Raised on Long Island's north shore, Liz studied theater and filmmaking in school. Her short films have been broadcast internationally and shown at festivals, including Sundance. A student of Zen with a 25-year practice, Liz first fell in love with the rigorous Hatha Yoga sequence created by Shri Swami Bua-ji. But it wasn't until she discovered Jivamukti Yoga®, with its perfect marriage of Hatha practice and Self-inquiry, that she found her real h'OM. Liz is now an Advanced Certified Jivamukti teacher. She offers vigorous vinyasa classes that leave the body sweaty and the mind free. Grounding the teachings in practical insights and humor, she seeks to challenge students to realize their true jivanmukta potential, to come together to heal the disease of disconnect, to be Mother Earth's spiritual warriors. Liz offers deep pranam to her guru, Tripura Sundari and Deva Das, as well as to the global Jivamukti satsangha!
Program description: A satsangha, literally, a community connected (angha) by Truth (sat) is best cultivated through the practice of Jivamukti Yoga's Five Tenets: Scripture, Ahimsa, Meditation, Nada Yoga and Bhakti. It's not enough to practice Tenet in isolation, or just personally. It's when we come together and institute the Tenets as a community that their true transformative power is revealed. Please join Patrick Broome,Cat Alip-Douglas, Antje (Amba), anja.kuehnel Anna Ferguson, Giselle Mari, Ganesh Das and Liz Roberts for a panel discussion and Q&A focused on actual "what works" case studies from existing Jivamukti Yoga communities!
