About
Hi, I’m Eleonora, your host
Welcome Sister…
I’m Eleonora.
An E-RYT 500 certified yoga teacher, certified counselor from the Gestalt Centre in London and a certified Women's Embodiment Coach. For the past 14 years, I’ve worked with many individuals throughout various stages of their journeys.
In 2018, as a Somatic Movement Therapist and Yoga Teacher, I have supported my mentor Dr. Alexandra Denkinger with leading Yin Yoga Therapy and Somatic Healing Trainings in South India, where I lived for 4 years prior to moving to Costa Rica. As a Creative Content Creator and a Senior Yoga and Movement Teacher at Yin Yoga Therapy I had the chance to dive into TCM and Elemental Yin Yoga which eventually led to offering Healing With The 5 Elements of Yin Yoga, a healing program that helped people to build self-resilience.
In 2019 I was introduced to Sensual Somatic Movement and CDI (Contact Dance Improv) by my dear sister, the International Dance and Somatic Movement Facilitator, Krista Koster.
My deep mentoring relationship with both of these women has forever impacted my teachings, my approach to yoga and movement, and has overall prepared me for my deep dive into Somatic Healing Arts.
In 2020 I moved to Costa Rica and now live in Uvita.
My 1-1 Somatic Experiencing 6 and 12-month containers are the most powerful and transformative containers I have ever offered in years of 1-1 work. It has supported over 100 women around the world in returning to their inner wisdom.
Sister, I hear you.
I know how it is not to feel embodied.
All of my online and in-person containers are designed to take you on a deep journey into the feminine.
I guide women of all ages to re connect with the sacred, unleashed, all-powerful energy center - the "womb space", responsible for unlocking our potential and allowing healing and transformation to take place.
I also offer programs, I work both 1-1 and groups settings, for anyone, men and women, who is struggling with varied energy unbalances on a physical, mental and emotional level.
How things fall into place and how you've landed in the right place!
Early in 2019, I have been called to steward the wild land of Costa Rica.
At that time, I had no idea about what would have followed only after weeks later - the major planetary shifts we've globally experienced until we've found ourselves populating a New Earth.
The only thing I instinctively knew was to let this Energy come through to surrender and so I embraced my new life / mission.
My life in Goa was blessed. I was teaching yoga and meditation full time, and I had a few global clients in the well-being and yoga industries, I continued to work for as a conscious marketing freelance consultant after moving to Asia. I was on a deep spiritual journey.
Doing a Vipassana silent retreat every six months, studying the sacred yogic scripts, the Bhagavad Gita and the ancient Tantric practices. I had the chance to work with amazing teachers and mentors I've been truly blessed with.
That was the beginning of a brand-new life that was waiting for me on the other side of the world.
Ending the Indian chapter, navigating the first European lockdowns in London was pretty intense but necessary to become present to my inner strength and honor my truest essence of being a vessel, a healer, a Gaia guardian and a light worker.
More about my yoga and meditation journey..
As a Senior Asana Instructor, Yoga Philosophy Teacher and 100/200/300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Former I have worked in Goa and Rishikesh (India) for +3 years.
My first spiritual awakening happened in 2010 on a Vipassana 10-day silent retreat, in Italy.
At that time I had a pretty fulfilling career in the creative industry, fashion and communication, in London. Even though I was successful in my career, I was deeply unhappy and not embodied at all!
All of my personal relationships were based on appearance and constantly trying to fit in.
I was living in darkness, trapped in the programming of the capitalistic system we're born in. The only way I knew at that time was fighting to force things to happen rather than being one with existence.
I was not open to the flow of Life. I thought that I was okay, but in truth I was far away from being okay.
After my first Vipassana retreat, I became serious about meditation and yoga. I became a regular guest at London Buddhist Center and also Amaravati Buddhist Monastery (Theravada Buddhism) where I would go to every month for years - observing the Buddhist practice of sadhana, the silence and volunteering.
In 2013, I become a Life & Business Coach (The Coaching Academy London).
In 2014 I work with refugee and asylum-seeking women in London as a volunteer at Ourmala offering yoga and meditation classes.
In 2015, I also accomplish my first 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training and I start teaching Ashtanga Vinyasa. I would continue to study Buddhism, Hinduism, Zen philosophy and mindfulness all the year through.
Later in 2015, I become a Mindfulness Facilitator (Gestalt Center London) and I would start offering embodiment and mindfulness classes at London Buddhist Center - every Wednesday and Friday for about a year.
After about a year I move to India and get to teach yoga and meditation full time.
In the following year I would have attended yoga teachers trainings as part of my continued education path and get to dive in-depth.
In 2019, after a year of helping co-leading yin yoga therapy trainings, retreats and teacher trainings alongside my mentors and teachers I go back to Europe temporarily.
Over the period of the global changes / lockdowns due to the pandemic, I set yup my business online.
Since relocating to Costa Rica showed up in a kind of very casual way - like a whatever tropical experience being in service teaching yoga - I've been immediately called to open up a space for sacred plants to guide me through.
Having bonded right away with the sacred plants, major healing and spiritual shifts took place and so most of the changes I've ever experienced in my heart and mind occurred.
Today I'm honored to be sharing the wisdom of the medicine Kambo in the following settings: Kambo Women Circles in Costa Rica, group and 1-1.
I also work as Sacred Plants Integration Coach.
I started sitting in dieta with master plants this year.
I'm deeply honored to be trained by the sacred plants - receiving their healing codes and being in service passing them onto others.
With Love & Gratitude

I’ve been taking Eleonora’s 5-week yin yoga experience with the elements and I feel so grounded in deep wisdom that she has shared so eloquently. She weaves in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda so seamlessly and brings so much love and care into her teaching. I feel like I’m right there with her even through the Zoom screen. Thank you Eleonora for sharing your love of this precious practice.
