As a shy child, Elissa instantly fell in love with dance and it’s power of emotional and personal expression. At age fifteen, she auditioned for and was accepted into Kaleidoscope Dance Company in Dacula.

After injuring her knee as a dancer, Elissa turned to yoga as form thorough which to continue to explore movement. She is now a certified 200 hour registered yoga teacher (RYT) through Yoga Alliance. Elissa was drawn to Art is Motion through her position as a yoga teacher and from there was recruited into the AIM teaching internship program where she rekindled her love of dance.
