I am an upstate New Yorker living outside of Boston who transitioned from a career in journalism to yoga to find peace and help others. Elyse’s yoga journey began in 2012, leading to her 240-hour certification in 2015 at Free Spirits Yoga in Greensboro, NC, in the tradition of Dharma Mittra. She has since taught yoga in North Carolina and Massachusetts, crafting classes rooted in kindness and compassion. Elyse is also certified in Reiki, SUP Yoga, and Ganja Yoga, and leads yoga hikes in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Elyse aims to create a supportive and brave environment where people can discover more about themselves, shed daily stress, embrace joy, and build strength in a personalized way. As a four-time marathoner living with Lyme disease, Elyse hopes to inspire others to listen to their bodies and advocate for their health. In her spare time, she enjoys being with her fiancé, Tim, and keeping up with her energetic pup, Korben Dallas.
