Elena is an amazing yoga instructor. Very personal and caring, she is excellent at explaining the poses with ease and no pressure if you have prior experience as a yogi. I love how she guides us to stay centered and focused throughout the practice, easily flowing from one pose to another. I have practiced with her for more than two years and never had a bad practice. I truly enjoy being in her presence. - Jackie K.
