I've been there...
Hi, I'm Elyse! I'm a fitness coach, personal trainer, and yoga teacher.
Back in the days of my professional dance career I was stuck in a never-ending under-eating --> over-exercising --> binging cycle.
And worse, I was beating myself up about it every second of the day.
Then I started studying mindfulness and yoga, and I became determined to approach my body and staying fit with balance, ease, and kindness.
Now I work 1:1 with clients and develop online video programs to help other people blend fitness + mindfulness to live in their most joyful, confident bodies!
I've helped hundreds of people feel more strong, flexible, and confident in their bodies.
Which brings us to #BeKindBodyMind STRENGTH! I put this course together to share effective workouts that can fit into your week in a manageable way, all while deeply appreciating your body and building strength + stamina.This program is specifically designed to help you:
- avoid getting stuck in the same routine, plateauing, or losing interest completely,
- surprise your body with diverse types of movement to continue to create new neural pathways (yes, exercise can actually help make you smarter) and adapt to new movements to build muscular strength,
- progress systematically to avoid risk of injury or frustration for doing too much too fast,
- prevent fatigue and burnout with the active rest weeks that are baked into the schedule,
- be kinder to yourself through intentional mindfulness writing prompts.

30 minutes, 3x/week is recommended with optional shorter videos to add in if you'd like.
Carve out about 10 min/week for the mindfulness prompt.
What equipment do I need?
A yoga mat, sneakers and a set of weights (3-6lbs) is recommended. That being said, many of the workouts are body-weight based, so you'll only need yourself.
If you don't have weights at home, you can use soup cans or shampoo bottles!
When do I need to be available?
All videos are pre-recorded so you won't miss any "live" class times + you can fit it into your schedule in a way that works best for you.
You'll get a recommended calendar to follow, which allows for you to adapt to your personal day/time preferences.
