Yoga & Pilates with Elyse

Hi, I’m Elyse and I’m so glad you’re here!

I have been teaching yoga since 2020 and Pilates since 2022. Since then, I have taught so many different people and I have learnt so as much if not more from them.

My experience in teaching people of varying ages and abilities, mixed with my love of anatomy has given me a unique set of skills. I am able to not only plan classes around injuries and limitations, but I can adapt on the fly to give you plenty of options and make it feel like you’re not even missing out on the full class..

My Approach

Small classes

Classes are limited to 8 participants. Small classes means you can always see what is going on and I can adapt to what I am seeing from you and you can ask questions. It’s an informal space and I want you to get what you came for. If you have a question, maybe someone else is wondering the same thing!

Short Savasana

If relaxing at the end of a yoga class is your least favourite part, then you’re in the right place. We don’t skip it, but we keep it brief. Savasana is said to be the most challenging yoga pose and it takes practice to be comfortable here, especially if you have a busy brain. So we spend time actively winding down before a short Savasana at the end. This also means you leave class feeling rested and calm rather than like you’ve been woken from a nap so you feel ready to go about your day.

Style

I am certified in Hatha yoga, and I like to get creative with my flows. If you have something you’d like to work on, I’d love to create a fun sequence to do just that! Even if we have a focus in class, I always make sure we get a full body stretch so you can leave feeling great every time.

I teach mostly classical Pilates with some contemporary elements. Classes have a strong focus on form and alignment whilst bringing in some alternative movements for targeting specific areas for things like posture which I believe helps us get even better results. This also means I can adapt classes easier as I can draw on a range of options of exercises.

No yoga voice, no Pilates voice.

I teach how I talk naturally, no annoying put-on voice or strange rhythm, just clear instructions and encouragement.
