Yoga For The Type A Yogi
I created Ellavateyoga for type A’s, ex and current athletes, students and teachers like me—who were born with an incredible will to succeed.
Journey With Ella
GET TO KNOW ME
Though I wasn’t conscious of it at the time, my journey to yoga actually began during my childhood in Romania. As part of both a Communist society and the country’s Junior Olympic Gymnastics Team.
Although my body developed great strength through gymnastics (and I found surprising solitude being upside down), I often lived in fear. That reality is reflected in my emphasis on the mental aspect of yoga. In class, I focus on strengthening the mind as much as on strengthening the body.
While I have a reputation as a demanding teacher, I welcome questions and am able to modify poses to accommodate students of different levels. My approach to the practice blends different classical styles with a focus on alignment, arm balances and inversions.

“Perfect balance between a world-class athlete type strictness that pushes you safely to your limit, complemented by the most compassionate, sensitive, funny beings I’ve come across. She is all sorts of wonderful!” @cuchira
The Antidote To Your Busy City Life
Yoga is learning to return to yourself. It’s a way to remember who you are—the self you’ve forgotten while being caught in the flood of a fast—paced life. Being off-balance and anxious does not lead to a healthy, enjoyable existence. So let’s learn how to center both our body and our mind, so we can be at peace.
