Arianna Elizabeth, founder and owner of Bright and Salted Yoga Studio LLC, is an ERYT-500, Certified Pilates Instructor, Certified Yoga Sculpt Instructor, Certified Indoor Cycling Instructor, Meditation & Breathwork Facilitator, YouTuber and professional photographer (BFA/MFA) whose mission is to create a safe and welcoming Christ-centered space for all people to becoming healthier versions of themselves. Although yoga in itself is not a religion, she as a Believer, tailors any spiritual practices to students that deeply consider their Christian backgrounds while on their mats.
With 9+ years of a personal practice and 8+ years of teaching experience, Arianna has taught many hundreds of classes in both the South and Midwest, amongst offering over 800+ free, on demand online classes currently being utilized by over 231,000+ subscribers across the globe. She believes in being able to respect, appreciate and enjoy the benefits on the yoga practice while simultaneously not feeling the pressure to sacrifice one’s own personal beliefs.
Through thoughtfully but creatively planned vinyasas and a blend of carefully selected music, she enjoys guiding her students, breath-to-movement, through their individual practices. She designs sequences that require minimal demonstration while still maintaining a mental and physical challenge. Modifications and/or variations of each asana are always available as each class is delivered in both English and Sanskrit. She strives to allow her students to experience liberation and a childlike playfulness through their practices by offering asanas that build functional, intrinsic strength rather than just superficial strength, that will be used in their day to day lives.
When she’s not at her studio filming or prepping for in-person classes, you can find her reading a good book, at Bible study, walking her Goldendoodle pup or booking another cruise with her husband!
