Liz
Liz is a certified vinyasa, prenatal, postnatal, breathwork, and meditation yoga teacher with over 700 hours of training. She discovered yoga at a young age during her time as a competitive figure skater. The practice provided her with a deeper mind, body, and spirit connection, but most importantly, she always felt at home with herself when on the mat. Yoga made her feel safe, strong, and empowered. She began teaching in 2017 with the goal of helping others discover more about themselves through yoga and wellness. Liz draws on her 17-year experience as a competitive athlete and hundreds of hours of teacher training to offer her students intentional alignment-based yoga for mobility, injury prevention, pain management, and self-discovery. Alongside her passion for yoga, Liz has a tenacious love for travel and adventure. She is not one to shy away from a new challenge, has lived all over the world, and enjoys experiencing new cultures through exploration and discovery. Through yoga, travel, and adventure, she hopes to inspire others to find more confidence, love, and appreciation for themselves. Private sessions for deeper yoga connection are available upon request during free time.
