Elissa Lapposatato-Cuellar began her yoga journey in 2002 after a traumatic accident drastically changed her life.  In 2012 she opened Nirvana Wellness Center.  She truly believes if one aligns their body and gives it what it needs, they can heal themselves.  Elissa teaches classes for all levels that is focused on breath awareness, during challenges specifically. She believes the yoga mat is like a training facility for life and all that we face. If we train ourselves to breath through intense situations on our yoga mat, it becomes habitual off our yoga mat and we think clearer and react more mindfully.  She loves teaching beginners, privates, and specifically athletes to help them transform their bodies and minds to overcome weakness/asymmetry. Elissa is certified in Y12SR and started a yoga 12-step recovery program in New Jersey to help those suffering from addiction. She has been teaching for over 15 years and has many certifications. She is a Vedic Thai bodyworker & plant based lifestyle coach with an Ayurvedic certificate program. She is constantly studying and researching alternative health & wellness.

 "With the power of the breath, we can overcome anything."
