Teachers   >   Elinore Cohen

Unique, vivacious, supremely talented. Not only has Elinore Cohen made a major mark in the yoga world, but she did it with a passion and boldness that inspires. Through her studio in southern California, her popular workshops and teacher trainings, Elinore developed a well-earned reputation for advancing the most new to the most seasoned yogi with her dynamic, alignment-driven vinyasa. She zeros in on the placement of your feet, your thighs, your arches, but not for aesthetic reasons. Elinore stresses the details so you can get centered and focus on self-discovery, rather than just perfecting asanas. She does it with great skill and a lightheartedness that make all poses more satisfying and the most challenging ones doable. Her approach is rooted in her exciting "Pelvic Floor FlowTM" method which delivers more depth in every pose. The pelvic floor includes the inner and outer thighs. When weak, this area leads to back, hip and sciatic pain and limits our yoga practice. At her workshop, learn specific poses to isolate and strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor to increase their flexibility and stability. Then playfully explore a variety of arm balances and inversions as Elinore breaks down the moves to make them accessible and fun! She'll also deconstruct commonly misaligned asanas so everyone will have heightened awareness about safe alignment. Elinore has over twenty years of movement and dance experience in ballet, lyrical, modern and jazz including with the famous Joffrey Ballet. A love of fitness and wellness led her to yoga where she explored everything from Iyengar and Anusara to Ashtanga and Vinyasa. A certified yoga teacher, she has been influenced by Lisa Walford, Annie Carpenter, Maty Ezraty and many others.
