Elika Aird came to the path of yoga in 2000 by chance when she injured her back and was looking for physical relief. As a fitness professional, she was amazed to find not only her body growing stronger, but her mental and spiritual connection deepening as a result of this practice.
Elika incorporates her studies of various styles of yoga with the fluidity of the vinyasa system, to create an environment that allows each student freedom in each pose, while still emphasizing the therapeutic benefits of alignment. Her classes blend the strength of a flowing dance with insightful postures to restore and revitalize the entire body from the outer to the innermost levels.
In 2005, Elika completed her 200-hr certification at Peachtree Yoga Center and then went on to deepen her knowledge of prenatal yoga, by completing the mindfulness based Whole Birth® Yoga Teacher Training. Along her path she has had the opportunity to study with such gifted teachers as Shiva Rea, John Friend and Sarah Powers.
Currently, Elika is pursuing her 500-hr Prana Vinyasa Teacher Certification with Shiva Rea. Her love of of educating and supporting women in pregnancy and birth, led her to also complete her training as a Birth Doula with Doulas of North America ( DONA) in 2008. Elika feels blessed by all the wisdom her teachers have shared with her and enjoys every chance she has to pass these gifts on to others.
