Restorative Alignment
Yoga with Elisa
My classes and workshops are designed to take you on a journey to explore your posture; what influences it and how to adjust and better it. What has influenced my teaching is my background in healing therapy, dance, pilates and personal injuries.
My Yoga Classes
We work on uncovering our relationship to gravity and the energy of the Universe. By stretching to align the body and by activating certain parts to support your joints, whilst breathing harmoniously, you increase your body awareness.
​
The idea is to find more space within the physical body, so that we can flow through life experiences more comfortably.
Mine is not a typical yoga class. We do do traditional yoga asanas, but we also experiment with different positions and movements.
-
Learn how to move in a way that supports your joints and avoids injury
-
Develop more body awareness
-
Return to the basics, analysing/studying the movement in each part of your body, breathing through each position.
The classes often use a variety of props including blocks, belts, rolled up towels, a variety of back arches, the backmitra, balls (some bone shaped) and more.
​
To realign the posture, we learn how to stretch actively and passively, creating a harmoniously proportional balance to the length of our muscles. This helps to create smooth biomechanics, strengthening muscles correctly to form a balanced muscle mass. Accordingly, this instils greater stability in the physical body.
​
Once the physical body is more stable, it means there is more space for energy to circulate within and to connect to the energy without. When the physical and energy bodies are harmonised, the mind can then calm.
My classes are designed for people with injuries or pain, or those who would like to improve their posture and deepen their body awareness.
Suitable for everyone. Any age.
“Elisa's yoga alignment workshops were quietly revolutionary, as gradually space was reclaimed without feeling painfully over stretched."
