ELENA DELGADO VAZQUEZ
Elena is a Yoga, Ayurveda, and Primordial Sound Meditation teacher. With a background in language and literature teaching and a decade of teaching experience in a range of multicultural environments, she’s deeply passionate about sharing her knowledge, her energy, and her light in her classes. She loves teaching public classes and working with students one-on-one.
Elena took her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Wild Light Yoga Center in Eugene, Oregon, in 2021. With an emphasis on classical Yoga teachings, psychology, and neuroscience, her training included Yoga philosophy, Yoga history, Core 26 and Vinyasa lineages, asana, pranayama and meditation, anatomy, physiology and the nervous system, class sequencing, and hands-on adjustments. In 2022, she became a Chopra-certified Health/Ayurveda instructor and a Chopra-certified Primordial Sound Meditation instructor. She studied under Deepak Chopra, Sheila Patel, Sushas Kshirsagar, and Roger Gabriel. In her Ayurveda program, she dove deep into the Vedic philosophy that is the source of Ayurveda to understand health at all levels of body, mind, and spirit, learned in-depth physiology concepts as related to the dosha qualities, and studied Ayurveda as a manual for conscious living that shows us how to make everyday choices that restore our natural state of balance and health as we awaken to our true Self. The Primordial Sound Meditation program provided her with an in-depth education in the philosophy and technique of Primordial Sound Meditation, which she learned to develop into a unique personalized teaching approach. She studied the origins and science of meditation, learned how to use mindful awareness techniques to enrich one’s meditation practice, learned about the origins and purpose of specific mantras, and dove deep into the higher states of consciousness.
In Elena's classes, through yoga asana, pranayama, and/or meditation, you’ll make space for prana (life force, vitality) to flow freely within your body, freeing your minds from blocks, and welcoming greater clarity. Elena sees herself as a channel to facilitate students’ connection with all the layers of their being (body, mind, and spirit), and, ultimately, with their higher Self. As your guide, she’ll hold space for you to embark on a journey of self-discovery in which you’ll explore the experience of existence itself by just being.
