Happy Birthday to our incredible co-owner, Ellen! 🎉
It was her “crazy idea” that popped in her head 14 years ago that started this whole thing! And once she walked through those doors, put on the mic, and turned up the music to teach that first class, it was home. She’s been sharing her light and energy with this community ever since. 💜
No matter what class she teaches, Ellen brings a contagious energy, an incredible playlist, and a whole lot of heart to every class. (And if there's a new variation of malasana involved, we're pretty sure you're smiling even bigger. 😉)
Outside the studio, Ellen is a Certified Holistic Health Coach, passionate about helping others live healthier lives and empowering moms to advocate for their families. She is a stay-at-home mama to her two sweet boys, Leo and Lowen, who are her entire world. When she's not at Novo, you'll likely find her traveling with her family (30 countries and counting! ✈️), dancing, singing songs to her boys, embracing low-tox living, or planning her next adventure.
Ellen makes every class feel like a celebration—sweating, smiling, and shaking it alongside some of the strongest women we know. From unforgettable Twerkshops to leading healthy living workshops, she does it all with passion and enthusiasm that radiates.
Join us in wishing Ellen the happiest birthday! 🥳 Thank you for inspiring us with your kindness, your love of movement, and your commitment to helping others live their healthiest, happiest lives. We hope this year brings you as much joy as you bring to everyone around you. We love you, Ellen! 💜
