DANIELLE TARANTOLA, YOGA THERAPY
Danielle Tarantola, director of The Yoga Foundation, is a teacher certified by the Krishnamacharya Healing and Yoga Foundation. She also trains teachers and offers Yoga Therapy . Through continued, extensive training in India and across the US with the Desikachar family, she labors to ensure that yoga’s profound wisdom comes through clearly, simply, and with total relevancy for our modern times and conditions.
Yoga Therapy involves a process of adapting yoga very specifically to the various needs of an individual over time. This uniquely ancient and therapeutic approach is for people, including those who assume they can’t ‘do yoga,’ in all stages of wellness. Yoga Therapy can address a broad range of physical, mental, and emotional concerns. Your personal goals can be approached through this process, so please consider what you are seeking prior to your first consultation. Following the consultation, your teacher will design an appropriate practice, which you will be asked to do at home on a regular basis. After a series of weekly visits, the duration of time between appointments will reduce, until you may be seen once monthly, or even every other month for practice refinement.

Elaine Fruchtman, E-RYT
Registered Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapy Practitioner
Elaine has been practicing yoga for most of her adult years. Yoga has been everything to her, a way of staying healthy, focused, and strong. It has helped her through many of life’s passages; it has kept her sane when everything around was not.
After spending many years working in the business world, she began to teach yoga and provide yoga therapy because ‘I realized that I had something to offer…my love of the practice and lots of enthusiasm. I love teaching…. I love knowing that my students walk away from a session feeling good and that they take what they learned into their everyday lives in very subtle ways.
I don’t know what I love more, teaching yoga or giving a Phoenix Rising session. I have been able to experience profound growth and have witnessed it in others. This is a gift and I am grateful.’
Elaine welcomes people of all flexibilities, and ages, people in wheelchairs and chairs, pregnant women, seniors, people with chronic disease. Elaine believes that we are only limited by our minds. Yoga opens one up to all possibilities….old habits can be changed…new patterns can be created. We don’t have to stay stuck.’
Elaine is a mother of two and grandmother of 3 beautiful girls and lives in Melville.
