Jennifer Elliott

Jennifer Elliott is a yoga teacher and teacher trainer in the Los Angeles area whose interest in the practice began with a college essay on yoga and meditation. She worked for a time as a massage therapist, qualified as a yoga therapist through Loyola Marymount University in 2008 and holds senior registration with Yoga Alliance. She helped found two yoga teacher-training schools and spent many years leading anatomy, yin and 200-hour trainings for YogaWorks.

Her classes move between strong vinyasa, slow yin and supported restorative work, and she often blends the two in what she calls VinYin, with clear anatomical cues and attention to the subtle body, the chakras and the koshas. She teaches live online classes through Yoga World Heart, sees private students, and has led retreats in Costa Rica, Bali and Greece. She has also taught at yoga festivals, recorded The Revival series of yin and restorative classes for Wanderlust TV, and worked with professional athletes, including a season as yoga teacher for the Los Angeles Rams. On Commune her yin and restorative series License to Chill is part of the membership.
