About Elena

Imagine choosing to stay stuck.

Not because you are incapable, but because the unknown threatens the comfort of your excuses. What you call safety is often just fear wearing a familiar face.

Your new life begins the moment you stop negotiating with yourself.

And you don't have to do it alone.

I'm here to support you through it.

My Story

…when I suffered from depression and anxiety.

I discovered the healing power of yoga in my teens when I suffered from depression and anxiety, as I stumbled upon my first copy of the Bhagavad Gita. That was the beginning of my journey.

…in the company of gurus, sadhus, mystics, and ascetics.

Over the years, I have immersed myself in the company of gurus, sadhus, mystics, and ascetics in Thailand, Bali, Nepal, Bhutan, and India.

I have sat in sacred ceremonies, meditated in ancient temples, lived in Ashrams, fasted, prayed, chanted, read, and studied eastern and esoteric traditions from a variety of lineages.

I am passionate about merging my love for the traditions of Eastern philosophies and Hindu mythology with the Western style and practice of yoga.

Originally from Italy, I moved to the USA in my 20s to begin a career as a flight attendant. After raising four children, I left a comfortable life behind and moved to an Indian Ashram to deepen my own spiritual practice.
