Not just physical movement
A complete practice of attention.
The ACE Practice treats movement as one doorway into something larger: awareness. Every posture, transition and stretch is approached with breath and mindfulness so practice becomes a way to recognize the present moment—not another task to rush through.
Aaron draws from the eight limbs of yoga so students can develop more than flexibility. The intention is to cultivate steadiness, clearer choices and a growing awareness that can accompany you into daily life.
The eight limbs

A session may emphasize different limbs at different times, while movement, breath and awareness remain connected throughout.

Turning attention inward instead of being led by every stimulus.

Concentration: learning to place and sustain attention.
Dhyana
Meditation and the experience of continuous awareness.
Samadhi
Integration: a deeper state of clarity, connection and presence.
Aaron ElamYoga Instructor • RYT 200
Meet your instructor
Transformation made shareable.
Aaron first came to yoga while living with back pain and discomfort, but he was equally drawn to the philosophy behind the physical practice. What began as a way to work with his body gradually expanded his awareness in everyday life and challenged him to become a more conscious person.
The scale of that transformation led him to teach. He believes helping another person discover greater peace, awareness and agency is a rare gift—and one worth sharing with care.
Known online as AceTV, Aaron brings an open, straightforward presence to his teaching. His goal is not performance or perfection. It is helping students find the tranquility of the now moment, then carry that steadiness into life’s challenges.

Before your first practice
Questions are welcome.
Can complete beginners attend?
Absolutely. Beginners are encouraged. The practice begins with where you are today, not where you think you should be.
Can sessions be adapted for injuries or limited mobility?
Often, yes. Share relevant limitations during intake so Aaron can plan reasonable modifications within a yoga instructor’s scope. Yoga instruction is not medical diagnosis, treatment or physical therapy, and medical clearance may be requested.
What should I wear and bring?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting athletic clothing and bring your own yoga mat and water. Aaron supplies common props such as blocks and straps.
Is meditation always included?
Yes. Every session includes meditation or an intentional awareness practice. The length and style are adapted to the session and student.
Can children or teenagers participate?
Yes, when the session can be made age-appropriate. A parent or legal guardian must complete the required consent and intake process, and parent attendance may be required.
Can couples or friends practice together?
Yes. Semi-private sessions are designed for people who want to share the experience while still receiving personalized guidance.
Are virtual sessions offered?
Yes. Virtual private sessions are available by request. You will need a stable connection, enough clear floor space and your own mat.
Is the practice suitable during pregnancy?
General modifications may be possible after you have discussed yoga with your licensed healthcare professional. Pregnancy must be disclosed before the session. Aaron does not hold a prenatal specialty credential or provide prenatal medical care, and may refer you to a prenatal specialist when appropriate.
Where do in-person sessions happen?
Aaron meets clients at a mutually agreed neutral location in the Cincinnati Tri-State area, such as an appropriate outdoor space or rented studio. Locations are subject to weather, availability and venue rules.
What is the cancellation and refund policy?
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice when possible. There is currently no late-cancellation or no-show fee, although repeated missed appointments may require advance payment or approval before rebooking. Completed sessions are non-refundable.
