About AnanditaWellness
My Story
Elina Rangelova,
E- RYT (200)
Behavioral Change Specialist
ACE Certified Personal Trainer
Hello,
I am Elina- the creator of Anandita Wellness. I am a DC based yoga teacher registered with Yoga Alliance E-RYT 200 for the past 8 years, Yoga Retreat organizer, ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Kids Yoga instructor and a Behavioral Change Specialist.
Ever-since my early 20's I have been drawn toward wellness, longevity and happy living. I have been researching, studying and dedicating my time to help others move with more joy and ease.
My approach to yoga and personal training is to meet you where you are and challenge you appropriately where it's most needed. Even thought my group classes are often described as tough, I like for everyone to feel cared for and get as much rest as they need during the class.
A main focus of my teaching is to give clear instructions to set people up for success with a good form and execution when exercising or doing yoga. I consider active yoga as a moving meditation- synchronizing mind, body and breath is powerful and relaxing at the same time.
I love organizing yoga and wellness retreats where people can connect with nature, make friends, relax, laugh, rejuvenate, stretch and move. Local or International - Yoga retreats are aways unforgettable!
I graduated with a degree in Education and I love working with children as much as working with adults. I have been teaching kids yoga classes, Early Learning and Art and Movement classes at local daycare centers, schools and parks for over 8 years and it still brings immense joy seeing my little students and their families.

What Do People Say
“My son has taken yoga classes from Anandita Wellness for the last couple of years, and I am truly impressed with the instructor’s ability to engage with young children and create an interactive, child-focused atmosphere while guiding them through different yoga poses. I’ve attended classes with my son and was able to see firsthand how much the children enjoy going on their yoga journey. I’ve read about the connection between practicing yoga and reducing anxiety and anger in children. I can attest to this and have seen my three-year-old use “deep yoga breaths” to calm himself down in times of frustration. I also have seen him beam with a strong sense of pride in his ability to master certain poses—the “tree pose” being the most difficult—after months of practice. The instructors at Anandita Wellness are exceptional, happy, positive, and kind people. We couldn’t be happier!

“I can’t sing the praises of Anandita Wellness loudly enough! My daughter LOVES her classes and she is learning and growing with each class. Anandita Wellness has been such a bright light this past year for our family. Everyone looks forward to the weekly classes! Highly recommend!
"Prior to working with Elina neither my husband or I had done any yoga. Our goals were to improve balance and see what yoga could do for us. We've been very pleased with our private lessons and look forward to learning more ways to improve flexibility.
Highly recommend Elina's private classes!"

Kids Yoga
Classes
The Kids Yoga Classes are equally fun and beneficial activity for children's young minds and bodies. From enhanced concentration, memory and focus to increased strength and flexibility, each yoga class provides children with tools to help them in different ways.
Here is how it works:
Practicing yoga postures requires concentration, memorization and body awareness, thus children are working and developing all of those skills, while performing the poses. Getting into asanas (yoga poses) also requires enhanced strength, stamina and flexibility, which kids improve with repetition during the classes. The breathing techniques practiced in the classes help children with emotional regulation and give them tools to manage anxiety in a healthy way.
During the yoga classes often times the kids go on an imaginary adventure field with kindness and wisdom. Children love acting out the stories and working together to help the characters or find a solution to a problem, all of which enhance their creativity, compassion, and team work abilities.
