LIZ WORKMAN

Liz received her Masters at Columbia for Human Rights
and has been an educator for ten years. She also has
certification in health counseling, yoga, and Reiki.  
While teaching high school History in the inner city of
New York, she began leading yoga classes after school.  
Somewhat surprisingly, it was the only highly attended
after-school program. Yoga helped her students overcome
emotional obstacles and fall in love with love with their lives
again. Thus motivated, she received certification from
Laughing Lotus yoga studio in New York City. Since receiving
her certification, Liz has taught yoga in New York, Nashville,
and Costa Rica. Her yoga classes encourage students to find
their own practice by helping them understand the body’s potential
and uncovering the unique rhythm of their own breathe. Her goal
is to bring yoga, nutrition, and wellness to everyone. She has
developed various workshops such as prenatal, capoeira fusion,
and creative writing and yoga fusion workshops.  She believes
through movement and nutrition that people of all backgrounds
and ages can lead healthier and happier lives.
