"Practice to rejuvenate
"Mind, Body and Spirit"

How are you managing today?

I hope that you are thriving in Body, Mind & Spirit.

Balancing all is sometimes tough, but if you can attain this "balance" then you likely will have better immune efficiency, resiliency, and an overall feeling of well-being. Yoga offers this on many levels.

You don't need to be an experienced yogi to start a class........ you only need to start!

I am known in the community for a compassionate approach and for adapting classes to meet individual needs.
This deeper, and more accessible way of practicing yoga, creates ease in your body, greater resilience, emotional flexibility, and health.
Crystal Spirit's yoga studio and outdoor garden provide a supportive and welcoming space, where students of all ages and physical abilities can come unwind and explore the healing benefits of somatic Kriya Yoga.

Understanding Yoga

KRIYA YOGA

Kriya is a system that deals directly with the mind, its structure, and dynamics. Embodied within it is mystical psychology that offers a profound recognition of how we create, sustain, and dissolve the circumstances of our life.

"The subtle body floats in all of us". We have all experienced it after a pose..... if we give ourselves time to feel that calming energy, maybe a tingle, or maybe heat. Assessing this subtle somatic energy allows an awakening to happen, an experience of transformation of Consciousness that enriches one's life on every level.

PRANAYAMA

Breathe is the base of all meditative practices, to root ourselves in the breath brings on the transformation from outer (mind-based, material distraction, worry, etc.), to the inner witness. The one which is watching, the one which can teach, the one which holds the wisdom. Take the step forward - into the journey and witness the destiny of breath awareness.

TESTIMONIALS

“I was in a car accident and the sustained injuries to my central nervous system caused pain and limited movement. I was not able to partake in my usual yoga class. I learned of Elizabeth's restorative yoga class and decided to give it a try knowing that yoga practice heals. I learned very quickly that Elizabeth was a very knowledgeable yoga teacher whom I could trust. I found that within the group class Elizabeth intuitively works with each person individually. Elizabeth has eyes at the back of her head! Each class works on the whole person, mind, body and spirit. But it was Elizabeth's most beautiful loving spirit that impacted me the most. I had found a place to heal. With so much gratitude." ~ Margaret

"My massage therapist noticed a dramatic improvement of my spine. I was told (in the past) that I have a curvature in my spine, which often causes complications. Now, there is a dramatic improvement and I can thank my yoga practice for that.” ~ R

"Between the Restor and Aqua yoga sessions my knees no longer bother me as badly as they have in the past. My range of motion and muscular health are vastly improved and I no longer feel like my shoulders are up around my ears! Liz is always attentive and helpful when we are trying to reach our potential for poses and she is very intuitive when it comes to knowing what we need and how we feel. I sincerely feel that my quality of life has improved and although stress is always part of our lives, I now have the tools I need to manage it! "~ Melissa G.
