Structure & Stillness

"Within yourself is a stillness, a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.
—Hermann Hess

Welcome. I am Ellen Mosko, a passionate yoga instructor dedicated to helping you find more balance and harmony in your life through yoga.

Yoga is for everyone, yet not every posture suits one's anatomy. When I began teaching, the options for practicing a challenging pose were limited. As yoga has grown in the west, we've embraced variation during practice. So why does variety matter?

In my 20+ years of teaching, one truth remains the same: no two students are alike. Each person has a unique background with movement and an endless variety of shapes and structures of their bones. It would make sense then to alter an asana to meet the needs of each student. In my teaching, I offer choices for the postures and often use props to encourage students to feel the actions of the pose before moving toward the shape. 

Not unlike sleeping in your bed overnight in an odd position – we've all done that! Forcing your body into an uncomfortable shape can eventually lead to giving up a practice that is beneficial on many levels. Instead, in my classes, students are encouraged to look within and listen to the language of the body – sensation. How is posture or practice sitting with you?

Progress in yoga means becoming sensitive to the quality of one's thoughts and actions and learning how to access the quietness at your center amidst the world's noise. When we approach practice, mindful of individual structure, we begin to feel a subtle shift in energy, and the mind can settle into stillness. 

—Ellen

Hi, I'm Ellen! Thanks for dropping in.

My journey with yoga began back in college, but it wasn't until the late '90s that I really dove into it. As 2003 came to a close, I took the leap and enrolled in my first yoga teacher training program – a decision that would shape my path in so many ways. 

Yoga philosophy states that a practice done with consistency over time will yield results. 

 

  • "Ellen is a wonderful yoga teacher. Her classes are structured in a way to make you feel like she is speaking solely to you. Clear alignment cues make a posture more accessible and comfortable. If you are new to yoga or more experienced you always learn something new from her class. She has strengthened my practice and I will be forever grateful."

    —Pam H.

  • "Ellen is a master at facilitating an awareness in our bodies of new avenues for growth and expansion. She breaks elements down into digestible parts that can be readily incorporated into our daily practice. She has an amazing gift for preparing dynamic, fresh, and engaging classes week after week! I leave class each time rejuvenated with a sense of lightness and openness, ready to step out into the day. I am humbled by her knowledge and dedication to the practice and grateful to benefit from the work she does. Thank you, Ellen!
