about elemental life
Where science, movement and lived experience meet to restore balance in everyday life
Elemental Life is a movement and wellbeing practice shaped by thoughtful, evidence-informed approaches and real-life experience, supporting women in developing a deeper understanding of their bodies through movement and awareness.
The roots of elemental life
Elemental Life is founded and taught by Sylvie, whose work has been shaped by over two decades of study, practice and personal exploration. Alongside formal training in sports science, biomechanics, yoga, Pilates and somatic approaches, her work is informed by lived experience, learning to listen to the body, recover, and understand what it truly needs to function well.
This combination of scientific understanding and lived experience has shaped a way of working that is thoughtful, individual and grounded in real life.
At the heart of Elemental Life is the belief that wellbeing is never one-size-fits-all and that lasting change comes from working with the body, rather than pushing against it.

“I was in Morzine for a weekend and I was absolutely shattered! I met Sylvie and knew at once she could help. I was treated to an intense, relaxing, powerful therapy session to put me back on my feet. Sylvie, I would travel 5 hours across Switzerland JUST to visit you again!!!! Deep thanks”

“With just two sessions of somatic with Sylvie I finally learned how to stretch properly and to run freely. I felt the power of Sylvie’s positive energy. A month later I ran 111km in a day and no injuries! Thank you so much Sylvie. You’re amazing!”

“Anyone fancy some great yoga classes? Sylvie Walls is a great teacher combining somatic, movements that retrain the body in alignment, and more traditional yoga.”
