My name is Elissa Toto Taylor, and I'm so glad you're here.

Embodied Yoga was born out of my desire to help people reconnect to their bodies, to live mindfully instead of in a constant state of distraction or dissociation or rushing.

One of the transformational lessons yoga can teach is that when we're not grounded in our body, the mind wonders. When that happens, we're not living life but sleepwalking through it. On the mat and off, yoga has helped me notice when I'm detached from my body and my busy mind is running wild. It's also given me the tools to return to the present moment through my breath and felt sensations, both of which allow me to quiet my mind. This is the power of yoga, and I want to share it with you.
