ELISSA CHRISSON
Yoga teacher
Hello! My name is Elissa Chrisson, and I'm the proud founder of YAMA Movement, a community and space dedicated to holistic well-being and the exploration of movement. My journey into the depths of yoga and self-discovery led me to spend a transformative decade in India, where I immersed myself in the practice and study of traditional yoga.
During those years, I learned not just the physical aspects of yoga, but also delved deep into its philosophical roots and meditative practices. I absorbed the culture, the wisdom, and the spiritual energy that India is renowned for, and it has profoundly shaped my approach to teaching and living.
I've always believed in the power of movement as a pathway to finding balance, inner strength, and peace. join me in this journey of exploration and self-discovery through movement, yoga, and community.
