take your time move to meditate
In the studio or community space.
Please join me for class in person!
My classes feel like a mini self-retreat inward — to slow down & move with love.
You can expect to practice yoga asana, intentional breath work and feel energetically restored with the intent to cultivate an open connection to the self and greater awareness of the body.
You may observe a compassionate re-balance between you and your experiences, relationships and systems in our world.

Elizabeth effortlessly transforms the rawness of being human into a beautiful flow that leaves you with a sense of fullness. I love that the class is so personal, I’ve never felt so comfortable going at my own pace and listening to my own body.

I am so inspired by Liz and her practice of Awakening Yoga. This is my favorite class I’ve been to at PYC. I can’t wait to keep learning from her!
Jillian
Liz’s class is such a breath of fresh air! She is an experiences teacher with a deep knowledge of anatomy and sequencing. It is difficult to find a teacher like this so I highly recommend taking her class!
Bella
Liz provides a calming and relaxing environment while simultaneously pushing your body to limits you didn’t know existed. Her breath work is so incredibly grounding and her presence is kind, motivating and inviting. I feel reset for success every time I leave this class and look forward to it every time I book!

Awesome times a million. Really enjoy the fun sequences Liz comes up with. She is great at explaining cues and positions. She also has an amazing overall practice and she made me feel welcome to share in that practice.
