Elsie Escobar
is a jack-of all trades: yogi, thespian and new media producer and innovator.
She began her love of yoga while attending grad school at the National Conservatory in Denver,Colorado. In 1997 she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, and worked in movies, television and regional theater. It was during this time that she was able to discover her love of yoga. While delving into the practice of Anusara Yoga she rediscovered her desire to teach. She chose to study and teach Anusara Yoga and has been doing so since late 2001.
A tech lover at heart, Elsie found new sources of inspiration: Podcasting and Social Media. Elsie began podcasting in July 2006 and she is the top rated female yoga podcaster. Since it's inception, her podcast episodes have been downloaded over a million times. Her podcast is simply called "Elsie's Yoga Class: Live and Unplugged".
During these 3 years working in podcasting and building a passionate audience she has become a steady source of inspiration and support to both her listeners and budding podcasters designing specific strategies for media development and creating honest and grounded relationship approaches via private consulting and her unique and creative YoGeek Workshop Series. She's also had the privilege of working for one of the most successful and innovative new media companies Wizzard Media, where she worked one on one with hundreds of podcasters both refining their work and facilitating advertising campaigns to monetize their content.
Her biggest dream is to educate the everyday yogis about the beauty of new media and it's wonderful power, while also reaching out to the everyday techies and invite them to step deeper into themselves and their health via yoga.
Elsie currently resides in Pittsburgh, PA and is working doing exactly what she loves, being with her family and creating deeper connections wherever she goes.
