Meet Your Teacher

ELSA KAUFFMAN (aka Ms. Elsa) is the owner of “Itty Bitty Zen” and has partnered with local schools in an after-school yoga program initiative. Elsa’s experience
as a nanny of a 1-year-old boy and his 2.5-year-old sister has given her great insight into helping kids regulate their emotions through breathing techniques, visualization, yoga asana, and sensory activities. Her teaching style is fun, energetic, and creative and she focuses on social/emotional learning in every class.
She firmly believes that ALL children, including those with special needs, can gain valuable skills through the foundations of Yoga. 

Elsa is a current 500HR RYT and 95HR RCYT instructor and started her journey into Yoga Therapy in November 2022.
Elsa lives a primarily plant-based lifestyle and incorporates meditation, Ayurveda, holistic practices, and exercise into her daily routine.
She has witnessed that breath, balance, and communication are the keys to thriving in relationships and maintaining a healthy mind, body, and soul.

When Elsa is off her mat, she runs a successful graphic design business and enjoys helping others find their dream home as a local Realtor.
The youngest of five, Elsa was born and raised in Hanover, PA, however, has become a “native” of Florida after 24 years. She enjoys cooking, being outdoors, road trips, and spending time with friends and family — especially her husband, David, their extended families, and their playful Chihuahua, Moses.
