Elizabeth Crozier
Teacher, Owner & Director
Teaching yoga for over a decade has been a natural extension of a deep need to be immersed in her inner world. Elizabeth began an exploration of consciousness through movement and introspection at a young age. During her upbringing, she had no experience of formal academic study, and instead was steeped in dance education, learning academics primarily on her own. She learned some asanas as a teenager which further fed her desire for experiential learning and expression creative expression. Later earning her way into university studies, she began a variety of daily yoga practices while completing her undergraduate degree.
In 2011, Elizabeth began studying daily with David Garrigues, and apprenticed him for 7 years, during which time she learned the first through half of the Advanced B series. She has since continued study with Eddie Stern, among other mentors, supports and teachers. Her daily sadhana includes many methods of devotion and yogic studies.
Elizabeth empowers students to connect to their bodies, breath, cultivate their interior world, and sense of expression. She shares the practice from a place of authenticity and clear perception, and works with students of all ages and abilities. Elizabeth teaches through a whole person approach, allowing space for ones individual experience, while supporting and inspiring students to cultivate their practice in the way that’s right for them.

Lydia Hurley
Assistant Teacher
Lydia began practicing yoga as a teenager to release muscle tension and increase mental focus and peace of mind. As she began studying more deeply she evolved her practice to be based more and more on Patanjali’s teachings and other shastra texts. While she began her asana practice in yin yoga and Sivananda based vinyasa classes she eventually tried Ashtanga yoga and, once she experienced the primary series, she loved that she was challenged to confront her weaknesses. The self-growth that comes with those challenges made her interested in continuing that practice. She is passionate about the results of having a repetitive daily practice such as Ashtanga Vinyasa and how it allows us to observe patterns of thoughts and behavior more closely. Studying the nuances of postures is one of the aspects of asana that interests her.
Lydia had been interested in studying the Vedas for a while when she stumbled upon Shantala Sriramaiah’s Veda Studies. In 2021 she took her first class and loved it, taking as many classes as she could. She began teacher training with Shantala in 2024.
