You’ve spent enough
time pushing through.
Now let’s find another way.
You want to move, get stronger, and do the things you enjoy. But when exercise, or even a “gentle” yoga class, has left you feeling worse, it’s hard to know what’s safe to try. You find yourself second-guessing every move, unsure whether you can trust your body anymore.
You’re not lacking motivation.
You’re tired of having to choose between pushing through and sitting life out.
Here, we take the time to find what feels manageable, with supported rest, small movements, and guidance that adjusts with you. Together, we’ll begin rebuilding trust in your body, at a pace you’re comfortable with.
“I tend to injure myself very easily with neck strains, back issues, and weird knees.
But I always feel like I’m in
good, safe hands
with Elaine.”
Hi, I’m Elaine.
I’m a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT) with a Bachelor’s in Biology. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked with more than a hundred clients navigating chronic tension and pain.
My background brings together traditional yoga and an understanding of the nervous system, but our starting point is always you: how you’re feeling, what you’re hesitant to try, and what you want to return to.
Some days, we begin with supported rest. Other days, we explore movement and strength. My role is to help you find a practice you can work with, even when your body’s needs change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Imagine having your ordinary life back.
Maybe you miss Pilates, or dinner with friends without wondering how you’ll feel tomorrow. Maybe you’d just like to get the groceries home without needing the afternoon to recover.
Nobody puts “having energy left after laundry” on a vision board. But those things matter.
Through yoga, rest, and movement adapted to you, we’ll work toward the everyday things you miss. You can bring the pain, the uncertainty, and the perfectly reasonable skepticism about trying one more thing.
Let’s talk about what you’d like to get back to.
