About
My name is Elisa.
My name is Elisa Kennedy, and for twenty-five years I've been teaching women how to move, and how to come home to themselves in the process.
Philosophy
My work is a combination of Pilates, Yoga, Barre, and mindful coaching: a practice of intertwining mind and body through breath, movement, and kinesthetic awareness.
I'm here to guide the quiet work of going within, weaving every principle and practice I've gathered over twenty-five years into one whole. Of returning to the body. Of meeting the self that is already here, fully, in this time and space.
