Yoga & Meditation~ Classes & Retreats



​"There is no need for temples. No need for complicated
philosophy. Our own body, our own heart is our temple.
The philosophy is kindness."
Dalai Lama

"Elizabeth is awesome!.... she has great energy. Her classes are challenging and the pace is perfect.  I'm actually more limber than I was in high school and my lower back is happy again."  Mark W.

 
"Elizabeth's class creates a perfect balance for me between spiritual re-centering, physical challenge, and mental awareness throughout.  I always leave the class in a renewed state; far better off than when I arrived." Jenna P.

​ The Sunday evening class I teach at the Embrace Yoga is a mindful, slow class.  We progress through a gentle warm up with rhythmic movements to open the spine and major joints of the body.  There will be plenty of time to also relax in Yin and Restorative poses which work on the deeper layers of connective tissue and postural re-balancing.  This style of yoga practice fosters complete relaxation, rejuvenation of the nervous system, and mental and emotional peace.  Come prepared to slow down and cultivate awareness of your body as well as the subtlety of your breath in this serene studio/temple space. After one hour of yoga, we rest on our backs to integrate, and then transition to a 10 minute seated meditation with guidance..
Beginners, seniors, those with injuries, or anyone who needs to decompress are welcome!

Come surrender Monday evenings through Metta Yoga in a slow, deep, and meditative practice. To unwind the body, we will linger in yin and restorative poses while flowing through gentle movement sequences in between to release and let go. Riding the wave of breath, the nervous system will unwind and you'll leave feeling spacious in body and mind. This mindful class is open to all levels of experience and modifications will be offered.

The Tuesday evening Mindful Flow class I teach at Embrace Yoga is more active than the Sunday evening class. This class is focused on flowing through a slow Vinyasa practice with attention to alignment and breath. We will activate our prana, or energy, with strengthening sequences, as well as standing and balancing poses. As the more active practice winds down, we then melt into a quieter, more internal space toward the end of class. After one hour of yoga, we rest on our backs to integrate, and then transition to a 10 minute seated meditation with guidance. Open to all levels of experience. Modifications given for those with limitations. 

I teach a conscious birth prep workshop at Pomegranate Center approximately every 6 weeks called Prenatal Partners.  This 3 hour class is a special time to come together with your primary support person and join as a team with a shared vision and intention.  We go over positioning, coping techniques, acupressure, massage, and other natural methods of meeting labor.  
Check Pomegranate's website under workshops for more detailed information.
​I also teach this class privately upon request.

​​
My next online 2021 Prenatal Partners workshops through Pomegranate Center are from 2-5pm:
~ January 23rd 
~ March 6th
~ April 17th
​~ May 5th

​

​I also teach private yoga & meditation sessions for those who want a more in-depth approach to their practice.  Those with limitations either from injury or illness are encouraged to come to a private class to address proper ways of modifying poses to prevent confusion or strain.  Even if you have a strong and alive practice and have been taking classes for many years, a private session can be the perfect motivation needed to take your practice to the next level and make sure you aren't furthering certain habits.  Also, those who are new to yoga are especially advised to schedule a private yoga session so that the fundamentals of proper alignment can be learned from the very beginning.
