Elise is an innovative and inspiring mind/body professional and the founder of EliseJoanFitness – a ground breaking new site that allows members to mix-and-match videos in yoga, fitness, and barre to create their own customized workouts and yoga flows (from 10min to 2 hours) and save their favorites as playlists.  Elise’s rhythmic Yoga flows are dynamic and athletically challenging, while keeping a philosophical base that opens up the mind and expands the heart.

Elise infuses her joyful, alignment-based sequences, with her intuitive style of teaching that transcends the mat by bringing the wisdom of yoga into everyday life.  She is a headliner for the Wanderlust Festivals and the creator of several best selling yoga, ballet and fitness dvds for SHAPE, Gaiam, element and Exercise TV among others and has a monthly column in LA Yoga. Elise has created cutting edge yoga programs for the prestigious Equinox fitness clubs and teaches elite athletes for Red Bull, ZICO as well as player development for the USC Football team.
