Ellen Martinoni, CYT

Ellen is a certified yoga teacher (500 hour level) with over 10 years of teaching experience. She has extensive training in the therapeutic aspects of yoga and its healing properties. She loves sharing the gifts of yoga with others and gently encouraging them toward greater health. She has lead classes for all levels of students at Arthritis Health since 2003. See Yoga Class Schedule at Arthritis Health. Prior to her life in yoga, Ellen received her MBA from Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management in Glendale and spent 5 years in the corporate world managing an international department. A bad back brought her to yoga class and it created such a transformation in her health and in her life that she made a complete career change to assist others in their healing. She sees herself first and foremost as a student and this informs all of her teaching. Striving always to learn more, she is humbled by the depths of the 5,000 year old tradition of yoga and the fact that the well of knowledge never runs dry. Yoga’s gifts reach well beyond the body and create an integration of the mind and body that allows us to not just feel better physically but to thrive in all aspects of life.
