Ellen Shapiro, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist, certified sex therapist, and certified Kripalu Yoga teacher who has been teaching yoga since 2000. She has an active psychotherapy practice and incorporates mind/body approaches and spiritual awareness into all her work. She has long been interested in positive health and wellness, and the integration of mind/body/spirit through psychotherapy, bodywork, and energy transformation.

She has been facilitating groups and workshops for over 25 years. Ellen began practicing yoga as a teen and returned to the practice seriously around 1989. She was certified as a teacher through Loretta Armer's yoga teacher training in 1999/2000, and began teaching locally in Tallahassee at that time. Since 2002 she has taught at least 3 regular classes a week at the Namasté Yoga Center in Tallahassee, as well as teaching workshops and leading retreats. She completed Kripalu yoga teacher training in 2001. She has studied with various other teachers, and has a strong interest in yoga as a body/mind healing modality. Ellen is currently studying energy healing with Bart tenBerge and is enjoying weaving these elements into both her yoga and psychotherapy practice. Ellen has a strong interest in the healing qualities of the practice of sacred sexuality.
