Elisa Barretta

Elisa is originally from New Jersey and spent a wonderfully formative decade living in Rome, Italy, working as an apparel designer. Her 20 plus year yoga practice has helped her grow stronger, healthier, happier, more flexible and fearless, both on and off the mat. Elisa completed her 200 Hour Training through YogaWorks, with Hayleigh Zachary and her 300 Hour Training with Rina Jakubowicz. She is certified in The Yoga Remedy, and mentored with Dani Ibarra. She received her Yin Yoga certification from Bianca Fearon and Restorative Yoga with Jillian Pransky. She is an Urban Zen Integrative Therapist, and a Master Level Reiki Practitioner. She completed a Master in Subtle Body Training with Jeanne Heileman, and also studied and mentored with Danni Pomplun. Elisa aims to guide her students to their place of balance, pushing just enough, then knowing when to let go, in order to find that sweet spot between control and surrender, landing in their own place of peace, equilibrium, and joy.
