Hello!

My name is Ellen 

I graduated from the University of Iowa with a bachelors in Elementary Education in 2018. I am enthusiastic about marrying my education background with my passions for yoga and social emotional learning. Shortly after receiving my RYT 200 certification, I established Queer Yoga Club at Breathing Room in Cedar Rapids. My mission is to be an advocate and listener for marginalized communities.

I began practicing yoga so I can sleep at night. I wanted a moment to be okay with being alone with myself. The deep listening I was giving to my breath and body allowed me to find rest. My practice made the storm outside of the neurodivergent umbrella, under which I stand, more peaceful.

My Offerings

  • A series of breathing and laughing exercises that will bring the group together. For more information read my blog post.

  • If you’re a beginner to yoga, I cannot recommend chair yoga enough. It offer everyone a safe and supportive environment to learn the foundational yoga poses, breathing techniques, and mindfulness practice.

    This class, you will be given to power to practice yoga anywhere you can find a seat.

    Whether you're looking to stay active, manage pain, or simply relax and unwind, chair yoga offers a gentle yet effective way to nourish both body and mind.

  • In sanscript, Nidra translates to sleep. Unlike traditional meditation practices that require focused attention, Yoga Nidra induces a state of deep relaxation by systematically rotating awareness through different parts of the body, sensations, emotions, and imagery. This guided meditation technique allows participants to enter a state of conscious deep sleep, where the body and mind can experience profound rest and rejuvenation. To learn more about yoga Nidra, check out my blog post.

    You will receive personalized guided sessions tailored to individual needs and goals. Whether you're seeking stress relief, better sleep, emotional healing, or spiritual growth, Yoga Nidra can be a profound and transformative practice.
