Eleonora Gendelman

Born in Ukraine, my life has always been driven by movement and creativity. From an early age, I explored everything from swimming to dance, volleyball, and art. At 12, I moved to Munich, Germany, and by 15, I was on the runway, gracing magazine pages, winning Fresh Face of Germany, and signing with Major Models. Fashion became my world, and I studied it deeply, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design. But one thing was clear—London was calling. Trusting my intuition, I moved there for an internship, and from day one, I knew I’d found my place. I made my mark in fashion, working with icons like Erdem, Jean Paul Gaultier, Haider Ackermann, Burberry, and Iris van Herpen. But I was looking for more than couture and the next big show. I was after a deeper purpose. And that’s when yoga entered my life—a practice that grounded me, pushed my limits, and gave me tools for resilience and true freedom. It was no longer about me; it was about what I could give back. Yoga called on me to show others their own potential. Today, I’m a London-based teacher, training clients at top studios, leading workshops internationally, and mentoring the next wave of teachers. My classes blend powerful movement, inversions, and a bold approach to transformation that’s both creative and rigorous.
