Elissa Chanin-Sharp has been a practicing yoga for the last seven years. Her first real experience on the mat was a prenatal class. Here she found a community of like-minded moms-to-be who shared not only the practice of yoga, but their ups and downs of their 9 months to motherhood. What started out as an activity to stay in shape during her pregnancy became so much more.
In September of 2013, she started her 100-hr training with YogaRocks! Kids and in January 2014 became a registered C-YRKT. Additionally, Elissa holds a 25 hr certification from Yogi Beans. Most recently she completed her 200 hour adult yoga certification through Simplicity Yoga in Kings Park. She is a registered RYT-200 and RCYT instructor recognized through Yoga Alliance.
Elissa is so excited to share her love of yoga with children of all ages. She has taught at Anna House – Belmont Racetrack, Central Queens Y, Portledge School, Friends Academy, Practice Body Mind and Soul, and Lifetime Athletic. Elissa loves to incorporate music and art into her classes, and is lucky to have two beautiful yogis of her own who love to test out all her new ideas.
