"I have studied under Liz for one year and have been impressed with her knowledge, relaxed, but firm, teaching style and her joyfullness. With 10 years of a regular yoga practice under my belt, I'm rather choosey about my yoga instructors and Liz never disappoints - I look forward to her classes and appreciate the way she can challenge you or listen to her class and perhaps make the class more mellow. She reads her students needs which is a rare find and adjusts as necessary. After writing this, I think I'll head to her yoga class. Enjoy." ~Jerrol G.

"Thank you so much for the tweeks, nudges, and twists that help me be better. Your light and devotion touches us all." ~Ron

"I started taking classes from Liz at Yogi Way, and after the studio closed, directly from her at a rented space at The Palace in Fremont. Liz is a wonderful teacher. She mostly teaches vinyasa in the Universal Yoga style which means that you will move around a lot, get a good workout, and learn something new in every class. She managed to teach me some fairly advanced poses, especially interesting variants of inversions, that I would have never tackled without her. Liz pays a lot of individual attention, and it does show in her students' progress. I am looking forward to my next classes with Liz!" ~Bernhard W.

"Liz makes me feel like a lady of leisure with my own personal trainer." ~Shelley

"Thank you so much for being the most amazing yoga teacher ever!! I can't even begin to tell you how lucky I feel to be your student. This year of yoga with you at the Palace has truly been an incredible experience for me. I have complete respect and admiration for you and think you're really funny too." ~Mary Kay V.

"Liz is an inspiring, fun, and spirited teacher!" ~Deb

"Liz brings a certain authenticity to her practice and it is evident that yoga is a major part of her. I no longer view yoga as just a "good stretch and a nice workout". I have come to realize that in order to receive the full benefit of yoga, I must embrace its philosophy and let it nurture me, my mind, body and spirit. Liz has a very special gift and a vast knowledge of the practice. I, like many of her students, are very fortunate that she is here to teach us and share that knowledge with us. Thanks to Liz, I will be a yoga student forever." ~May

"Thank you for a fun class for both parents and kids! We will be back!" ~Becky

"Liz, thank you for making this class so fun." ~Hannah, age 9

"A little over a year ago I had to undergo an emergency lower lumbar surgery for a blown disk. A month into my recovery the same disk re-ruptured and I had to have a second surgery and begin the recovery process all over again, this time facing many more challenges. Previous to this I had been an active athlete and had a wide range of flexibility. In the months of recovery post surgery I was able to make great strides in regaining a healthy physical fitness level, but still struggled to regain flexibility and core strength, especially with limitations I still had to manage with my lower back. Once I was given the green light to begin yoga classes I began attending a yoga class, which brought me to Liz. Right away she was very sensitive to my situation and offered me positions that enabled me to participate at a level comfortable and appropriate for my condition. As weeks went on we talked and she offered me more things to try, ways I could alter positions for my needs, and slowly an amazing thing happen....then like a light switch one day my body let down its guard and my flexibility began to return! Gaining the core strength to support my back and the overall feeling of improvement and strength within my body has been such an amazing experience! Liz has such a great deal to offer and I feel incredibly grateful that our paths crossed, I know that I would not be as far along today if I had not had these months of yoga instruction, guidance, and insight from her to spring from!" ~Mindy G.

"I had practiced yoga for many years but after I broke my neck, I swore I would never do headstands again. I confided in Liz about this and over the course of time Liz was able to build my confidence and support me in my practice until I was mentally able to do a headstand. The feeling of going into one was exhilarating and liberating. I would not have been able to do this without Liz. There is something so caring, genuine, and real about her that let me know she was there for me no matter what even though I was struggling with my own fears. I have learned so much from Liz not just about yoga, but about myself and life. She is a truly gifted teacher. I really could write a book about you! Thank you." ~Laura

"Seems like I'm thanking you every other week! I am so appreciative of you and what you're doing for all of us!" ~Lisa

"Having my kindergarten-aged son in yoga has been a great experience. My son is shy, anxious about new situations and has previously been identified as having poor motor planning and other physical challenges. I was initially worried he might find yoga frustrating or difficult due to these limitations but instead it has been both a fun and opening experience that has boosted his confidence in his physical body and his listening and social skills. Whenever someone mentions the word "yoga" (in the street, at a restaurant, etc.) he happily takes the opportunity to explain he knows yoga and demonstrate a downward dog right then and there. With Liz as a teacher, yoga is playful and fun never constraining or judgmental. I had the opportunity to observe class once and was struck by Liz's "roll with it" attitude that magically accepted and transitioned kid restlessness and silliness into yoga poses and imaginary play. Graham has a great deal of separation anxiety so I believe it is a testament to Liz's established comfort level with kids and that he not only will attend class alone but *relishes* doing so." ~Leslie E. Phillips, mother of Graham (age 5)

"Thank you for your patience, guidance, and inspiration in yoga class." ~Colleen

"...I fell in love with your passion of yoga and the way you look at it like a prayer. Spirituality is such an important part of my life and being able to focus my energy like that was an amazing discovery for me. This really was a life changing experience and I am so excited to continue the practice of yoga throughout my life." ~Lauren

"Liz is the best yoga teacher EVER!" ~Liz's Mom
