“Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.”

BKS Iyengar (1918 – 2014)

Yoga Therapy

As a Certified Yoga Therapist, I employ the tools of yoga – postures, breath-work, mindfulness and meditation specific to the needs of each individual. With a background in the precise alignment principles of Iyengar methodology, and somatic movement techniques from modern dance, I specialize in correcting poor postural habits that negatively effect the spine, addressing a range of injuries (acute and chronic), scoliosis and pelvic asymmetry, arthritis, other chronic inflammatory conditions, and auto-immune diseases. Yoga therapy can be a great option for adapting your yoga practice post-injury, as well as a great complement to physical therapy and chiropractic care.

“LizziDee worked with me to address a lingering injury. Her yoga therapy was skillful and kind and made a huge difference in my recovery and mobility. She provided me with printed directions so I could continue my recovery after our time was done. Whenever I have a flair-up, I revisit our work together and get relief. I’m so grateful to her. Also, she’s one of the best, most creative and insightful yoga teachers I’ve ever had the good fortune to sit on a mat in front of.”

Group Classes

In my group yoga classes we learn to master the breath, we calm the nervous system with gentle somatic movement, we create length and space through precision in body alignment, and we create awareness and stability through isometric actions within each asana (pose), exploring variation and modification with the use of props, providing every body access to the therapeutic benefits of the practice.

“Thank you for all that you have done to keep [us] safe and healthy through your wonderful online yoga classes. Hope to see you in person at some point… I want people to know that you are such a talented and knowledgeable ‘alignment style’ Yoga teacher and I wish more people…in the ‘aging positively’ category…but also of all ages…knew about your Yoga classes… how helpful this style of yoga is, and the calm, kind, knowledgeable and positive manner you teach this style, which prevents injuries and promotes a healthy body no matter one’s age…Grateful to you over the last decade or so and look forward to continuing to work with you. You are a very skilled and talented Yoga teacher. I have always thought so!!”

“Bring A Friend On Your Pass” Program

As we work to rebuild our yoga community post-Covid, I will continue to extend an invitation for you to bring a friend in for their first class on your pass! We all know someone who needs yoga, but who might also be hesitant to try it on their own. When you invite a friend, please have them pre-register for class under their name (or help them with that step if necessary) but have them hold off on paying the single class price. Just let me know when you come to class that you intend to share a class on your pass with your friend.

Important Message Regarding Class Pricing

As of November 2, 2022 my single class and class pass rates increased to $18 drop-in, $80 5-class pass, and $150 10-class pass. I will always be willing to offer a discount pricing option to students whose participation would be negatively affected by the cost. Payments made online will automatically go through at the set rates. Reduced rates will only be available if requested.

Students can purchase single, 5-class and 10-class passes, register for classes, and message me directly all on this site (explore Menu above). All passes can be used for any of my group classes, in-person at any location, or live-stream.
