She received her Teacher Training from The Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica.
She views yoga as an inquiry into the “Self” that begins when you come to the questions of
meaning and purpose in your life. Liz is known for her vigorous, powerful vinyasa classes. Flows that build up heat from within with a strong emphasis on core, strength building poses, and advanced asanas. Power and Level II/III yoga classes inspired her early on as a way to quiet the monkey mind through exertion, difficult and new postures, and meditation in movement. Fun, lighthearted, and physically demanding, yet spiritually encompassing the witness consciousness part of our multidimensional self as a gateway to happiness, contentment and peace. Liz has been inspired by teachers such as Christina Sell, Dylan Werner and Sadie Nardini.


Liz also has her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Boise State University and loves to paint
things as diverse and free as her yoga practice is. Some of her other hobbies include lap
swimming and cycling, which in turn brings an awareness of the benefits of yoga for the athlete.
