What People Have To Say
"No matter how much else I have on my mind, Liza's teaching always transports me to the present moment in the best possible way. Her deep knowledge of asana and anatomy means that even the most demanding power classes are mindful of proper form and alignment. And whether her weekly playlist features Lady Gaga or John Lennon, she never fails to make class fun and novel. My favorite part of Liza's teaching, though, is the warmth and openness she brings to every class. Some studios and some teachers make yoga practice feel like a competition. With Liza, class is like a party where everyone is welcome."

Having lived all over the world and been a student of hundreds of instructors, she ranks with my top favorite. I am sure you won't be disappointed."
"Liza always says that she is "not your typical yoga teacher," and this is what I love about her. Whether it's a power class or vinyasa flow, she has you constantly moving and using the whole mat while doing fun and interesting sequences.
