Ellen McLeod

In 2005 she found her first yoga class.She stumbled onto her mat seeking a body that moves in balance to guide her mind to balance. Over time, Ellen learned that a yoga practice supported her intention to be the best version of herself. Week after week, she just continued to show up. Ellen began teaching yoga in 2012. Ellen is an E-RYT 200 (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) with Yoga Alliance which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with an approved and active Registered Yoga School (RYS) and that she has instructed over 1,000 hours of yoga practice. She maintains this certification with continuing education to ensure safe, well-informed classes that are true to the Yoga Alliance mission: to advocate for yoga, in its wholeness, and for all human beings in theirs.Ellen will choose the scenic route any time she can. On her birthday she likes to do something that she has never done before. She is a mother, a daughter, an administrative professional, a first-on-the-dance-floor friend, a teacher, a neighbor, a poet, a wife, a wanderer who is not lost, and a forever student of yoga. Ellen’s approach to teaching - like her personal Hatha Yoga practice – supports resilience, better decision-making, and reduced stress which leads to calm, strength, balance, wellness, and personal growth. Hatha Yoga classes with Ellen include mindful movement and a playful spirit to bolster harmony in daily living.
