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.
I’d love to see you in one of my Harrogate classes. Keep scrolling to find out more!
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, chances are someone else is thinking it too!
It also means I can design classes for you specifically! Whether it’s something you want to work on, or conditions you need to navigate, I’ll not only learn and remember your name but I’ll get to know what you like and need!
Small classes also mean more community vibes. Some of us often go for coffees after class and you’d be welcome to join!
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.
My yoga classes are Asana focused. Meaning we work mostly on the physical practice of yoga. No chanting, no meditation, no sound bowls. If you want all the physical benefits of yoga without the spiritual side, then you are in the right place. Don’t worry though, you’ll still feel calm afterward!
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.
All classes come with plenty of options so whether you are brand new or have been going to classes forever, there will be an option for you to try.
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.
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.
If this all sounds like the right recipe for classes you’d enjoy then go ahead and book your first class for free!
