Yoga, Pilates and exercise has changed my life for the better. Now I help others improve their lives with such modalities.
As well as mentor yoga teachers.
My approach is trauma-aware, designed to help you feel supported in your body. Not pushed beyond it.
I specialise in working with:
Beginners who feel intimidated by movement.
People practising yoga at home who haven’t got the option of attending regular classes.
People navigating injury, chronic pain, or complex needs.
Those seeking yoga for mental health and nervous system regulation
Yoga teachers who need to build confidence, find their voice, cater to students mental health. And teach yoga functionally by understanding anatomy, rather than memorising universal alignment cue.
Rather than following a one-size-fits-all method, I focus on meeting you where you are. Helping you rebuild strength, confidence, and trust in your body at your own pace.
This is not about perfection or performance.
It’s about creating a space where you can feel supported and understood.
how you can work with me
yoga therapy in Canberra and online
As a registered Yoga Therapist and Senior Yoga Teacher, I offer private yoga therapy for people looking for an individualised, complementary approach to support their wellbeing while navigating injury, illness or other health challenges.
Rather than giving you a generic sequence, we'll look at youyour needs, goals, circumstances and what is realistically sustainable in your life.
Together, we can develop a therapeutic yoga plan designed around the individual rather than forcing the individual into the practice.
Sessions are available online via live zoom sessions and the Thinkific platform.
online yoga teacher mentoring
I mentor yoga teacher trainees and established teachers who want to develop greater confidence and depth in their teaching.
My mentoring explores areas including mental-health awareness, sequencing, functional approaches to alignment and moving beyond memorised universal cues.
Most importantly, I want teachers to discover their own voice rather than becoming a copy of somebody else's.mentor yoga teacher trainees and established teachers who want to develop greater confidence and depth in their teaching.

their words, not mine
“Liz’s teaching is invitational and informed. Her thirst for knowledge is second to none, and has allowed her to grow into a highly regarded teacher. Her way is to guide students with an assured sense of the care and knowledge. She understands the nuances of teaching to a broad audience, and imparts information in every exchange that occurs. Exploring for the first time within the practice of yoga, or coming from an experienced background, you will benefit from Liz’s knowledge and encouragement to discover what will bring the best outcome for you and your body.”

“When you finish one of Liz's classes, you are in a state of yoga bliss. Liz has incredible knowledge and weaves this with her love of yoga to create an amazing restorative environment for yoga and for magic to happen.
