How Violinist and Entrepreneur Elena Urioste Created a Thriving Yoga Community, Plus Garnered Loyal Fans from the Depths of Lockdown
Elena Urioste
Joining us today on the Classical Post Podcast, Elena Urioste is a musician, yogi, writer, and entrepreneur who has appeared as violin soloist with all the top orchestras in the U.S. — New York Philharmonic, LA Phil, Philadelphia and Cleveland orchestras.
She is the co-director of the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective, which is an Associate Ensemble of London's prestigious Wigmore Hall.
She is the co-founder of Intermission, a program that combines music, movement, and mindfulness, aiming to make music-making a healthier, more holistic practice for students and professionals alike through yoga and meditation.
Our conversation highlights her vibrant energy from her multi-cultural background and how that infuses her everyday style. I particularly enjoyed hearing her travel recommendation to Germany's Schloss Elmau hotel and spa, which needs to be on everyone's dream hotel list.
We explore how she expanded her career into yoga and started an organization that even has an app!
Interestingly, she recounts her perspective on the importance of fulfillment and not just success. I found this emphasis to be quite profound.
Finally, we conclude our chat with how her new studio album came to be — out of the depths of lockdown and building a large digital community around that shared experience. The album, #UriPosteJukeBox, features her husband, pianist Tom Poster, and will be released on the Orchid Classics label this September.

📣 Free Masterclass for Artists
If you’ve enjoyed this conversation, I’d love to share something I created that expands on many of the ideas we explore here on Classical Post.
I recorded a free Masterclass designed specifically for classical musicians who want to:
✅ Book more concerts
✅ Increase their performance fees
✅ Build visibility with presenters, agents, and collaborators
This is the same visibility strategy I’ve used in my work with artists at Gold Sound Media—approaches that have helped them land major engagements and grow their careers in meaningful, measurable ways.
📩 Enter your email below and I’ll send you the link to watch the Masterclass on YouTube.
It’s practical, actionable, and designed for artists who are ready to stop waiting and start being seen.
