Ellie Foden

Ellie Foden is a somatic coach and yoga teacher, and the founder of EMBER, a practice space for creatives. She is also a meditation teacher and transformational coach, and the voice behind Maverick Mind, a podcast exploring the inner world of creativity.

Before teaching, Ellie was a fashion designer whose work was featured in Vogue and Tatler. Losing her fashion label during Covid, and everything that came before it, is why EMBER exists. She built it because she needed it first, and because she knows the gap between how capable you appear on the outside and how much you are holding on the inside, and that closing it is possible.

She has spent over 13 years studying the intersection of the body, the creative mind, and what it takes to sustain meaningful work. She has studied under respected teachers in the Ashtanga yoga lineage in India, as well as teachers of Somatic Integration. She has worked privately with clients, from Hollywood stars to Middle Eastern royals, through bodywork, yoga and somatic coaching.

EMBER offers live classes, group coaching calls and a practice library that covers yoga, yin and restorative practice, yoga nidra, somatic work, breathwork, meditation, visualisation and tools for sharing creative work with conviction. It is built around expanding a creative person's capacity to hold pressure, rather than adding more to manage. Alongside it, Ellie offers 1:1 coaching, online courses, and international workshops and retreats, guiding creatives, innovators and entrepreneurs from self-doubt toward creative authority.
