Founder · Vinyasa & Alignment
Mara Ellison
Mara opened Elowen after a decade of teaching in rooms that felt rushed. Her classes are precise, warm, and quietly demanding, with plenty of time to feel each shape before moving on.

Breathwork & Meditation
Ines Okafor
Ines trained as a respiratory therapist before turning to yoga. She teaches the breath as a practical skill, something you can carry into a meeting, a commute, or a hard conversation.

Strength & Mobility
Sol Navarro
A former dancer, Sol builds classes around stable joints and honest effort. Expect slow holds, clear cues, and the occasional laugh when the hold runs long.

Hatha & Beginners
Juno Park
Juno has a gift for making the first class feel like the tenth. Their Hatha Foundations series is where most of our regulars began.

Yin & Restorative
Ren Albright
Ren teaches long, supported holds and the kind of stillness that takes practice. Bring socks. You will be warm, and you will not want to leave.
