In a world full of distractions, it is easy to lose discipline around our routines and priorities. My intention is to guide you back to balance using yoga and mindfulness as a practical tool to reconnect with a healthier version of you.

About Me My relationship with yoga has evolved from a simple workout into a mindful lifestyle. Like many, I first came to the mat for flexibility. Over time, however, yoga became my ‘safe space’ - a sanctuary where I could navigate knee injuries and my diagnosis of fibromyalgia.

As I was working through those challenges, my once yang-focused, physically driven practice softened. Yin elements found their way in, and my approach became more balanced and therapeutic. It is also when I started practising Mindfulness.

My Training & Lineage I completed both of my teacher trainings in India, where I had the privilege of learning from traditional masters who trained directly under renowned gurus such as Krishnamacharya, Pattabhi Jois, and B.K.S. Iyengar, as well as from exceptional Western teachers. I continue to refine my practice with the Iyengar Yoga Institute in London and a Dharma Yoga teacher Emi Tull.

Currently I am working on getting my SUP Yoga qualification so I can guide my students to find balance on the water 🌊

I specialise in teaching 1:1 classes for deeper connection with my students' intentions & a more individual approach to the practice.

Elvira’s Sunday night meditation is the perfect way to close the week. She has a soothing, grounded voice that helps you settle in instantly. The instructions are minimal and intentional, creating a beautiful natural flow without the distraction of too much talking. It’s a perfect space to find stillness and give myself the space to reflect on the past week.

Yin class with Elvira was a great balance of instruction time and silence as well as theoretical nuances and practice. I found her use of props very relevant and professional yet not overwhelming. We explored some interesting variations which I hadn't practised before, which made the class even more enjoyable.

In her Yin and Yang class Elvira provides a great balance of strong, challenging movements and deeply grounding asanas. I particularly liked the use of the wall as a prop; it helped me find the right alignment for my body personally.

Elvira delivered a refreshing and surprisingly challenging Desk Yoga session that fit perfectly into my lunch break. As an experienced yogi, I loved her unique approach to releasing deep neck and shoulder tension. Spinal twists were a bonus! The class was the perfect antidote to "desk slouch," boosting my circulation and posture for the rest of the day. If you’re looking for something different yet effective, I highly recommend this class!

Elvira's meditation session was brilliant at defining the true purpose of this practice. Instead of promising a magical escape from reality, the focus was on building a "mental muscle" - learning how to observe our thoughts without being swept away by them. I look forward to the next session!

Elvira's classes are really very good - it is clear they are thoughtfully planned, with helpful insights, encouragement and guidance offered throughout. These, and the pranayamas, are gems - something to take away from a class that really stays with me.

I attended a Yin Yoga class with Elvira, and it was exactly what I needed. Her instructions were incredibly thorough and clear, making it easy to sink into the practice without feeling lost. What I appreciated most was her attention to accessibility—she provided thoughtful modifications for every posture, showing us how to use props effectively while also offering alternatives for those practicing without them.

As someone who spends 8+ hours a day hunched over a laptop, Elvira’s Yin class was exactly what I needed. She specifically targeted the 'desk-worker' hotspots—my neck, shoulders, and hips felt a world of difference afterward. Her focus on alignment and use of props made me feel safe and supported, even with my usual stiffness. Truly a 'reset' button for the working week.

I joined the Sunday morning mindfulness meditation and it was exactly the reset I needed before the new week. The guidance was calm, clear, and easy to follow, even through a screen. I finished feeling lighter, more present, and genuinely refreshed.
