Elke is a certified yoga instructor and graduated with a Yoga Teacher Certificate from MokSana Yoga Center in Victoria in December 2007.
Her yoga history goes back to 1984 when she took her first yoga classes as an exchange student in England. When she was pregnant in 1994, she took prenatal yoga. Since then she has remained convinced that yoga is one of the best ways a woman can prepare her body for giving birth.
Over the years, she has been very fortunate to experience the teachings of many inspirational teachers from different traditions in Europe and Canada. She has been taking classes in the traditional Sri Swami Satchidananda Integral Yoga Hatha style for many years here in Victoria and continues to learn from every teacher and every student she meets.
In her teaching, she approaches poses mindfully and gently, teaching alignment and working on opening energy channels in the body. In movement and stillness she encourages conscious breathing, which is the link to our inner world and our inner wisdom. She strongly believes in the power yoga has to create harmony between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components of our lives.
Elke hopes to share her enthusiasm for yoga and to encourage all people, regardless of their perceived ability, to open themselves up to the enjoyable and freeing nature of yoga practice.
