Liza DiGaetano, E-RYT 500, has been teaching yoga since 2003. Liza is currently a member of Tripsichore Yoga Theatre (www.tripsichore.com), an international performance company that is known as the "Cirque de Soleil" of yoga. She has studied a variety of yoga styles through which she derived her own creative approach to Power Vinyasa.

Liza's classes place a large emphasis on powerful, evenly metered ujjai breathing that creates seamless, interconnected movement. The combination of proper ujjai breathing and creative, gymnastic, Ashtanga-based vinyasas make Liza's classes invigorating and fun for a wide range of students. She believes that through the breath, we can gain a heightened level of awareness that brings peace and tranquility. If we breathe correctly, we are able to execute poses that otherwise would seem impossibly difficult. When that moment occurs we free ourselves from the limitations the mind imposes upon the bodies physical abilities. This liberation brings us closer to our own true nature which is self accepting, gracious and blissful. 

Liza has had the opportunity to study with great teachers including Tim Miller, Jimmy Barkan, and Dharma Mittra among many others. Her most influential teacher is Edward Clark, founder of Tripsichore Yoga Theatre. A master yogi, artist and innovator, Edward has created the most powerful, creative and challenging vinyasa variations even seen.

Liza runs a small studio out of her home, Kalya Yoga, where she teaches highly advanced Power Vinyasa classes to a select group of students. She also frequents back and forth to London to study with her teacher, Edward Clark. To learn more about Liza visit www.kalyayoga.com.
