“Elsa is by far the most innovative and interesting yoga instructor I have ever had the pleasure of practicing with. Her classes are always new and exciting, they are challenging, and they are always different. She brings in elements of her life, of what she’s passionate about, and physical strength. After one of Elsa’s classes I always feel as though I’ve left it all on the mat. I’ve laughed in her classes, I’ve cried, and I’ve learned how to breathe and be present in my body and my thoughts.”- Kristin R.
“Elsa’s teaching approach has a rare magic: she blends her contagious passion, curiosity, and love of movement with her breadth of knowledge of functional body mechanics. The result? Inspiring practices that challenge the body, build strength, and create flexibility in a safe and engaging environment, and remind us to have fun and find joy in our yoga practice. More than that…Elsa encourages her students to cultivate intention, build awareness, and to care for themselves so they can care for others.”- Melissa O.(Yoga Teacher)
“There’s so much to say about Elsa and not a single thing is short of amazing! This girl has it all, her warmth, generosity and patience are infectious and evident from the minute you enter her studio. It’s hard not to fall into her trance as she guides you into a complicated posture you never thought you could do – but she somehow convinces you with a confidence you never knew you had! The energy in her teaching alone is enough to keep me wishing the class would never end!” – Katelyn N. (Ironman, PHD Kin)
“Elsa’s classes allowed me to finally let go of my anxieties about whether I looked good in a pose or was sweating enough and enjoy the benefits yoga itself. I remember specifically the class when Elsa came over to me while I was struggling to do chatarunga with out putting my knees down. She told me that there is nothing wrong with modifying a pose, and that it actually shows strength to do the pose comfortably rather than struggle. I love going to her workshops and smaller classes too! She always finds a way to teach us something technically difficult and fun but in a progression so that we can fully stretch and prepare our bodies with the basics first before trying a tricky arm balance pose or pincha. Now that I am a practising yoga teacher, I aspire to be as warm, playful and encouraging as she is to her students.”- Mandy F.
“What I love most about taking one of Elsa’s classes is how thoughtful they are, each class is a story and every pose plays a part. Elsa has the ability to draw inspiration from everywhere around her and incorporate it into her classes, making them challenging, inspiring, beautiful, playful and most importantly, FUN!”- Cait M.(UWO Lacross)
“Elsa really takes the time to understand her student’s needs and goals, and this is reflected in her attention to detail and proper alignment. She lives and breathes what she teaches, and her kindness and energy fills the room” –Cindy G.(Derby)
“Elsa is full of positive vibes, and her energy radiates through her classes. Her passion for yoga, great support for yogis and open heart to every human being have inspired me greatly for the time I’ve known her. It has been such a joyful experience to be her student for developing my mind and body”. –Eunmi C.
“Elsa’s teaching style has left me with a great understanding of what is actually going on in my body structurally. Her understanding of anatomy and her ability to communicate in a way that I understand through her brief yet thorough cueing is remarkable. The thing I appreciate most about a yoga teacher is their ability to be real with people.Elsa certainly has these qualities. Genuine, knowledgeable. and very charismatic. I feel privileded to learn from her.”- Noelle C.
