About me

I’m Lizzie and when I first did yoga I hated it.

At the first class I went to, I was the biggest person there by an absolute mile, and even though it was a beginner’s class everyone could touch their toes and I got nowhere near. The teacher didn’t know what to do with me or how to make the postures work. It made me feel out of place and uncomfortable in my own skin.

That feeling is what drove me to become a yoga teacher. I sought out a training course that focussed on making yoga for everyone, and for adapting the postures to suit all bodies.

My classes are strong, yet gentle; playful, yet restful. I encourage anyone who practices with me to help find presence in a busy world, and with curiosity and awareness, develop a closer understanding of how to tend to their needs to help make life more joyful.

Yoga with Lizzie is by far my favourite time of the week. The classes are warm and welcoming, they are inclusive for all abilities, and tiered pricing makes them accessible for all budgets. I have been to pregnancy yoga, park yoga and a rest and relaxation evening event and loved every one. Even in a group setting, Lizzie will strive to tailor your workout to what you need as an individual. She is kind, genuine and relatable and I’m so glad I’ve found her classes.

What you’ll get from my classes

  • A practice that works for you. I’ll never suggest that a pose needs to look in a certain way. I’ll encourage you to explore how a pose feels in your body, and work within your body’s range of movement. I use lots and lots of props so feel free to bring along your favourite cushion or block or whatever you like to use as well.
  • A way to connect to your body. So much of the time in this world we’re very disconnected from what’s going on in our bodies. Yoga as a practice can help us to get back in touch and nourish ourselves.
  • Inclusivity. Everyone is different, but everyone can do yoga. Whether you have an injury or condition, or you just haven’t done yoga before, I’d love to support you to start a practice that can support you throughout your life.
  • Teaching based on evidence, safety and compassion. I’m fully trained and always learning. I’m fascinated by how the body works, how the nervous system works, how breath works. My teaching is always grounded in what is safe and what works for you, without any judgment.
  • But it’s not serious. Yoga and movement practices for me are a chance to explore my body and connect with myself, but also do fun new postures and fall over. Often in classes there’ll be time to have a play, see what happens and probably wobble or fall over a bit.

Lizzie’s Yoga classes have been absolutely amazing. From the welcome email, to meeting me at the door, Lizzie instantly put me at ease. Lizzie has such a calming, positive vibe, that encourages us all to practice to our own individual abilities. The classes have had such a positive impact on helping me to relax, use breathing techniques in my day to day busy life. I would absolutely recommend Lizzie’s Yoga class.
