About me
Liz Campbell | E-RYT 500 Certified
Hi, I’m Liz. I’m a yoga educator who has been teaching since 2012, working with students in studios, retreats, and one-on-one settings. My classes combine mindful movement, breath, and stillness, with an emphasis on practices that support presence, freedom, and vitality in everyday life.
Over the years, I’ve taught across Southern California, co-led retreats and teacher trainings, and developed specialized offerings rooted in yoga philosophy, asana practice, and energy regulation. My background includes 200- and 300-hour certifications, advanced training in Bali and Kauaʻi, and continued study in pranayama, Sanskrit, and trauma-informed education.
In addition to in-person teaching, I create written and audio resources for students who want to explore the ancient yogic teachings in a more self-directed way. These offerings reflect the same intention I bring to my classes: simple, grounded practices that can be returned to over time and integrated into real life.
At the heart of my work is a respect for yoga as a lived practice—one that evolves with experience and meets people where they are, whether on the mat or beyond it.
My specialties
Vinyasa Flow
Energizing • Dynamic • Active
Vinyasa was my first love on my yoga path, and it’s still one of my favorite classes to teach and practice. What I enjoy most about vinyasa is its variations of postures, how they harmoniously flow together, and how good it feels to move dynamically and mindfully.
Prānāyāma
Cleansing • Tranquil • Balancing
Pranayama enhances mental clarity, reduces stress, and improves respiratory function. These are just a few of the positive effects that pranayama has to offer, and they are noticeable within minutes. I love watching how quickly the energy shifts in my students when we practice Pranayama, I think it’s something everyone would greatly benefit from.
Restorative Yoga
Grounding • Relaxing • Passive
Restorative yoga is a wonderful compliment to life as it focuses on deep relaxation, making it very accessible for anybody. It is one of my favorite yoga practices because it creates more mental and physical spaciousness, calms the nervous system, and enhances overall well-being.
Why I teach
Within the first ten years of my teaching career, life presented many unexpected opportunities, from leading retreats and facilitating classes in some of the most beautiful places in the world to co-founding the yoga studio I once dreamed of.
Throughout my experience, I’ve found the most meaningful part about what I do is being able to witness how yoga greatly improves the quality of life. Watching my students grow stronger, healthier, and more regulated through this practice will always be what fulfills me most.
Yoga may have started as a personal obsession in my early twenties to feel better in my body, build confidence, and find inner peace, but once I began teaching, that passion naturally evolved into helping others experience the most inspiring transformations in their own lives.
My yoga teacher training and first teaching gig
Just a few years after beginning my yoga practice, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara. Shortly afterward, I got my first real teaching gig at Ritual Yoga Arts in Laguna Beach, which is where I spent nearly six years teaching, managing, and continuing my yoga education through avenues that intrigued me.
During my time at Ritual, I also achieved my 500-hour certification in Bali, studied Devanagari Sanskrit on the island of Kauai, became certified to teach Aerial Yoga in Hollywood, and continued refining myself as the teacher that my inner being recognizes – this, as I’ve learned, is a never-ending process.
How I discovered yoga
Yoga came into my life when I was nineteen and working at an iconic vegan restaurant in Laguna Beach, California. I was at the time obsessed with seeking out a healthier lifestyle, more self-confidence, as well as greater happiness in life, and a coworker happened to invite me to my very first yoga class.
As much as I actually disliked my introductory yoga class, it ignited an unforeseen passion that led me to explore various styles of yoga before finding my true calling in vinyasa. The creative flows, profound physical and mental benefits, and harmony of movement spoke to my soul on a new and exciting level. This discovery helped me not only create a healthier relationship with myself, it also motivated me to become a yoga teacher.
