Ellen’s yoga journey began over 40 years ago while a freshman in college. When a back injury sidelined her aspiring Broadway dance career, she committed to a consistent yoga practice to keep her mind, body, and spirit healthy, while navigating a career in the corporate world. Fed up with the 9-5 grind, she became a certified yoga teacher in 2000 with the mission to share the gifts of this traditional discipline with others.Since then, Ellen has amassed over 1,000 hours of yoga teacher training programs and went on to graduate from Gary Kraftsow's 2-year Krishnamacharya-based yoga therapy certification curriculum, which included clinical studies. Most recently, she graduated from a 2-year Mindfulness Meditation teacher training program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.For 12 years, Ellen owned The Yoga Sanctuary in New York. During this period, she gathered together an amazing community of like-minded individuals. She directed the staff and schedule of over 30 classes per week, as well as offerings of holistic treatments such as massage therapy and acupuncture.
