About Me:
Ellen teaches classical ballet with a yogic approach. She uses the teaching of dance as a way of evoking self-acceptance, beauty, balance, grace, a sense of unity and love for the process of learning. She acknowledges and nurtures the "dancer within" all of her students and gives professional training regardless of age, body-type, limited self-belief, or level of training.
She believes that along with proper placement and technique, the awakening of expressive truth, musicality and one's innate creative intelligence are equally important in empowering dancers to use the body as a means of creative self-expression and extend the grace of dance to all of life.
Ellen is also a writer and spiritual mentor. She is currently living and teaching in India. She is available for private coaching in person or for private consultation by email, phone or skype.

Essentially, there is only Love and what does not know itself yet as Love.
As Love meets Love in form, as it recognizes itself, it spreads everywhere
waking itself up to its own glory!
We are here as God in time, experiencing ourself in infinite diversity - Ellen Davis

Interests:
Truth. I can leave it there but will go on: I have interest in going to the essence or living the essence. I am interested in what flows from stillness and the Silence;
Living eternity in time;
Intimacy and relationship;
The creative process;
New paradigm living, teaching and learning approaches;
Satsang;
Yoga as a way of life;
Undivided awareness;
Integral psychology and spirituality;
Individual, organizational and collective revisioning,
co-creating and transformation;
facilitating self-realization and witnessing the Lila and
evolution of consciousness;
Wu Wei;
Advaita, Gnosis, Satchidananda;
The nondual/nottwo/undivided/ within the apparently dual. Not creating a division with what is apparently dual. I am interested in our true, unborn, prior to conditioning, nature.
I am interested in the truth behind and through all appearances, behind and through what we might see as the ordinary or the extraordinary; in the love that breathes itself as and through all appearances, the grace sometimes hidden that is behind all appearances; and where all of that and whatever ideas of me breathe into nothing or into new form, where meaning and all of these words and their stories collapse and leave emptiness, no one, or something unknown, where the known breathes into the unknown and perhaps back again, ever fluid, where this is not made into a formula and its breath or new evolving breaths from here are lived through all of life, and create new paradigms or understandings of relationship, education, and business - and out of our known oneness our senses of responsibility/connection at the individual, group, community, national, international,, global, universal levels and beyond are born. i am interested in the vehicles of dance, music, writing, film, theater, visual arts and crafts, healing, education, and satsang, i enjoy beauty in life, in art , and in nature. I enjoy dancing, writing, choreography, photography, ... being. .... this.

Thank you for your kind words and interest, and I am sorry to have taken so long to see this and reply. I am not currently living or teaching in NYC. I am currently in India and directing and teaching a ballet program here!
One of the biggest challenges in coming back to ballet after a long absence is not comparing where you were with how you are now. Focus on enjoying where you are. Stay present with what is happening now and immersing yourself in it and do not distract yourself with your ideas of what you were, or put rigid expectations on what you think you should be. It can really undermine one and zap the joy out of the process to look back on where you were or forward to an ideal and expect to be there. Your greatest progress happens when you stay present with where you are. That can include a vision and aspiration and still be creative if you do not attach expectations that will leave you feeling self-judgment if you do not satisfy them.
Love and namaste,
Ellen
