Why choose me?

I'm Ellen MacKay, an E-RYT 500 yoga educator, coach, and trained social worker with over 19 years of experience helping people move through life's transitions with greater strength, resilience, and confidence.

​

I specialize in personalized yoga for people in the second half of life, supporting healthy aging, hormone changes, recovery, stress, and nervous system regulation through private sessions, workshops, retreats, and teacher education.

​

​​Since beginning my teaching journey in 2007, I've taught more than 4,500 hours and have worked with everyone from Ironman athletes to individuals living with neurological conditions. My own experience with cancer treatment and recovery strengthened my belief in the body's incredible capacity to heal, adapt, and thrive.

​

Whether we're working together one-on-one, in a workshop, or on retreat, my goal is to help you feel stronger, move with greater ease, and reconnect with the wisdom of your body.
