Elena is the founder of The House of Yoga. She is Italian, but moved to Brussels in 2012. That’s also the year when she first found yoga. After several years of yoga practice and retreats, in 2018, she took a break from her then full—time job to take her first yoga teacher training at the Hawaii Yoga Institute. She soon realised that this was the path she was meant to be on and that’s when the first seeds of The House of Yoga were planted. In 2021, she decided to quit her job to follow her dream and write a new chapter of her life – teach yoga full-time and build her own yoga studio. To Elena, yoga has always meant finding balance in a life full of obligations and responsibilities; finding time and space to be more in tune with her own feelings and emotions. Elena’s classes are playful and energising flows. She believes she’s her best self when she’s on her mat, and wishes to empower everyone to access their true self through the practice of yoga. Her motto is “good decisions come from a calm mind”.
