BIO

Elaine is a holistic energy practitioner and a multifaceted teacher specializing in yoga, Qi Gong, breathwork, meditation, and sacred space facilitation. With a passion for creating inclusive and transformative spaces, Elaine works across a diverse range of community initiatives, both locally and internationally. From promoting diversity and inclusion within yoga to collaborating with prestigious institutions like Kings College London on PhD research and healing programs for the NHS Oncology Department, Elaine’s work bridges wellness and meaningful societal impact.

Born and raised in London to Nigerian parents, Elaine pursued her academic journey at Central Saint Martins, earning both a Bachelor's and Master's degree. After excelling in corporate roles across Fashion, PR, Finance, and Charities, her curiosity and love for cultural connection led her to explore five continents. Along the way, she immersed herself in diverse communities, fostering bonds and learning from sacred holistic practices.

Elaine’s introduction to yoga and meditation came during a period of personal trauma, sparking a deep and enduring connection to the practices. After a decade in corporate environments, she transitioned to a path of holistic discovery, volunteering in schools and non-profits while assisting in yoga trainings, retreats, and workshops around the world. She became deeply inspired by the communal aspects of healing she observed in different cultures, which shaped her approach to teaching and practice.

In the UK, Elaine noticed a gap in accessible, inclusive wellness spaces and began integrating her rich experience into her work. She holds multiple teacher training certifications and has assisted in numerous YTT programs, retreats, and workshops. Her qualifications include Yoga Alliance accreditation, Qigong instruction, and expertise in healing modalities such as Usui Reiki, Balinese Reiki, Sound Healing, and trauma-informed practices.

Elaine’s teachings are grounded in intention, compassion, and inclusivity, offering a space where students of all backgrounds can connect with their inner strength, heal, and grow. Her work continues to evolve as she combines traditional and innovative practices, honoring the transformative power of holistic healing.
