She was first certified in February 2016 in Beverly Hills to teach YogaBarre. During her travels for independent film production she moved to Santa Cruz in 2018 and became certified to teach Bikram, Yin, Restorative, Pranayama and Chanting, also studying with Ida Ripley during that time to become certified in I.R.I.S (intermediate Bikram).

Elaine Miller

Yoga Instructor

Elaine has a nearly lifelong background in movement to include ballet, aerobics, running and yoga.  She discovered her absolute passion for yoga in 2023 at her husband’s suggestion to “try yoga” to help manage stress.  That trial ignited a fire that has burned since she first stepped onto the mat.  She was attending classes 4-6 times a week almost immediately.  An unplanned early retirement from a 35-year career in healthcare divinely coincided with an also unplanned last-minute opening in a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at her yoga studio, both ending and beginning within a few days of one another.  While still in YTT, Elaine taught her first yoga class, on her birthday, and the blissful certainty that this was what she was meant to do filled her heart.  She graduated and became a RYT-200 Hour registered through Yoga Alliance and obtained additional certifications in Yin Yoga and Kids Yoga.  She continues to teach Vinyasa Flow, VinYin, Beginner Flow, Gentle Flow and Detox Flow.  Elaine is currently enrolled in a 300-Hour YTT to start in January 2026.  The deeply meaningful transformation which has been at the center of her yogic path moves her to want to share her authentic self and space with others as they come to their mats.  Elaine has been in both the Daytona Beach and Port Orange areas since she was a small child and is married to an amazingly supportive husband.  Together they have one son.
