Elena brings a unique blend of analytical thinking, curiosity, and passion to her yoga teaching. Originally from Kazan, Russia, she earned a degree in Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics and worked in the field for five years before relocating with her family to Moscow and eventually the United States.

Elena discovered yoga in 2019 after moving to Massachusetts and immediately fell in love with the practice. What began as a search for physical activity and community quickly became a transformative journey that supported both her physical and mental well-being. She completed her 200-hour Rocket Yoga and Power Vinyasa certification through Yoga with Carson Academy in 2020 and later pursued additional Power Yoga training with Joa Yoga and Miles Mortensen. Her dedication to learning even had her waking up at 2 a.m. to attend live trainings based in London.

Known for her strength-focused and empowering teaching style, Elena's classes emphasize resilience, stamina, confidence, breath awareness, alignment, and mindset. She is especially passionate about arm balances and handstands and loves helping students explore what they are capable of in a supportive, pressure-free environment.
