping like-minded others challenged and engaged in their physical goals.  Others inspire me to take on new challenges and they teach me things about life and myself each and every class

Qualifications

200 hour Yoga Certicfication with Nicki Doane & Eddie Modestini (Maya Yoga) Iyengar & Astanga Yoga), numerous 3-5 day yoga

Accomplishments

Meditation and Physical Yoga Practice 5 times/week, Hiking, cycling, former dancer and group fitness instructor (hi-lo, strength, step)

Speciality Areas

Astanga Yoga (vinyasa flow style, primary series, power yoga, inversions, etc)  Restorative Yoga (uses props to aid in relaxation in order to access the para-sympathetic nervous system)

2012 Goals

Build classes to suit and accommodate all guests' physical capabilities and strength needs.  Give birth to our first baby in July and return to teach at least 2 classes in the Fall of 2010!  Build a restorative clientele/following as I feel many from Global would benefit greatly from such a practice…
