Groundwork Yoga

 Elena Chance began her Yoga journey in Winter Haven, Florida with Cathy Strang, RYT-500. She has practiced Bikram Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Viniyoga, and Anusara Yoga in Sarasota, Baltimore, and New York.  Elena received her formal training through Charm City Yoga, a Yoga Alliance recognized program in Baltimore, MD with Instructor Kim Manfredi.  Elena’s primary interest in Yoga was initially focused on recovering from back injury.  As her practice continued, not only did she enjoy back health, but she also noticed an unmistakable peace of mind that came from dedicated practice. 
Moving back to Winter Haven challenged Elena to bring the many gifts of Yoga that she has learned through her travels.  Today, Yoga affords Elena physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.  It is her goal and highest ambition to share the gift of Yoga with others and to foster an environment that will help to grow a yoga community in Winter Haven – from the ground up! elena.groundworkyoga@gmail.com
