Through her practice, she’s cultivated a deeper connection to her mind, body, and soul and now she’s passionate about creating that same space for others. Elise has learned from incredible teachers in Austin, San Antonio, the RGV, and Mexico, bringing a well-rounded and grounded perspective to her classes.
