Ellen Blackman Yoga
Ellen Blackman Yoga is an inclusive, nurturing and non-
competitive global yoga community where you are invited to
move gently and safely. We believe that yoga is much more
than a movement practice, it’s about using ancient yoga
traditions and a trauma-informed approach to help you thrive
in the modern world. Classes are small, intimate and
personalised, allowing you to explore the harmonious
connection between your inner world and physical world, in a
way that is right for your body. Immerse yourself in a wide
variety of yoga experiences including in-person classes with our
welcoming community in South Melbourne, online or private
classes, events and international retreats.

Meet Ellen
Ellen started exploring the world of yoga after suffering severe back pain while studying Literature and Philosophy at the University of Tasmania. She came to realise the need to slow down and use gentle, restorative yoga practices, somatic movement, breath work and meditation techniques to create balance and overcome injury, stress, chronic pain and trauma.
“Many modern yoga styles focus on challenging the body which can be confronting for those who are dealing with pain or stress. My vision is to create an inclusive, nurturing and community-focused yoga experience that invites you to safely explore the harmonious connection between your inner world and physical world. I’m here to support you in developing self-awareness, deep calm, and optimism to help you better manage physical tension, stress and all of the challenges that life throws your way” - Ellen
​
Ellen has travelled around the world, learning from leaders in Anusara, yoga therapy, and embodied movement practices such as Feldenkrais, somatics and body-mind centring. Ellen is an ERYT ( Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher) and she brings together years of studying classical yoga, the subtle body, somatics, trauma healing, the breath and anatomy to provide a holistic, healing and embodied yoga practice.
Over the past twenty years, Ellen has created the beautiful Ellen Blackman Yoga global community with students in Melbourne, Sao Paulo, London and France where she hosts annual yoga retreats.
Using ancient yoga traditions and a trauma-informed approach to help you thrive in the modern world, Ellen loves nothing more than supporting her like-minded community in learning how to create a deep sense of calm, rest, connection and optimism through the beauty of yoga.
