Lizaan Joubert

Yoga Teacher

Known as Lizi to her students and the yoga community, you will meet her as a practitioner. Teaching Yoga is part of her belief that the practice rests in the heart of being a Student to life, and that everyone is your teacher.
​
Her work as a practitioner and facilitator is inspired by her own life path being a traveler and experiences living many lives. She grew up on a farm during the apartheid area in South Africa with unconventional parents, played college tennis in the US, and furthered her love for humans and food in hospitality during her 20’s. She began a deep path of inquiry when she took a sabbatical turning 30. Moving to London, she travelled extensively for two years, and she was introduced to the Patanjali System living in Thailand through practices of Ashtanga Vinyasa she stumbled upon.
​
She is (E-500RYT) teacher and her teachings over the last 9 years come from her passion to learn from her teachers annually and sharing with her students during intimate weeks in Retreat and classes she now teaches live and online around the world.
​
Liz brings a unique perspective to the definition and practices of yoga. She is honest about her philosophy that Yoga is not about making pretty shapes. She offers powerful and insightful classes that hold deep ritual with intention, in sequencing and balancing the body through the postures, breathwork and meditation.
​
Classes are physically and energetically taught with equal motivation to empower students to grow in personal flexibility and strength guiding each level and layer to each student’s ability.
​
She approaches physical anatomy and postures from a functional approach to Yoga. Yoga postures are taught as medicine, being a way of insight and ritual to balance and harmonize energy levels and awareness.

Liz believes it’s a personal path of self awareness and growth. Longevity in the way you practice, and progress in what you can accomplish each day, on the mat and off the mat. Whether you are in the beginning, or growing deeper into the teachings, Yoga allows every practitioner a place of contemplation and exploration.
