Elle Gadient Besler

We’re thrilled to introduce Elle, the newest member of the Intelligent Movement Pilates family and one of our talented yoga instructors!

Elle grew up on her family’s farm in the Dyersville area and recently returned home after spending a few years in Colorado. Inspired by her passion for building community, Elle found her calling in yoga, a practice she loves for its ability to bring people together while fostering mindfulness and presence.

Her yoga journey began during her college days at Wartburg, where she fell in love with a slow-flow class. Later, she embraced hot power yoga at a neighborhood studio in Denver, where she discovered the resilience that yoga cultivates—both on and off the mat. Eager to share the transformative power of yoga with her community, Elle completed her 200-hour yoga teacher certification through Core Power Yoga, a Yoga Alliance-certified program, in 2023.

In her classes, Elle invites you to take a break from the busy pace of life, focusing on mindful movement and the power of breath. Her warm and approachable teaching style creates a welcoming space for everyone, from beginners to seasoned yogis.

When Elle’s not in the studio, you can find her enjoying pasture walks with her husband and their dogs, sipping tea on the porch, or admiring the beauty of an Iowa sunset. She’s excited to guide you in your yoga journey and looks forward to seeing you on the mat!

Join Elle for an upcoming class and experience the joy of being fully present.
