Elissia's yoga journey began at the age of 13 and has evolved into a deeply embodied practice rooted in the healing powers of movement, breath and self-inquiry. She has been teaching yoga for nearly five years, completing her 200hr Vinyasa teacher training before going on to further her studies with a 300hr teacher training in Kundalini Yoga in Rishikesh, alongside extensive training in Yin Yoga. Having taught and managed in yoga studios across London, Elissia has a deep understanding of the student experience, from stepping into a class for the first time to building a sustainable, long-term practice. Elissia is the co-founder of Sundari, a women’s community through which she runs yoga retreats, cacao ceremonies and ecstatic dance events across the UK and internationally. She is also a trained cacao facilitator and an ecstatic dance DJ, with a deep passion for music and for curating immersive, heart-led dance journeys that invite freedom of expression, connection and release. Her teaching is shaped by her own healing journey with yoga, movement, music and ceremony, supporting students to gently work through stress, anxiety and stored tension. Expect classes that are grounding yet energising, intuitive and inclusive, blending heat-building movement with moments of stillness and self-connection. With a calm, warm and encouraging presence, Elissia invites students to explore at their own pace and leave feeling balanced, empowered and more at home in themselves.
