Ely is a great instructor, helping me adjust all the details and focus on breathing. The class was tiring but, one hour or two after, I felt surprisingly relaxed and full of energy!

Ely is an excellent yoga instructor who provides clear instruction. She can trouble shoot efficiently and suggest some compromises to the poses to gradually bring you to your goals! She is very patient and her accomplished technique is very motivating. I highly recommend her as the best instructor I have worked with! Very attentive!

I'm so glad I found Elahyoga. Once you get hooked on Ashtanga yoga, no other forms of yoga will ever be as satisfying. Ely is a great instructor, kind, patient and positive. She provides clear and technically sound instruction. I love the progress I'm making with her. Her immaculate studio, provides a warm and welcoming peaceful ambiance.

I started Yoga with ElahYoga a few months ago and I am totally adicted to it ! Elah has the great ability to create a safe space during the sessions and make you feel confident about your own body & soul and the progress you can make ! I can only recommend it !

It’s uncommon to have an instructor with a bachelors degree in EXERCISE science. In addition her verbal q’s pre empt each next movement clearly and decisively. Ely is also practicing what she is “ preaching “ by eating very well, 0 alcohol, 0 smoke, with being at her target weight. She is a fine example for ALL of us. If you want to increase your health knowledge, social skills , physical skills and actually feel spiritually uplifted book with Elahyoga

A good friend of mine who was also new to yoga recommended that go to a session with Ely. She's a great instructor - technically sound, very personable and patient - a real plus for those who are experienced as well as others like me who have little experience and are a bit out of shape. I'm now a regular on her weekend schedule.

I recently attended a yoga class at a Elahyoga studio where the experience was unfortunately quite misleading. I spoke to the owner over the phone and told her exactly what I’m looking for - slower paced, breath work focused classes. Upon asking if she offers a free class prior to committing to the package, she asked me to join one of her classes that week. She assured me that the class would focus on breath work. This sounded perfect to me, as I was looking for something gentle and meditative.

However, once the class started, it was anything but what was described. The pace was much faster, and while there was breathwork involved, it was intense and felt rushed rather than calming. The movements were vigorous, and it felt more like a cardio workout than the slow, restorative practice I had expected. It was challenging to keep up, and the class left me feeling more anxious than relaxed.

To add to the disappointment, at the end of the class, I was unexpectedly asked to pay, despite being told it would be free. The owner mentioned a “miscommunication,” but it felt like a bait-and-switch tactic. I left feeling frustrated and misled, as the experience was not what was promised.

If you're looking for a slower, more mindful practice, I would suggest looking elsewhere. This studio did not deliver on its promise, and the surprise payment request left a sour taste.

I’m so glad I found Elahyoga! Just after the first few sessions, I feel stronger in mind and body! Ely’s disciplined approach challenges and improves flexibility, strength, and endurance for a whole body workout. Ely even goes out of her way to accommodate my schedule. So grateful to learn and practice here! Thank you, Ely! 🙏🏻

I never knew I would enjoy yoga until I attended Ely’s class. It’s the most relaxing hour of my life as a mom, and I look forward to it every time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to be introduced to the world of yoga and motivated to improve.

Ely is a GREAT yoga instructor. Her Ashtanga style is a traditional style of yoga. I LOVE this practice, since it covers all the bases; this practice helps me feel stronger, more flexible, more balanced, and it improves my overall wellbeing. It is also a great workout: I leave yoga sweating!!

Ely’s nature is accepting, patient and kind. I feel very comfortable in her class. She works with me on my level, while offering light nudges to improve. She’s a great teacher and an incredible yogi. She models more advanced poses during her classes and moves in ways I could only dream. It’s very inspirational and maybe someday we can reach that level with a lot of practice. I am so happy I tried it, and see myself practicing with her long term. It’s a life changer.

Elahe is an amazing instructor with long term experience and very knowledgeable.
I have been dealing with pelvic pain and hip pain for years. Coming to her and giving me some poses for opening my hip and pelvic, was truly life changing.
I highly recommend her for any chronic issues and much more flexibility 😊🙌

I was introduced to Ashtanga by Ely, and I instantly fell in love with this style of Yoga (I had been looking for a practice that was swift and challenging yet mentally calming at the same time). Ely is strong and incredibly fit, and her sweet and sensitive disposition create a practice that is both challenging and Zen at the same time. You will leave her class feeling toned and strong and AMAZING!!!! So grateful to have found her!

I’m brand new at yoga and have always been interested in trying a class but was always too nervous to try. After meeting Ely at Elahyoga I instantly felt at ease talking with her about my fitness goals and I couldn’t wait to get started with her on my yoga journey!
