Elisa is a Jamaican-Italian yoga teacher and breathwork guide based in New York City. Her classes integrate modern and traditional teachings, drawing from her studies in India, Portugal and her regular NYC practice. 

She has studied with Jivamukti Yoga, with additional training from Kula Yoga, Laughing Lotus, Liberation Prison Yoga, Tibet House and David Elliott’s pranayama breathwork method. These studies shape her alignment-focused, trauma-conscious approach. Through movement and breath, she guides students in reconnecting with their bodies.

She initially turned to wellness to navigate grief, recover from a physical injury and heal ancestral trauma.

Alongside her teaching, Elisa is a 2x Emmy Award-winning art director with an international background in editorial design and digital media.
