Mangaliso Moments

Mangaliso is Zulu for “You are an amazement.” Living Mangaliso is about taking that reality and creating an intentional life where health, breath and well-being aren’t just wished for, they are achieved.

Mangaliso moments are a series of workshops, videos, classes and (just like the phrase says) moments. Creating spaces for people from all walks of life, going through different sets of situations and circumstances. The first one I want to introduce to you is….

Somatic Support for Parents with Kids who have a Chronic Illness

Read our story in the following blog post. In the coming days and weeks, we will provide opportunities made up of exercises and practices that create spaces for breath, stress release and support.

Inspired by Lewis Carole’s poem, The Jabberwocky, and one word, MANGALISO, I set out to focus on how others can daily experience the amazement (Mangaliso is Zulu for “YOU ARE AN AMAZEMENT”) of their own being.

There are frightful realities that exist, learning how to overcome them and thrive is what I am about in life and at work. Whether the “beast” is imposter syndrome, the inner critic, stress, anxiety, burn-out or fatigue there are ways to vanquish the obstacles that stand in the way.

Hi, my name is Elle Miller, and I am a passionate trauma-informed SOMATIC therapist (C-IAYT, 500 hr Therapeutic Yoga Specialist, 200 hr Experienced Yoga Instructor) who truly believes in the healing power of integrative mind-body-spirit modalities.

The greatest gift somatic therapy has given me is deeper breaths and a calmer mind, more connection to myself as I truly am as well as the ability to connect to others more authentically.

I’ve owned local businesses in Blacksburg, VA and Charlotte, NC for many years and have been involved in online leadership since 2004. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience that will help me help you, whether that’s in-person or online.
