Change is the quiet thread that weaves through all things — guiding us toward new places, new people, and new ways of being.

My Dear Yoga Community,

I hope this note finds you well and grounded. I’m writing to share some personal news — at the beginning of November, I’ll be relocating from Los Angeles to New Jersey. This move brings both change and opportunity, and I’m deeply grateful for the time we’ve shared on the mat here in LA.

I’ll be teaching in Los Angeles through the end of October, so there’s still time to connect in person before I head east. View my public class schedule link in bio. After the move, I’ll continue to offer private sessions and Zoom classes, so no matter where you are, we can keep practicing together. I plan to visit L.A. often and sub classes at my current studios. Sign up for my newsletter to stay updated.

I’m also excited to share that my next Sicily yoga retreat is happening this coming spring, and I would love for you to join me there for a deeper journey of practice, connection, and exploration of my favorite country. More details via link in bio.

While it’s always hard to say goodbye, I take comfort in knowing that this isn’t goodbye—it’s just a shift. Thank you for being such a beautiful part of my community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to book a private session, ask about online classes, talk retreat plans, or just chat.

Namaste` with gratitude and love.

Elisa

You’re still in time for my 4:30 pm Yin Class at One Down Dog Hollywood. Today and every Tu/Th 4:30. 🧘🏼‍♀️SURRENDER🧘🏼‍♀️

Surrender to the postures; the difficult ones reflects life struggles, the sweet ones are joy. Surrender to the outcome of your actions; they are not in your control, each day, each practice, just do your best. Surrender to the actions of the universe; the marvel of nature, the things you never saw coming.
Surrender to your present difficulties; the pain and the losses, especially to the things you tried so hard to control but couldn’t. Surrender to the definition of yourself, your judgments they are just your way of limiting who you are.
Have a deep, unwavering trust that right now, you are where you’re meant to be.
Feel the universe working beautiful magic through you.

Sharing this pic from the candlelit Yin class that took place in the wine cellar of the Masseria during my recent Italian yoga retreat!
I look forward to continuing to spend Sundays with the CFY community, just at a new time starting this Sunday, July 6th. Same lovely space, same warm atmosphere and hot room - just a few hours earlier so you can now move into your Sunday afternoons already stretched and relaxed. 🧘🏼‍♀️

A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful centre. It neither craves others’ approval nor rejects others’ presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants. — Donna Goddard
