Elisangela



Hey, I’m Elisangela!
I’m a Yoga Therapist, Yoga Instructor, and Holistic Nutrition Consultant from San Jose, California. I am passionate about all things nutritious, delicious, and endorphin-boosting!
​
I started on this holistic health path because my father and grandmother both had diabetes and suffered all the complications that come with it. Once I learned diabetes is preventable I delved into learning and studying Holistic Nutrition and how to prevent not only diabetes but most of all diseases of affluence.
Today, I have over eight years of experience working with Diabetes Prevention. I specialize in working with pre-diabetic individuals who have busy schedules that make it difficult to commit to a regular exercise routine and struggle to adopt healthier eating habits.
My mission is to empower them to overcome obstacles hindering their progress toward improved health, resulting in low blood sugar levels, and successful weight management.
​
On my own path of self-discovery, I found Yoga back in 2005 during a period of profound emotional turmoil, a time when I felt lost in many areas of my life. Through the practice of Yoga, I embarked on a transformative path of self-discovery and healing. Since then, I've delved deeper into yoga, learning how its ancient teachings can be applied as Yoga Therapy to help me navigate through life's challenges. It enabled me to forge a profound connection with my physical body, calm my emotional mind, and restore balance in my life.
​
Today, with my newfound passions for health and well-being, I offer Yoga Therapy, Holistic Nutrition, and Sound healing to help my clients find their balance again.
I feel extremely lucky to have found my true calling in teaching and coaching. Seeing my clients and family living healthier and happier lives is really satisfying.
