I have always been active since I can remember. I loved any sport that my older siblings were doing at the time. Gymnastics, Dance, Swimming, Diving, Soccer you name it. I went on to play soccer and run track at Mississippi State University and finished my last two years of college playing soccer at Marshall University in West Virginia. In 2000 I graduated with a BA in Adult Fitness and moved to Atlanta to start my fitness career as a Personal Trainer. In 2002 I moved to South Orange County, California were I was first introduced to Pilates and immediately feel in love.

In 2002 I started my pursuit to become a Pilates Instructor and by 2006 I was a fully certified Advanced Level STOTT PILATES Instructor. I did not stop there, in 2009 I became a STOTT PILATES Instructor Trainer. I am also a Pilates Method Alliance (PMA) Certified Trainer and an American Council of Exercise (ACE) Certified Personal Trainer.

In 2012 my daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia. As a result, I was unable to make it to the studio to do my daily equipment based Pilates workouts. I had a Suspension Trainer at home that I used regularly to do fitness-based workouts. I started playing around with the traditional Pilates equipment and mat based exercises on my suspension trainer and to my surprise many exercises were more challenging on the Suspension Trainer than the Pilates equipment. That is how the Pilates Suspension Method started.

When I am not teaching workshops or training clients I love spending time with my husband Greg and our two children Raelyn and Renick.

The Pilates Suspension Method (PSM) combines traditional and contemporary mat Pilates and equipment-based Pilates exercises and performs them on any type of suspension apparatus.

Each PSM exercise is Pilates rooted and is also done in many of the traditional Pilates series. The PSM is designed to teach in a group or one-on-one setting

Community. Connection. Mind. Body. Energy. Acceptance, friendship, laughter, space. Letting go, pushing boundaries, stepping outside our comfort zones—transforming in ways words can’t quite capture. This experience has been one of the best investments in myself. We arrived as acquaintances and strangers, but we left as friends—deeply connected, inspired, and empowered. Through body work, mind work, meditation, journaling, breathwork, and unwavering encouragement, we grew together. I’ve come home a better version of myself, and I can’t wait to see what this incredible tribe will do next. Endless gratitude to Yogando and Brooke—already counting down to the next one!

Life-Changing! Elisa from Yogando and Brooke Burke are the best in the biz. Never have I felt more fully me, unfettered and free, than I did during our 7 days in Costa Rica. If you’re looking for more than just a yoga retreat—if you want a transformative experience that nourishes your body, mind, and soul—look no further than Yogando Retreats. I recently had the privilege of attending the Costa Rica retreat at Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, led by the incredible Brooke Burke and expertly curated by Elisa / Yogando. From start to finish, this retreat was a masterclass in balance—a seamless blend of movement, mindfulness, adventure, and connection. Elisa’s attention to detail is second to none. Every element—from the stunning accommodations in the lush jungle of Nosara to the thoughtfully designed daily schedule—was crafted with intention. Throughout the week, we explored breathwork, meditation, journaling, discussion, and many other modalities that met every retreater where they were while carefully guiding them to inward, toward their best self. Beyond the practices, this retreat cultivated a true sense of community. The group felt like a family by the end of the experience, brought together by shared growth, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Elisa and Brooke have a gift for creating these sacred spaces—where people feel safe, inspired, and completely present. And let’s talk about Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort—the setting was nothing short of paradise. The food was incredible, nourishing us with fresh, vibrant meals every day. The spa, the pools, the proximity to Nosara’s famous beaches—it was the perfect backdrop for personal transformation. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just beginning your journey, Yogando Retreats is an experience not to be missed. Elisa is a visionary, a leader, and a true heart-centered guide. I left this retreat feeling stronger, more centered, and deeply grateful—and I know I’ll be back for more. If you’re on the fence about booking a retreat with Yogando, let me save you the time: DO IT. Your future self will thank you.

This was my 4th yoga retreat and It was, by far, the most magical!! We covered so much in terms of wellness including: mindfulness, nutrition and physical training. We laughed, we cried and most importantly, we loved. If anyone is looking to up-level their existence then go on this adventure into the profound space of self-care led by Brooke Burke and made possible by Elisa (Yogando). I am a better person today than I was before going on the journey of self discovery with these two amazing humans✨

By Melanie A for BBZone | Longevity Retreat in Costa Rica on Mar 06, 2025

I cannot say enough good things about this trip or about our host, Elisa. The 7 days that I spent at Bodhi Tree were life changing. It is very rare that you meet people like Elisa who are genuinely as kind and generous as they seem. I promise, she is the real deal! Every moment of the trip felt like I had died and gone to heaven. From the shuttle arrangements to the lunches and dinners, Elisa nailed it all. When you attend a Yogando retreat, prepare to feel pampered. Please do yourself a favor and book now! You won't regret it.

By Alexandra P for BBZone | Longevity Retreat in Costa Rica on Mar 03, 2025

Absolutely life changing. It's my second retreat with Elissa and Brooke and I am incredibly happy I went (again). It was different than the last time and everything I needed. I am excited to take away a lot of daily rituals and integrate them into my daily life. Elissa is amazing and didn't miss a beat. She thought of every detail and made herself available for any and every question and request. I am so grateful for Elissa and Yogando!! Can't wait for CR in Feb 2026!!
