If you’re looking for the complete experience you have found the right studio. The owner and teacher Elyse is one of a kind. Her experience and knowledge shines so effortlessly during her classes, while her fun and down to earth personality fills the room with laughter and warmth.
Elyse’s classes are both creative and challenging. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced you’re in the right hands. She is a wonder when it comes to therapeutic yoga. I had issues with my back and after working with her to strengthen and stretch, I have seen amazing results.
Yoga at the Village to me is not only a yoga studio but a discovery center, helping people connect to both their minds and bodies like they never have before.

If 10 stars existed I would give it gladly. Santa Rosa, you don’t even know what fortune you have found yourself in. Elyse is simply a true yogini… Purely human, unpretentious, approachable, warm, tough loving, hilarious, disarming, no bullshit, honest, personable, extremely skilled, disgustingly knowledgable, body aware, and she truly cares for your well being and alignment.
If you go to her classes, I’m pretty sure you’ll find yourself coming back and the results will show. You will find your practice evolving and your alignment will definitely be proper. You’re in good hands. Oh, and she’ll tell you a joke or two: p. I can’t recommend Yoga at the Village enough!

Elyse is as good as it gets! I have been a student of Yoga at the Village for the past 17 years and have taken thousands of classes– literally– with Elyse as my favorite go to instructor! Not only is she fun and enthusiastic, she is extremely experienced in all things Yoga. She knows how to keep you safe and pushes you with knowledge and care. But I think what keeps me coming back the most to her classes, is that they are fun!!! Every class is different. She mixes things up and keeps her instruction always new and fresh .Give her studio a try… you’ve got everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Elyse is the best. She makes yoga fun with a capital F! She brings smiles, laughter, individual focused attention and true expertise into her yoga studios. Highly experienced, bright, quick witted, open and warm — you will be well looked after. She hand picks her other yoga instructors with great care and solidly believes in providing excellence in customer service.
She’s also a wonderful instructor and bodyworker. I was lucky enough to take her Thai Massage class in Los Angeles and it was jam packed with information, demonstration and practical application.
If you have the opportunity to practice with Elyse, take advantage of it. You’ll be glad you did!

I have been practicing Yoga for the last twenty years and I have no doubts that Elyse is the best teacher I ever had! Elyse brings to the class great knowledge and her amazing and fun personality that makes her practices the most popular classes a studio has. She is truly amazing and when you start practicing with her you will know you found THE teacher!

Whether you go to Elyse for yoga or massage, you won’t find anyone better. She knows how to make you move and will help you stretch in ways you wouldn’t think you’re capable of, but always keeps an eye on you so you do it all safely. Her beautiful studio in Glendale felt like a clean, tranquil refuge and her studio in Santa Rosa, looks every bit as inviting.
As for her massages, you have to have one to really know how good they are. You saunter out as relaxed as a cooked noodle with a big smile on your face. She knows intuitively, and from years of education and experience, exaclty where your tension is and how to get it out. She is simply the best and one of the most fun people I know.

An amazing woman has come to Santa Rosa! I have known Elyse for many many years and she is the best among women. Her spirit and joy in life is shared with all who know her and those lucky enough to join her in developing their personal yoga practice. She will lead, inspire and take you to heights you’ve never imagined… and you will say WOW. I will miss her energy in So Cal but I know where she is… and she’ll never be far.

Elyse is one the best yoga teachers around. She teaches with such care and makes sure that everyone is safe. Yoga is good for you but also can be dangerous. Elyse has a strong background and knowledge for the human body, you can be sure to trust in her to heal you either thru the practice of yoga or her Thai massage.

It is no exaggeration to say that owner Elyse’s classes have had a huge positive impact in my life. With so much positive to say, where does one begin?
I met Elyse as the owner of the original Glendale location of Yoga at the Village. I started with just one class, loved that instructor, tried another instructor, and another, and found myself spending as much time at the studio as I could manage. It was truly unlike any other studio I had been to.
I learned that Elyse herself is a caring, giving instructor who is attentive to each student. She truly invests her time and energy into giving each person the adjustments they need to make her yoga classes both safe and challenging, whether you are an advanced yoga student or a true newbie.
Because of her wealth of experience, her classes regularly include students coming in with specific medical conditions, or of advanced age, for whom Elyse easily accommodates through adjustments and alternatives. All while simultaneously providing a more standard practice for the rest of her students!
Its a true genius she has for teaching, and for finding other wonderful teachers to work with. I also appreciate the calm and cleanliness she maintains for her studio and yoga props. Not only are the people treated with respect, but the space and tools are as well.
In a nutshell her instruction style is focused, detailed, knowledgeable and loving. She has a knack for creating a strong and warm community at her studio. I can’t wait for the opportunity to attend classes in the new Santa Rosa location.
