Meet Pip Elysium, overcoming obstacles through movement
Wanderlust’s feature on Pip, her story, and how movement helped her overcome obstacles.
Read the featurePip Elysium’s work sits at the intersection of dance, yoga, somatics and personal development, shaped by a lifelong relationship with the body and a curiosity about what happens when movement becomes a form of expression rather than simply something we do.
A trained ballet dancer and performer, Pip has been dancing since the age of two and teaching since she was nineteen. She trained through the Legat School of Ballet professional programme, studied choreography with Siobhan Davies as part of her degree, performed with Candoco Dance Company, the contemporary company of disabled and non-disabled dancers, and co-founded AcroYogaDance in London, teaching thousands of students along the way. She has headlined at the OM Yoga Show, taught at Wanderlust and Bestival, led workshops for Lululemon, Adidas Women and Sweaty Betty, performed at Wembley Stadium for an audience of 70,000, and been featured on Wanderlust TV, in The Telegraph and the Evening Standard, and on three yoga magazine covers.
Alongside movement, personal development has been part of her life since she was 27. She has completed most of Tony Robbins’ courses and part of his Leadership Academy, and that grounding in mindset and personal growth runs through everything she teaches.
Her work has been shaped by years of following movement through dance, performance, yoga, energy work and, ultimately, some of the most transformative experiences of her life.
