The philosophy Liza brings to her classes, retreats, workshops, and coaching is best expressed by her daily mantra, “live light, because everything is already okay.” She has found that these few words have the power to calm and clarify her mind. By experiencing life through the lens of this daily mantra, Liza is able to share this wisdom and help others achieve their brightest and fullest desires.
As a 500 HR Registered Yoga Teacher trained at YogaWorks and a certified Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist, Liza has gained a wide range of knowledge from her teachers and continues to see herself as both student and teacher as she believes there is always more to learn. Liza’s approach to teaching yoga benefits from the powerful combination of yoga and psychology. She is intrigued by the intersection of eastern and western thought and through yoga psychology her classes provide a platform for yogis and students to find clarity on the mat that translates into day-to-day life.
