Elissia lives and works in Barking and has just started teaching at the Boathouse Studios in in Abbey road . We are thrilled to offer her yoga sessions as part of the Barking Folk Festival `and Platinum Jubilee celebrations in Barking and Dagenham this year. Part of the Summer of Festivals.

Elissia says of her practice:

"I see myself as a student of yoga and a tool for others to teach themselves. We only truly learn through our own practice and experiences, so I offer my students plenty of room for exploration and to intuitively listen to their bodies. As much as I love a fiery, challenging heat-building practice, I also love the soothing, healing and meditative qualities of a Yin practice. Therefore you can expect to feel well-balanced after leaving my class. Compassion and belief are two key features of my approach to teaching. I want my students to feel as if they’re completely supported, encouraged and believed in while creating a safe, warm, open and creative space for them to lose and find themselves in.  

My favourite quote as a yogi:  

“As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all beings.” Dalai Lama'
