Elena Maria Larsen is a Sedona-based yoga teacher, sound healer, and artist who specializes in creating soul-centered, community-powered experiences. After hitting rock-bottom with C-PTSD in an incident that crippled her left side and left her “bionic"; she turned to art, yoga, sound and Mother Nature as pathways to healing -- and over a decade later, she now guides others to do the same.

Elena has received over 1000 hours in Yoga Training from various lineages: Kundalini, Therapeutic Uses of Yoga, Satya and most recently, Sattva Himalayan Yoga + Kundalini where she studied in Rishikesh, India. She has been a sound meditation facilitator for over 6 years. Elena's classes incorporate wisdom from all areas of her education and she shares these yogic tools in hopes to uplift and empower others to amplify their inner light and turn inward to deeper presence and inner peace.

Known for her deeply intuitive, compassionate and grounded approach to teaching– Elena weaves ritual, movement, and creativity into powerful spaces of transformation. Her greatest joy is bringing people together in person to remind us that being amongst community is one of the most potent tools for healing individually and collectively.
