Liz Gawel
Liz first came to yoga over a decade ago after a friend suggested that it might help her chill out while also making her sweat, an intoxicating combination that had alluded her after many hours at the gym. After a few classes, she found the right fit and it's been a sweet relationship ever since. During this time, Liz has explored many different styles of yoga, but spent most of her time practicing Ashtanga-influenced vinyasa flow and then, after sustaining several yoga-related injuries, found her way to the precisely-aligned Anusara yoga. Liz studied closely under Karen Lane, a Las Vegas-based Anusara teacher, for several years and has nearly 200 hours of training in that method. Liz recently finished the Yoga Works 200-hour Teacher Training with the inspiring Natasha Rizopoulos, and has had the opportunity to study with some amazing teachers, including Ross Rayburn, Desiree Rumbaugh, Naime Jezzeny, Tzahi Moskovitz, Elena Brower, and Para Yoga teacher Sasha Larkin. Liz is a mother of two kids, two dogs, and two cats, who remind her every day that our yoga practice is not about what fancy poses we can do on our mats, but instead how we live our lives out in the real world. Aside from yoga and parenting, Liz is a nationally licensed massage therapist, a sometimes resident of Martha's Vineyard, and she aspires to someday be a more-than- decent cook.
