Spontaneous Shift
Eight private sessions.

This dose of yoga shifts long standing patterns. Build trust, honor your story, and understand complexity.

  • Work at your body’s pace.

  • Get to places that are really stuck.

  • Change habits.

  • Support over time rather than a pleasant, but short lived experience.

  • "I now know how to use my years of studying yoga so that I feel better, move better, and have greater peace of mind. For example, I always knew my ankles and core were weak, but it wasn't until Dr. Liz put the two together in a class on balance that I understood how much better my balance is by doing a couple of simple strengthening postures. At any age this kind of information is invaluable but especially for those of us experiencing the "well seasoned" years."

Private sessions

Dr. Liz, a white non binary person with a shaved head, sits smiling brightly at the camera. They are wearing a collared jeans shirt, have their hands crossed in their lap, and are outside in a lush green garden.

I offer eight private sessions in a package called Spontaneous Shift. It’s my best guess, based on science and experience, as to the dose of yoga that shifts long standing patterns. It gives me time to earn your trust. I never just ask for it.

When I don’t know, I say so. I love working with other healthcare professionals. I refer promptly when needed. You'll have my expertise, listening ear, and heart supporting you. Connect to your own wisdom, try new things, and heal.

Long experience taught me to trust my students’ bodies. I take what you know and experience seriously.
