Elaine O’Rourke, 500 hr Yoga Teacher, Sound Healer & Musician, is continually inspired by the transformations that occur through yoga and music.
This shines through in her optimistic, up-beat, but calming personality. Her compassionate and joyful teaching style encourages you to be fully present in all aspects of life. She recognizes that the beauty and the challenges of life are there to help us grow, how obstacles can be looked at as opportunities.
Originally from Co Wicklow, Ireland, Elaine now resides in Gloucester, MA. This is where she began playing solo which resulted in her Debut CD “No Beginning, No End”, an infusion of mystical folk, pop and rock.
After a life threatening battle with Crohn’s Disease, Elaine’s musical creativity took a shift towards that of pure love and light that bring the listener to a deep place of relaxation. She began playing in her yoga classes for savasana (relaxation) and soon they became part of healing workshops.
As a result she has a wonderful CD “Silence of Time” which is a collection of 10 heart-felt songs & chants, perfect for relaxation, yoga classes, savasana, and healing therapies. All this music is infused with divine love and is sure to uplift your spirits. Plus an array of wonderful musicians have lent their talent to this heartfelt project.
She often includes this music in her workshops & classes, and has played at such places as Kripalu, MA and Boston Chant Festival as well as leading Kirtan (chanting) concerts with The Sacred Angels as well as community chants.
Elaine also offers Vibrational Sound Healing Journeys using Singing Bowls, Gongs, Chimes, Mantras, percussion that all leads to deep relaxation and meditation, bringing the listener back to a state of balance.
To be able to combine her two inspirations of yoga and music is a true gift. Continuous training with master teachers of various yoga traditions means that she brings the best to you. Certified through YogaSpirit Studios (500hr), she also assists in trainings and collaborates with Kim Valeri (Director and Founder). Other trainings include the Anusara Immersions and certification from the Sivananda Vedanta Organization 200hr.
As an avid traveler, Elaine loves exploring what the world beholds as well as offering yoga retreats in Costa Rica, Panama and other wonderful places.
She teaches classes and workshops in Gloucester, Essex, Rockport, Beverly where she also does beach yoga during the summer months. She is also at various studios around the Northshore of Boston (see schedule & workshops) as well as throughout New England.
Come ride the yogawaves with Elaine and let her lilting Irish voice invoke the mystical within you!
Om Shanti
Peace
Namaste.
