Philosophy
Liz Ragland believes that a yoga practice should be joyful, useful, and transformative. She offers a relatable, practical interpretation of traditional practice, infusing the physical with imagination and metaphor.
Liz’s core teaching values are inclusion, body neutrality, and respecting students’ agency over their own bodies and experiences.
Expect class to be dynamic, challenging, and imaginative while still accessible to all levels of practitioner.
