Originally from Bahia, Brazil, Elka brings to her practice the rhythm and warmth of her homeland, the presence and direct relationship with the body that runs through much of her teaching.<\/p>\n
For over twenty years, she has been teaching and training teachers. Her path has led her from yoga to intuitive meditation, from Clarity Breathwork to sound, poetry, storytelling, and movement, always with the same intention: to create spaces where we can feel before trying to understand. <\/p>\n
A path that was also born from her own experience. In her twenties, while going through a period of deep disconnection from herself and her body, yoga offered her the gift of returning to herself. From there, a calling was born that she still carries today. <\/p>\n
“This work is my calling. I have put my whole heart into creating spaces where everyone can feel seen, supported, and accompanied on their journey.”<\/p>\n
Samba also holds an important place in her world. Through rhythm and movement, she invites us to let the body find its voice again, to express what words cannot always say, to rediscover a freer, more instinctive joy. <\/p>\n
Elka also works with cacao in a ceremonial setting, as another space for presence, listening, and connection. A way to slow down, to settle, to enter into relationship with ourselves and others differently.
\nBecause the body carries so much. Tensions, emotions, memories, but also this capacity to find movement, vitality, and joy again when we give it space. <\/p>\n
It is this intelligence of the body that Elka explores and shares, with an approach that is deep, alive, and profoundly human.<\/p>\n
After being with us at the very first edition, Elka returns to Matavai Bay this year to continue this journey with us.
\nWe are happy to welcome her back for new spaces around breath, movement, rhythm, and presence. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
