Growing up in Sherwood Park, Alberta, from a young age, Elana loved all forms of art and expression.  She was always dancing around from place to place with a smile on her lips.  She loved music and was constantly singing and creating choreographed dance recitals with her friends.  She began teaching herself to play the piano around the age of five and took eight years of the Royal Conservatory of Music.  Art and drama were also passions and constantly took courses and classes to learn and grow.  Her love for arts slowly turned slightly to the technical side of things as she attended NAIT in the Digital Media Design with a specialty in graphic arts and web design, graduating with honours.

Elana was first introduced to yoga when she was living in the USA and dabbled in it off and on for numerous years.  She turned to her practice, as many people do, for comfort in a hard time and quickly noticed how daily practice helped her work through the good, the bad, the happy and the sad all at once. Through asana practice with her teacher, Heather Thomas, she established a strong sense of self and she found the art form that truly made her feel whole. Seeing how strong her love for asana was, Heather encouraged Elana to pursue teacher training, but Elana knew that it would have to be the right timing for herself, when and if she decided to.  

After moving back to Canada, she noticed the strong want and need for yoga in the small town she was living in. Without access to a local studio, Elana developed a personal practice for the first time, and was surprised how comfortable she was with making up her own flows and sequences. She spoke to anyone who would listen to her talk about yoga and experienced great enthusiasm about this newly forming role... It was time for her to become a teacher.  

Elana became an RYT-200 in 2014 under her teachers April Kuramoto and Safah Roberts at the BLYS School of Yoga on Vancouver Island and hasn't looked back. She teaches Vinyasa and Yin yoga from her home studio in Hinton, Alberta.  She also enjoys putting on workshops and special activities such as 'Yoga for Runners' and Outdoor 'Hike and Yoga' Experiences.

In 2018 Elana also became a certified Meditation teacher through Lifestyle Meditation, under her teacher Mandy Trapp.
