The groundwork for all happiness is good physical, mental, and emotional health.
Hello! I'm Elena, and I am here to help people with busy schedules get fit and stay fit.
With over 20 years of practicing yoga, I've seen the transformative power of holistic health. I became certified and began teaching in 2008, eventually adding certificates in Pilates and barre, and incorporating my certifications in energy work and plant-based nutrition.
My mission? To debunk the myth that you need a gym or to be a certain age to get real exercise. Exercise can happen anywhere—at home, while traveling, or even on a walk in the park. No matter at 25 or 85 - it’s never too late to learn to move intentionally, so that we can age with strength and mobility.
So, join me on this journey! Let’s move, laugh, and maybe even groan a little together as we discover the joys of staying active. Remember, it's never too late to start, and every move you make brings you closer to a healthier, happier you. Let's make aging with strength and mobility fun!
I'm here to support and guide your well-being journey, regardless of the age or starting point.

“I have been loving these zoom classes. Not only do they help me feel I am getting more fit and stronger, but also more connected to others as my social interactions have diminished during this pandemic. The classes are well organized and Elena's experience as an instructor shows. Thank you for providing the opportunity. I have during this confinement time accessed Youtube fitness videos but find the personal connection makes a huge difference.” - Diane D. Oldwick, NJ
“Elena is a born teacher and has wonderful knowledge of how we can care for our bodies. I really love working with her. The exercises are thoughtfully presented, and I'm so happy that her directions are always thorough and clear. This has been an opportunity to learn and take care of my body. After a month of the program, I can feel that my body is adapting and developing vitally important fluidity. I can feel it!” - Leilani B., Naples, FL
“Elena's wonderful classes combine the use of light weights, stretches, isometrics and yoga. They have impacted my life in a number of positive ways.

“Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos — the trees, the clouds, everything.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
