align with what
your body knows

what you've been taught doesn't always

and the best part is that

people like
you are...

the narrative around what it means to move *well* in your body

This is the space for the movement-minded *person* reconnecting with their curiosity through conversations that explore yoga in ways that feel more human and more *honest*.

Elena Shapeshifts offers a yoga practice that blends science and self expression for mindful educators and enthusiasts.

Here we explore the principles of connection, reflection, and commitment.

SHIFTING

JUST YOGA

It's more than memorizing 206 bones...here we learn to apply anatomy and move WITH it.

Let's expand your career as a yoga teacher or movement professional. 

SCIENCE BACKED

GRANOLA VIBES

Exploration of how YOUR body moves in and out of everyday life.

For a practice that makes YOU feel connected to your body and the world around you.

YOUR OWN WAY

DOGMATIC APPROACH

Finally! A practice NOT focused on handstands or bending it like barbie (although we cover that).

We offer connection, reflection, and play by encouraging curiosity.

ENJOY MOVEMENT
