Ellen views yoga and meditation as a path to health and balance in the body, mind and spirit. Her teaching utilizes props, precise cueing, hands on adjustments, somatic exercises and an invitation to feel. Her intention is to bring students more fully into their practice and create an internal environment ripe for sustainable transformation. 

Ellen serves as director for her home studio, the Yoga Sangha. Her offerings to the Madison community (and beyond), include weekly classes, workshops, immersions, one-on-one sessions and yoga teacher training. She serves as satellite faculty for the Prairie Yoga's 200 hour certification program.

 She received her 200 hour certification from Prairie Yoga, her 300 hour certification from Theresa Murphy, and is currently registered at the E-500 level. In addition to these certifications she regularly studies under Gabriel Halpern and Tias Little. In 2017 Ellen is beginning a 1000 hour certification with the Yoga North International Soma Yoga Institute.
