Who am I?
Hello, I’m Elena Magrini, a Yoga Alliance certified instructor and mindfulness practitioner. I’m passionate about helping people live their empowered lives, by embracing a slow living lifestyle and connecting with nature.
Having spent the last eight years in research and consultancy, I know all too well the toll that high-pressure environments can take on well-being — leading to burnout, chronic stress, and an ongoing sense of dissatisfaction.
The inspiration behind this project came from witnessing the profound change in my life that happened when I intentionally chose to slow down and reconnect with the rhythms of nature.

My journey
My journey has taken me to Vancouver and then to London, where I first started practising yoga in 2018. I’ve been practising and studying since, bringing my mat to the Isle of Wight - where I learnt to embrace a slow living lifestyle - and then to Milan, Italy - where I’m now based. At the beginning of 2024, I decided to train as a yoga teacher and I completed my 200 hour training with the House of Om in Bali.
This international experience has given me a unique perspective on thriving in various environments. It has also deepened my understanding of the challenges of living away from home and emphasised the importance of grounding practices to maintain balance.
An international perspective
Ground and Glow
Ground and Glow is my way of sharing what I’m learning about the importance of embracing a slower lifestyle and reconnecting with ourselves.
Every activity is thoughtfully designed to welcome you into a nurturing environment, surrounded by a supportive community. Through grounding techniques, yoga, and a deep connection with nature, here you will find holistic wellness experiences that empower you to reconnect with yourself.
A space dedicated to slowing down
My vision
My ultimate dream is to open an organic farm, offering holistic experiences that combine yoga, plant and food workshops, and a full immersion with nature.
This is the first step toward this vision. I’m incredibly grateful to share this journey with you and I’m excited to see you shining your light!
