Meet Yogi Ellie
It all started with Yoga.
I started practicing yoga nearly two decades ago and the practice and study has stayed with me endlessly through out the years. I am so thankful for this practice!
Welcome to My Yoga Journey
Hello! I’m Ellie, a passionate E-RYT500 Yoga Educator and Teacher Trainer with over a decade of experience hosting Yoga Teacher Trainings. As the founder of OMasana Yoga School, Balance & Breath Yoga, and BBYWC, I’ve dedicated my life to guiding individuals on their paths to wellness. My expertise extends beyond yoga; I’m also a Certified Neurologist Linguistic Programming (NLP) facilitator, Consulting Hypnosis practitioner, Reiki practitioner, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) facilitator.
Healing Through Yoga
Yoga has been a transformative force in my life, especially during some of my most challenging times. I want to share with you how this beautiful practice helped me navigate through grief, shadow work, entrepreneurship, and self-doubt, allowing me to find my voice and share my story authentically.
Embracing Grief
Losing a loved one is one of the most profound challenges we can face. After loosing my son, Gavin, and in my moments of deep sorrow, I turned to yoga as a refuge. The physical practice allowed me to release pent-up emotions and find solace in the present moment. Each breath became a reminder that life is fleeting, and I learned to honor my grief while also celebrating the joy that my son brought into my life. Yoga taught me that it’s okay to feel pain and that healing can coexist with loss.
Exploring Shadow Work
In my journey through grief, I began to confront my shadows—those parts of myself that I had long ignored. Through yoga and meditation, I discovered the importance of self-inquiry and acceptance. The practice guided me to explore my fears, insecurities, and limiting beliefs. This shadow work was not always easy, but it was incredibly liberating. I learned that by embracing my darkness, I could illuminate my path and grow into my true self.
Navigating Entrepreneurship
As I embarked on my journey as an entrepreneur, I faced numerous challenges that tested my resolve. The uncertainty of starting my own yoga school and workshops brought waves of self-doubt. However, yoga became my anchor during this time. The discipline and mindfulness I cultivated on the mat translated into resilience off the mat. I learned to trust my intuition, embrace failure as a stepping stone, and celebrate small victories. Each yoga session provided me with the clarity and courage to pursue my passions unapologetically.
Overcoming Self-Doubt
Self-doubt can be a formidable adversary, but yoga taught me to quiet that inner critic. Through practices like affirmations and visualization, I learned to replace negative thoughts with empowering beliefs. I discovered that my story is valid, and my experiences can inspire others. Sharing my journey not only helped me heal but also created connections with those who resonate with my struggles. I realized that vulnerability is a strength, and by sharing my story, I invite others to do the same.
The Truth
I want you to know that you are not alone in your struggles. Whether you’re dealing with grief, navigating your own shadows, starting a business, or battling self-doubt, yoga can be a powerful ally. My journey has been filled with ups and downs, but each experience has shaped who I am today. I invite you to join me on this path of healing and self-discovery! If my story resonates with you and you’re looking for guidance or support, I encourage you to reach out. Let’s connect, share our journeys, and uplift each other as we navigate the beautiful complexities of life together.
