Elona Canaj
Elona Canaj RYT-200 completed her training in August 2019 at Philly Power Yoga Studio in Philadelphia. Her interest in other yoga styles led her to complete the Yin & Restorative Yoga teacher training at Yoga Life Institute in February 2020. She also attended the Trauma Aware Yoga Training from Samadhi School of Yoga in September 2020. Elona loves connecting with fellow yogis and looks forward to getting to know everyone who practices with her. Her purpose is to teach and practice yoga as a tool to train the body and mind. Elona seeks to guide her students to find openness, feel self-compassion, and ease distress both on and off the yoga mat.
Bhagavad Gita said, "Yoga is a journey of the self, through the self, to the self". This resonates with Elona who found a deeper sense of self practicing yoga. Now as a teacher, Elona is passionate about helping guide her students and fellow yogis on their own journeys through the collective breath, awareness and mindful body movements in her classes.
