Yellow is the color of happiness. Yellow is the color of the sun that nurtures all living beings with its warmth. Sunlight lifts our mood and offers us a fresh outlook. With that being said, I’m Elli and I love yellow! I was born and raised in Chicago and currently live in Athens, Greece where the sun barely stops shining and the city’s energy is palpable.
I started (tried) yoga in 1999 and it really stuck in 2005 when I started practicing Hatha yoga. In 2010 Vinyasa Yoga entered my life and taught me what a moving meditation feels like. And it feels GOOD let me tell you. In 2015 I received my 200 hr training and the rest is history! Well, not really but you know what I mean. 🙂
I have a BA in English Literature, a BFA in Fashion Design, and tons of great life experience. I love cooking, music, old films, daydreaming, writing short stories, laughing, smiling, secretly singing, and my nephew. I teach yoga to private clients, groups, companies, and in a couple of studios in Athens. Check out the schedule!
Yoga to me is home. It’s the place where you feel the coziest, the safest, and the most authentic you can possibly be. Within those safety walls, you can let your guard down and be open to exploring all your shadows and light. Yoga is a path to discovering patience, gratitude, compassion, kindness, equanimity, peace, and love all in one practice. It’s not always easy, but yoga is always there by your side and it never gives up on you. It teaches you to not give up on yourself. Yoga to me is home.
