Hello hello!
I'm Liz, a CYT-500 certified yoga teacher specialising in Hatha and Restorative yoga styles. I'm currently continuing my training in strength and conditioning in yoga, and in menopause yoga. Originally from Portland, Oregon, USA, I now live and teach in West Kent.
I've practised yoga since taking my first class in London in 1996 and I began teaching in 2021. Over the years I've explored a range of yoga styles but was always drawn most to the flowy energy of Vinyasa. About ten years ago, lower back pain forced me to find a slower and more mindful way to practise, and I started to work with alignment-focused Hatha and Restorative. Restorative yoga uses a lot of props—blankets, bolsters, blocks, straps—to support the body in longer-held postures. I found it relaxed my nervous system in a way I didn't even know I needed, and it gave me a deeper sense of rest and self-connection than I'd ever felt.
That's exactly what I'm sharing with my students as I teach a blend of both styles, with a focus on body alignment to avoid injury and get the most out of each pose. My classes are fun and creatively designed to help my students build strength and flexibility to do things they never thought they could. At the end of each class we relax with restorative postures, so everyone leaves feeling calm and revitalised.
Please get in touch if you have any questions about my classes. Wherever you're starting from, I'd love to see you on the mat.
