Elizabeth has been teaching yoga since 2007. She completed her teacher training with Vidya Heisel at Frog Lotus Yoga in North Adams, MA, and is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with the Yoga Alliance and a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP).
Elizabeth first stepped onto the yoga mat after moving on from 16 years as a classical ballet dancer.
"Where ballet taught me to go inward and connect my mind and body, yoga taught me how to trust the innate wisdom of my body."
Elizabeth's teaching style is still very much informed by her years as a dancer. Her classes are a fluid blend of asana, pranayama, music, movement, spirituality, and somatic awareness.
Elizabeth encourages her students to tune into their intuition and what their body is communicating and do what feels right moment by moment.
Elizabeth views yoga as a practice of decolonization—a journey toward independence of the Self, and liberation from systems that have sought to control our bodies, minds, and spirits. The practice encourages us to disconnect from all the voices telling us what to do, when, and how and reconnect with our inner wisdom. Yoga offers an alternate path, a path in which everyone has the opportunity to practice existing peacefully, mindfully, and openly with ourselves and with others.
