I was blessed in 2010 when I entered into a teacher training program that Ellen was my mentor. Her guidance and compassion helped me on what became a journey of self discovery. Her encouragement kept me going and with her help I was truly able to deepen my own practice. She is an amazing teacher both on and off the mat.

I had major back surgery and even though my doctor said I could go back to yoga I was fearful of hurting myself. So I set up some private sessions with Ellen to learn how to adapt and modify poses to my back issues. It was not only helpful but gave me the self-confidence I needed to return to my practice. Ellen is a patient and knowledgeable teacher who I would recommend to anyone.

Ellen is an excellent teacher! With explicit instruction, a wealth of knowledge and patient guidance, Ellen has taught me more about yoga and myself than I ever dreamed possible. Her program was so well constructed, thoughtfully planned and included ample time for practice, reflection, questions and of course so much fun! With the help of Ellen, I am now using my knowledge and certification to spread my love for yoga to others. Not only is Ellen an excellent teacher to guide you through teacher training, but she continues to be a resource even now when I have questions. She will be my forever teacher!

Seldom am I happy to wake up early on the weekends, but during my training days, I couldn't wait to get the day started. Those were very fun and exciting days for me, days where I had the opportunity to go deeper into my Yoga practice; a time to learn more about the art I loved so much. Sometimes it was tough, sometimes I had to see and learn things about myself that I would have preferred to ignore.
Ellen's quiet wisdom was only eclipsed by her patience and caring. Whenever self-doubt would creep into my mind, Ellen was there to reassure me and to help me to the next step. Intuitively she knew just when to walk over and give me that smile that told me "Everything will be fine, just keep trying". It was an intuition honed by years of teaching people just like you and me.
If you have ever thought about going deeper into your Yoga practice, Ellen will be there to help you, to guide you and to encourage you on your way. I know this to be true, because she was there for me.

I was privileged to take yoga teacher training (200 hours) with Ellen as a lead trainer in 2015. I consider Ellen to be my yoga mentor. She cultivated a great interest within me to deepen my own practice. Her creative and thoughtful style of teaching, expansive knowledge, and relatability with her students made a lasting impression on me. As my personal yoga practice grew, I became interested in teaching. Ellen encouraged me and helped give me the confidence to move forward with the RYT-200 program. I’m so glad I did! I graduated from the program with a much deeper understanding of yoga philosophy and anatomy and felt well prepared to begin my yoga teaching journey! Four years later I am still growing and learning, and continue to look to Ellen for inspiration and guidance. I highly recommend her and her program for Yoga Teacher Training.

When I finished my training I met Ellen and she has helped me become a more confident teacher! I continue to meet with her for continuing education, we get to meet and talk about the ups and downs of being a successful yoga teacher and she is always available when I have questions . I have learned so much from Ellen and will continue to do so, because yoga is journey not a destination. Thank you Ellen for all your patience, encouragement, and love! Your dedication to your students shines out and you can tell that your passion is what drives you to give back and teach the way you do!!

Ellen's training is a nice blend of nurturing and firm discipline. My 200 hour RYT training class was comprised of a very diverse group of ages, abilities and attitudes... and she charmed and encouraged us each to become qualified yoga teachers while maintaining our unique voice and style.
I especially appreciate that Ellen remains my "go to guru" with specific questions about a particular student or my yoga business. She's always there for me. Ellen has become a trusted friend who is a profoundly joyful and competent leader.
