Originally from the Washington, DC area, Ellie was first drawn to the fire and intensity of Ashtanga yoga while living in Vermont in 2000. She completed her 200-hour teacher training in the fall of 2005, followed by a 40-hour Ashtanga Teacher Training with David Swenson. While she has been taught and inspired by several well-known yoga teachers, Ellie continues to be awed by what teaches and inspires her on the mat and in her daily life.
Through regular practice, Ellie has not only experienced extraordinary physical benefits including increased strength, flexibility, and overall health, but she has experienced a profound sense of mental and emotional balance and well-being, connectedness with and compassion for the world around her, and internal and external peace. She hopes that through her teaching all people will feel welcomed, comfortably challenged, and open to the countless benefits of yoga. The aim of her teaching is to encourage students to discover the place of perfect peace that resides within each of them, and to realize that it is always within their reach regardless of internal or external circumstance.
