Elissa is an E-RYT 500 with a passion in living as close to nature as possible, through yoga, nutrition, a close/loving family, gardening, seva, the great outdoors, and Love.

Most importantly, Elissa's intention is to remind every soul that as long as you are consciously breathing you are doing yoga! Yoga is the art AND science of letting go of expectations, judgement and competition for yourself and others. To Elissa, Yoga is self-love, self-worth, and self-awareness. She believes every soul wants to love and be loved. Yoga helps us unfold the layers covering our heart that are stopping us from loving at our full capacity, and who doesn’t want that?

At age 19 Elissa began teaching Level 1 Hatha Yoga to children and has been teaching now for 8 beautiful years. Constantly learning, she earned her 200 hour RYT & 100 hrs CE at CorePowerYoga in 2017, 50 hr Functional Movement Certification through B!RTHFIT, 100 hr Yoga Nidra Certification & Advanced Yoga Nidra Cert from Amrit Yoga Institute and began coaching teacher trainings at CPY. She is now the owner of 200-hour Tribal Yoga School in Milwaukee WI.

In her classes you will receive intuitive hands on assists to enhance your practice and mood, a challenge to go deeper, mentally and emotionally, and loads of encouragement, smiles, hugs, and “WOOs!”
