About Your Instructor
Liz Wyatt, BA, BEd, E-RYT Gold
My yoga journey began in 1993, and since 2000, I've had the honor of guiding others on their own path. My teaching has been deeply influenced by Kristine Weber's Subtle Yoga method, which I've been studying since 2020. It's also a joy to mentor other yoga teachers, a role I've been in since 2005. I truly believe that yoga is for everyone, and it's my passion to help you discover what this practice can do for you.
When you step into my class, you'll find a space that is inclusive and accessible. We're not focused on strong, physical exercise; instead, we'll explore what I like to call "innercise"—a practice rooted in the yoga tradition and informed by modern neuroscience. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and provide a calm, encouraging environment where you feel empowered to reach your own goals.
Core Principles of Slow and Mindful Yoga
Breath Awareness
Breathwork is the foundation. You'll use deep, slow breaths to guide your movements and learn a variety of techniques to gently raise energy or to calm down.
Postures/Poses
The poses are simple, practised slowly, and often layered with effective, fun variations. We move in and out of every pose and then stay for a short time. Make every pose your own. Achieving "the perfect pose" is not a consideration.
Mindfulness
You are encouraged to pay attention to your body's sensations and the flow of your breath in moment to moment awareness to avoid rushing.
Pausing
"The pause is as important as the pose." Throughout the class we'll pause our movement and relax for a few breaths in a restorative pose to reflect on our experience.
