Elitza Datcheva

Elitza started practicing yoga in 2000 after leaving her native Bulgaria to move to Canada for work. Her corporate work was proving less and less appealing, so upon moving to Arizona for graduate school she decided to devote all her time to yoga. Elitza holds teacher certifications in Bikram, Kids and Prenatal yoga in addition to her 200-hour Yoga Works Teacher Certification.

After becoming a mom for the first time in 2005, Elitza has found immense joy in working with prenatal clients. Her classes are vigorous and alive, a Vinyasa practice with emphasis on precision of alignment and ease of breath sprinkled with bits of wisdom from her continued studies. She is thankful for the opportunity to share her love for yoga with the New York Yoga community.
