élanRei
Yoga, Rituals & Healing
élanRei Yoga & Coaching was established in 2019 by myself, Spela (Elan Rei) Erdeljc, and crafted from the French term élan vital (the vital spark) and an Elven symbol for flying (to support my strong adoration for birds and envy for their wings), Elan Rei, as channelled by Marjetka Jeršek. The name solidified my purpose and my intention for what I feel called to do - to bring at least a tiny bit of light and healing to people who need it most, while also helping to re-ignite the inner spark of magic in those who have forgotten about it.
élanRei feels like a forever growing and changing organism, that started from a long process of deep self-inquiry, far-and-near soul searches, many lost and existentially scary moments, explorations of the subconscious and head-first dives into ancient scriptures, movement, meditation, pranayama, chanting, energy work and other expansive practices of self-awareness and mindful living.
It's a home, a sanctuary for anyone embarking on the path of self-discovery, vibrant health, life full of purpose, softness and fierce grace.
It's a playground for movers, dancers, groovers and a steady base for yogis, a healing ground for all the wounds that need to be seen and released, and an overall safe space for anyone looking to re-connect with their bodies, express their emotions and find that powerful voice within themselves that reminds them they are their own guru.
My Values
Grounded Approach
At the core of my practice is a deep commitment to being grounded and down-to-earth in everything I do. I believe in maintaining a humble and realistic approach to life, people, and our shared human experiences. Whether interacting with clients, students, or anyone who crosses my path, I strive to remain present, approachable, and fully connected to the reality of the moment. Groundedness is about staying rooted in the present while embracing compassion and empathy, fostering an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and understood.
Cyclical Living
Our lives are inherently cyclical, but many of us have lost touch with the natural rhythms of the Earth and the cosmos. I believe our disconnection from these cycles—whether they are the lunar phases, seasonal shifts, or the menstrual cycles in women—can lead to imbalance and dissatisfaction. That’s why I advocate for a return to cyclical living, where we realign ourselves with the ebb and flow of nature. Through rituals that honor the moon, practices that reconnect women with their menstrual cycles, and other natural rhythms, I guide others to live in harmony with the universe’s cycles. Living this way creates a deeper connection with Mother Earth, fostering peace, balance, and overall well-being.
Spirituality
Spirituality is woven into the fabric of my life and work, shaping how I see the world and engage with others. Although I don’t subscribe to any particular religion, my beliefs are deeply personal and informed by a profound understanding that we are all connected. I honor the spiritual aspects of life, recognizing the importance of energy, unity, and the unseen forces that guide us. Through rituals, meditation, and mindful practices, I help others incorporate spirituality into their daily lives, offering a path to greater connection, healing, and self-discovery. It’s about making spirituality a way of life—an ongoing conversation with the universe.
The Power of Rituals
In a world of constant motion, rituals are our sacred anchors. I believe these intentional practices bridge ancient wisdom with modern living, creating magic in the everyday.
Through mindful movement, meditation, and ceremonial practices, we transform automatic routines into conscious moments of creation. Each ritual becomes an opportunity to slow down, connect deeply, and honor the natural rhythms that guide us – from our breath to the seasons, from our monthly cycles to the cosmic dance of life.
These sacred practices don't just connect us to ourselves; they weave us into a larger tapestry of community and tradition. Whether we're flowing through yoga sequences, celebrating seasonal transitions, or holding space for healing, each ritual creates a container for transformation.
Here, every breath can be a prayer, every moment holds potential for magic, and every day offers an invitation to live more intentionally.
Following Intuition
Intuition is my compass in life and in my work. While I honor tradition, teachings, and ancient knowledge, I deeply trust my inner voice to guide me—whether I’m coaching, teaching yoga, or offering healing sessions. I believe that everyone possesses this innate wisdom, a guiding force that speaks louder than intellectual knowledge or external advice. My work is rooted in helping others listen to their own intuition, making space for their inner guidance to flourish. Intuition allows for flow, adaptability, and alignment with one’s true path, which is why I reject rigid structures and embrace practices that evolve with the moment.
Energetic Alignment
Everything in the universe, including ourselves, exists on an energetic level first. To make meaningful and lasting changes in our lives, we must begin by shifting our energy field. It's essential to align with the highest version of yourself and embody that vision daily through small adjustments in habits, thoughts, and actions. By consciously inviting this elevated archetype or version of yourself into your energy field, it gradually merges with your being. Each day, as this energy becomes more integrated, its qualities naturally shape your thoughts, behaviors, and reality. As an empath and energy worker, I sense and work deeply with these energetic shifts. My healing sessions, rooted in Reiki and guided by intuition, help realign your energy field so you can step into your highest self and experience true transformation in the material world.
True Empowerment
True empowerment isn’t about following societal expectations—it’s about boldly stepping into your authentic self. To be truly empowered, you first have to be authentic. This means tuning in with your body, listening to its signals and your inner guidance, peeling back the layers of conditioning, shedding the masks we wear to fit in, and daring to be truly you and vulnerable, even when it’s uncomfortable or lonely.
That's where real strength comes from - vulnerability, not force. True empowerment is about nurturing your inner power with love and compassion, trusting your intuition, and showing up for yourself, even in tough times. When you embrace your full, authentic self, you claim your worth and rise with quiet confidence, knowing you are enough as you are.
Soulful Community
We aren’t meant to walk this path alone. I believe in the power of community—building connections that uplift and support rather than isolate. In my work, I foster environments where individuals can come together, especially in women’s circles, to share, grow, and support one another without the toxic competition that often divides us. Community is an antidote to the loneliness and disconnection so many of us feel. By lifting others, we rise ourselves. It’s about creating spaces where everyone is welcome, exactly as they are—equal, valued, and seen.
