With more than 15 years of practice, Elsa KERAUdren trained in Vinyasa Yoga (200h) in Brussels in 2019 in order to deepen the philosophy and benefits of yoga on the body and mind. Since then she has trained in several other practices and methods, and she teaches Hatha Yoga, pre/postnatal yoga, and menopause yoga, among others.

Practicing various sports and meditating daily, Elsa is convinced of the importance of training the mind as well as the body to reduce stress and to cultivate grounding, confidence and clarity. Her teaching, accessible and caring, focuses on breathing, interoception, deep reinforcement, alignment, and mobility.

She adapts her lessons to each student and invites them to focus on listening to sensations rather than looking for performance or aesthetics.
