Peter Elmas
Owner / Lead Teacher
Peter has been walking the Yogi’s Path for over 20 years – as a student, practitioner, and teacher - and he has a deep passion for this powerful lifestyle. From his first experiences with asana, pranayama, and meditation, he knew that Yoga would be his Way. His main goal in life is to share his passion and this practice that has transformed him profoundly with as many people as he can. Peter considers the practices of Yoga to be medicine and he is a stand for delivering the teachings and practices in a way that is personal and personalized.
Peter’s path has been paved by the grace of his Guru, Ram Dass, to whom he is eternally grateful. Be Here Now, as a book and teaching, is his constant companion. Peter began his yoga journey immersed in both the Ashtanga Vinyasa and Sivananda traditions, where he was first authorized to teach by Swami Govindananda. Peter is primarily a student of the Krishnamacharya yoga lineage and continues to study with his teachers Ryan Leier and Srivatsa Ramaswami.
