Lizzie is a yoga teacher & the owner of Planted Yoga Rugs, based in Brighton, UK. She has been practicing yoga since 2012 and is qualified to teach Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow, and Rocket Yoga. Lizzie is currently training towards her 500hr qualification having already completed a 100hr apprenticeship and an advanced yoga philosophy module with Yoga London. Her classes are influenced from her dance and gymnastics background, and are typically playful and strength based with plenty of flow and soul. Lizzie is interested in navigating the mat creatively, designing interesting sequences that allow her students to find a moving meditation, linking breath and movement.

Lizzie’s intention is to guide her students through an energetic physical practice, so they can discover more stillness in the mind during mediation and savasana. Yoga has been an important pillar for her mental health and wellbeing, so she aims to create the same experience for her students. She says that if you feel compelled to follow the somewhat mysterious path of yoga, she is confident you won’t regret it.
