About Elyse
Contact: elyse@bluemorphoyoga.com
Elyse Sullivan received her 200 hour teaching certification in Costa Rica through Frog Lotus Yoga in 2011, and she has been teaching ever since. She teaches a mindful vinyasa flow class and sequences in a way so that the poses flow naturally from one to the next. She emphasizes safe alignment, mindful breath, and longer holds in poses to create strength and flexibility. She sprinkles in yogic philosophy and wisdom, but she also allows time for quiet reflection. She enjoys teaching because it continually inspires her to grow in her own practice and knowledge, and the relationships it has brought into her life have been incredible blessings.
Yoga, both in its physical practice and philosophy, has deeply impacted Elyse’s life, and it is an honor for her to share this practice with others. Her hope is that students feel grounded, strong, and centered when they attend her classes and feel a deeper connection to themselves as they leave their mat, and because of that, an ability to live with more awareness and authenticity in their day-to-day lives.
Elyse has a 2 year old daughter, and she practiced and taught yoga up until the last week of her pregnancy. The deep breathing, hip opening, core strengthening, and meditative aspects of yoga helped Elyse have a healthy, happy pregnancy and delivery. She loves teaching yoga to pregnant mommas, and all of her classes offer variations to suit pregnancy.
