About Elena
Elena Sanesi is a certified 500 RYT and PRYT Yoga Teacher by Yoga Alliance Standards and C-IAYT certified Yoga Therapist by the International Association of Yoga Therapists.
She was born near the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. Passionate about languages and other cultures, she graduated as a professional translator at S.S.L.M.I.T. (Bologna University) and subsequently got her MA in Marketing. She has lived and worked in various European countries and fluently speaks a few languages.
Her strong curiosity for the mind-body dynamics started at a very young age and took her through a journey of exploration on various subjects related to holistic healing modalities, body anatomy, psychology and theosophy. However it was only following a bad ski accident in 2008, that she tried Reiki for the first time and started a regular Yoga practice to support her healing process.
