Private Yoga
Private Yoga Instruction with Elyse
While yoga classes are an effective way of learning and practicing, there may come a time when a student’s needs can best be served in a one-on-one relationship with a teacher.
In a private yoga session, I devote my undivided attention to your yoga practice, tailoring the session to your individual needs. Private yoga classes can take you further in your practice than a group class can.
There are many reasons for deciding on a private yoga session, including:
- Rehabilitation of injuries or working deeply on a certain troublesome area of the body
- Helping you develop a customized daily practice
- Personal attention is given to help modify postures and develop alternatives to accommodate your physical ability
- Assisting you in the precise alignment of each asana
Remain at home or come to my studio for a private class. Small group sessions are also available so that you can split the cost with 1–2 other people.

Divya Hatha Yoga
Divya yoga is a style of yoga that blends traditional Hatha yoga practice with a contemporary style of movement called Hellerwork. Divya yoga helps yogis release tension in what is referred to as body-mind therapy; and by releasing tension, it promotes emotional and physical health. Classical asanas are the foundation of yoga posture flows that are matched to the 11 parts of the trademarked Hellerwork series, which connects awareness with movement and body alignment.
Divya yoga focuses on four aspects:
- Surface layers of muscle and connective tissues
- Deeper muscle and connective tissues that are often tight and are responsible for fine motor movements
- Balance of masculine and feminine energy
- Integration of all aspects
